Abstract
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.
