Barge unloader
The pneumatic barge unloaders are tailor-made, based upon customer’s needs and requests to produce the most efficient and reliable solution possible. Each machine is unique.
The barge unloader unit is a cost-effective equipment adapted for barge unloading. It is a versatile solution that can be easily customized for any specific operation needed.
It consists mainly of an unloading tower with the filter unit, an airlock underneath, a separate machine room - which contains the mechanical elements - and a boom made of a tubular lattice supporting the suction pipes.
The machine is designed with all possible movements for efficient operation and hatch reach.
