Description (French)
EMS-Tech Inc. développera un système de chargement qui sera suspendu aux chargeurs de navires utilisés pour transférer des céréales ou d’autres produits en vrac de la côte aux cales des navires. Ce système permettra de résoudre les problèmes de chargement lors d’évènements pluvieux, tout en contrôlant les émissions de poussières. Le système comprendra une bâche de protection contre la pluie et un bec de chargement à fixer sur le chargeur de navire. Le bec permettra de contrôler l’alimentation et la distribution des matériaux dans les cales du navire grâce à un système de bec qui peut s’étendre, se rétracter, pivoter et s’incliner pour atteindre toutes les zones de la cale. Le système sera évolutif et transférable, de sorte qu’il pourra être appliqué à une variété de navires ou à des applications à terre.
