ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for unloading bulk material from ships includes a vertical conveyor arranged on a pivotable jib of a rising scaffold bridge. Since in the case of known vertical conveyors it is not possible to take up the bulk material to the very bottom a ship to be unloaded, the apparatus provides a bulk material unloading apparatus for ships in which in the bottom area the vertical conveyor cooperates with a horizontal conveyor arranged in a casing, which is open in the bulk material receiving area along the horizontal conveyor. The bulk material taken up by the horizontal conveyor is conveyed into the receiving area of the vertical conveyor at the end of the conveying zone by a guide plate. This apparatus makes it possible to take up bulk material to the very bottom of the ship to be unloaded, while ensuring a high working efficiency and capacity.
