◊ The pneumatic
shipunloaders of Van Aalst Bulk
Handling BV can be devided in two
groups:
◊
VAST type - which means "suction
only" machines
◊ This type of shipunloader sucks the
cement out of the ship or river
barge and drops it into a bulktruck
or on a belt conveyor which is
located near the shipunloader.
◊
VASS type - which means "suction /
blow" machines
◊
This type of shipunloader sucks the
cement out of the ship and blows it
to the storage facility. Both parts
of the process will be executed by
the equipment which is built as one
complete shipunloader. Only a
pipeline has to be installed between
the shipunloader and the storage
facility.
