2,000T/H CHAIN BUCKET TYPE CONTINUOUS SHIP UNLOADER FOR REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY (USA)

A continuous ship unloader for unloading bauxite from ships berthed on either side of a pier. The digging device always cuts a flat surface all the way to the bottom of the hold for stable and efficient rates of unloading and the full float mechanism allows the digging device to follow the movement of the ships bottom to clean up the entire hold very quickly.
