Northland Port Corporation New Zealand
Mobil Shiploader and Modular Skid Mounted Tripper Conveyor

The system includes
¨ mobile shiploader,
¨ modular, dismantlable wharf conveyor and tripper system
¨ fixed conveyors to move material to the wharf
¨ chain conveyor reclaim system,
¨ pad storage for woodchips.

The entire conveying system is rated at 1,000 t/h of woodchips (approximately 2,500m3/h).

The shiploader is mobile and designed for high sided Panamax vessels. The modular, wharf conveyor and tripper system incorporates easily dismountable skid mounted conveyor units that can be removed from the wharf area to make way for other wharf users. The tail section of the wharf conveyor pivots and can be tucked up against the fixed transfer conveyor to allow free access to the wharf. This allows easy, repeatable alignment of the important transition area between the fixed conveyor chute and the wharf conveyor/tripper.

Photographs of the second woodchip ship to berth at the new Marsden point wharf are shown below.
