Recently, at the rear stacking yard of Penglai Port Area of Yantai Port in Shandong Port, with the start - up of a tire - type dry bulk stacker, coal was continuously raised and shaped into stacks by the stacker, marking the official commissioning of Shandong Port's first stacker with iron - removal function.
This equipment, jointly researched, designed and modified by Yantai Port and Bohai Bay Port of Shandong Port, in line with the stacking needs of coal and other bulk cargoes in the rear yard and the loading requirements of vessels under 20,000 tons at the quayside, has further enriched the functions and application scenarios of stackers, promoting the improvement and efficiency of bulk cargo handling business in the port.
The stacker can be directly raised to a maximum height of 12 meters, with a designed flow rate of 1,000 tons per hour and a left and right slewing angle of ±55°. It is driven by dual power sources of a diesel generator and municipal electricity, and can move in various ways such as straight, lateral, diagonal and on - the - spot turning. It is also equipped with auxiliary systems such as a remote control system, a spray system and an iron - removal system. The commissioning and use of the stacker have effectively alleviated the insufficient loading capacity of portal cranes at the front of the wharf and the pressure of stacking bulk cargoes in the rear yard of Penglai Port Company, significantly reducing production operation costs.
During the assembly of the stacker in the port, to ensure the maximum assembly speed, Jiangsu Zhongkang and Penglai Port Company strengthened their linkage with Bohai Bay Port, established a daily report and weekly meeting mechanism, and assigned dedicated personnel to monitor the site, track, schedule and serve the installation of the stacker at all times, and promptly solve problems in the installation and debugging process of the stacker. It was successfully put into use in the 70,000 - ton coal operation of the "Xintaiyuan" and saved about 40,000 yuan in production costs.
This equipment, following the commissioning of three stackers at Weifang Port, represents a closer cooperation with Shandong Port. The stackers are customized according to the specific conditions of different ports, maximizing their production capacity to better match the existing bulk cargo operation requirements of the ports, and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of bulk cargo production operations at the wharfs.
