Traditional steel plate ship unloader at ports often relies on manual hooking. This method is cumbersome and labor-intensive. Furthermore, busy periods demand even more workers. Therefore, ports urgently need smarter steel handling solutions.
Magnetic Ship Unloader
A Nanjing Port faced these exact challenges. They handled large steel plates (6-14m long, 1.5-3.5m wide, 6-60mm thick). Previously, workers manually hooked each plate. Consequently, labor costs were high and efficiency limited.
HVR MAG’s electro-permanent lifting magnet provided the breakthrough. Specifically, the model HM6 designed for multi steel plates transformed their ship unloader process. This advanced magnetic lifting equipment delivers powerful, reliable magnetic force.
Key Advantages for Port Material Handling:
- Massive Labor Savings: The magnet eliminated manual hooking in ship holds. Previously, this required 2 workers. Now, labor costs are reduced by 80,000-160,000 RMB annually. Workers welcomed the change enthusiastically.
- Significantly Faster Cycles:Single lift time plummeted from 8-10 minutes to just 3-5 minutes. This dramatic speed boost enhances overall port terminal productivity.
- Handles Diverse Cargo:It easily adapts to various steel plate specifications. Crucially, it lifts multiple plates simultaneously – up to four 10mm thick sheets per cycle. This flexibility is vital for steel plate handling.
- Safety & Reliability:Electro-permanent magnets hold plates securely without continuous power. Therefore, unexpected power failures pose no safety risk during automated unloading systems operations.
Why HVR MAG for Your Port?
- Slash Labor Costs: Reduce dependency on manual hooking teams.
- Boost Unloading Speed: Achieve faster vessel turnaround times.
- Versatile Steel Handling: Effortlessly manage diverse plate sizes and weights.
- Fail-Safe Operation: Enjoy peace of mind with inherent safety during power loss.
This Nanjing port case demonstrates how HVR MAG’s electro permanent lifting magnet creates a superior ship unloader solution. Ports gain an efficient, cost-effective steel plate lifting magnet system. Ultimately, it streamlines steel plate handling and optimizes port terminal productivity.
