Components of Chain Bucket Ship Unloader

• Buckets: Attached to chains or belts, these scoop up and carry the material. Buckets are made from durable materials to handle abrasive bulk cargo.
• Chain or Belt: Supports the buckets and provides the mechanism for lifting and transporting material.
• Boom: The arm of the unloader that extends over the ship's hold. The boom can often be adjusted for different ship sizes and unloading positions.
• Support Structure: Includes the frame and supporting mechanisms that provide stability and support for the unloader.
• Drive System: Powers the movement of the chain or belt and controls the lifting and lowering of the buckets.
• Discharge Mechanism: Transfers the material from the buckets to the conveyor system or directly to storage.
