Ship Stowing / Unloading

Ship loading and unloading operations represent one of the most critical applications for industrial wear phenomena, due to the continuous handling of abrasive bulk materials, high operational flow rates, and strong stresses generated during material transfer phases.

During the handling process, components such as hoppers, chutes, conveyors, and discharge points are subject to abrasion and impact phenomena that can compromise the reliability and efficiency of port facilities over time.

In these contexts, SARO intervenes with anti-wear solutions designed to protect highly stressed surfaces, increase component operating life, and reduce maintenance interventions.

The applications concern in particular:

• Ship loading and unloading hoppers
• Slides and material transfer channels
• conveyors and handling lines
• loading and unloading ports
• drop points and material impact
• connections between quay, silos, and processing plants

SARO develops anti-wear measures through the application of:

• high abrasion resistance ceramic coatings – SARCER & SARMOS
• Anti-abrasion rubber and technical ceramic panels – SARCERGOM
• Wear-resistant plates for high-impact areas – SAROMAXNBX
• Integrated solutions for critical material handling protection

SARO operates in support of port and industrial facilities dedicated to material handling, providing anti-wear technical solutions designed for real operating conditions and integrated with the various stages of the ship loading and unloading process.
