A ship unloading mechanism has an endless, vertically operating compartmented belt conveyor by which material to be lifted is transported from a ship's hold at the lower end of the conveyor onto a horizontal conveyor at the top end of the conveyor, when the material is further transported e.g. onto a quayside conveyor, etc. At the lower end of the compartmented belt conveyor there is provided a material supplying device which has a vaned wheel, the vanes of which fling the material at high velocity from the hold into upwardly facing compartments of the compartmented belt conveyor.

Ship unloading mechanism

A continuously operating bulk goods unloader which has by a vertical jib supporter (9) maintaining its direction been affixed to a supporting structure carrying the unloader and within the tubular vertical jib (1) of which runs an endless compartmented belt (5), onto which a detacher head (4) discharges bulk goods. The vertical jib (1) has been subdivided into a lower part (3) and an upper part (2), these parts being interconnected by a turnable joint (6), and the lower part (3) is tiltable with reference to the upper part (2) at the turnable joint, with the aid of pressure cylinder (8).
