Efficient, dust-controlled discharging of dry, dusty bulk solids into ships, barges, or stockpiles.
ZX Loading Bellows are used for efficient, dust controlled discharging of dry, dusty bulk solids into ships, barges, or stockpiles. This type of loading spout is provided with inner tapered cones to contain the flow of material and an outer bellows to provide for dust removal.
First the Loading Bellows is lowered from stand-by position towards the ship hold or stockpile. As soon as the bellows outlet touches the ground, a slack cable switch mounted outside the transmission box stops lowering of the bellows. The limit switch inside the transmission box stops both full extension and contraction of the bellows. Material loading starts by opening the silo outlet valve.
Once the bellows is fully contracted, the cable limit switch inside the transmission box stops operation.
