DEF

...a mechanized conveyor system which transports grain from the grain elevator to the vessel.

CONT

Conveyor belts inside the galleries transfer grain from scales to shipping spouts. The height of the galleries permit ships with high superstructures to be loaded and as the galleries can extend into deeper water, vessels with deeper draft can berth alongside. Shipping galleries can also provide a greater number of berths as ships can tie up on each side of the gallery.

  • Culture des céréales
  • Manutention continue
  • Transport de marchandises
  • Circulation des trains
CONT

[...] La hauteur des galeries au-dessus de l'eau permet de charger des bateaux à superstructures élevées et, en eaux plus profondes, les bateaux à plus fort tirant d'eau peuvent s'amarrer plus facilement à l'appontement. Les appontements permettent à plus de bateaux de s'amarrer puisque les bateaux peuvent s'y placer de chaque côté.

Subject field(s)
  • Materials Handling
  • Water Transport
  • Milling and Cereal Industries
CONT

By tradition, grain ships have been loaded using shipping spouts hung from high galleries on the jetty. Thus, the larger or broader the ship's beam, the higher the gallery. With the advent of even larger bulk carriers, it is becoming fashionable to load grain ships using jetty-mounted ship-loaders with loading booms reaching out over the ship's hold. These ship-loaders, when equipped with telescopic vertical discharge spouts, emit less grain dust since grain is discharged deep down in the hold.

Domaine(s)
  • Manutention
  • Transport par eau
  • Minoterie et céréales
CONT

Les bateaux à grain ont traditionnellement été chargés à l'aide de goulottes reliées à des appontements qui surplombent la jetée. Ainsi, plus le bateau est large, plus l'appontement doit être élevé. Avec l'apparition des vraquiers, cargos encore plus larges, on tend de plus en plus à utiliser des chargeurs de bateaux installés sur la jetée et munis d'une flèche de chargement qui s'avance au-dessus de la cale du bateau. Lorsqu'ils sont équipés d'une goulotte verticale télescopique, ces chargeurs de bateaux soulèvent moins de poussière de grain puisqu'ils pénètrent très profondément dans la cale.
