Precise Ship Unloading – Turning Bulk Handling into a Competitive Advantage

When goods are transferred directly from ships to rail or trucks, two fac-tors determine your profit: meas-urement accuracy and process speed.

The reality: Where conventional scales fail

Anyone handling bulk materials with grabs or continuous unloaders knows the problem: Throughput rates fluctuate significantly. Classic belt scales or volumetric methods of-ten reach their limits here:
• Inaccuracies lead to lengthy discussions with customers.
• Inhomogeneous material (moisture, varying density) dis-torts results.
• High wear on mechanical components causes unplanned downtime.

The solution: C-LEVER® – Measuring in free fall

To eliminate these bottlenecks, you need a system that adapts to the material flow – not the other way around. The C-LEVER® mass flow measurement system was developed specifically for these harsh conditions.

The principle is as simple as it is ingenious: Measurement takes place inline in free fall. The material flows freely through the system without mechanical components restrict-ing the flow or wearing out due to friction. Turning Bulk Handling into a Competitive Advantage.

Your benefits in daily handling
1. Maximum accuracy instead of rough estimates
With very high precision, C-LEVER® provides reliable data for internal billing and logistics planning. Every ton is cap-tured – regardless of whether the material is dusty, moist (to a limited extent), or abrasive. The only requirement is that it flows well and does not adhere.

2. Optimized truck and rail scheduling
Thanks to real-time data, you know every second how much mass has already been loaded. This means:
• No overloading: Avoidance of fines and safety risks.
• No underloading: Maximum utilization of transport ca-pacities.
• Shorter waiting times: More efficient slot planning at the loading station.

3. Maintenance-free through the harsh port environment
Port conditions are extreme. Dust, moisture, and abrasive materials put any mechanics under strain. Because C-LEVER® operates without moving parts in the measurement area, you significantly reduce maintenance costs and mas-sively increase system availability.

Economic efficiency that pays off quickly

A measurement system must pay for itself. By avoiding quantity losses, reducing maintenance intervals, and seam-lessly integrating into existing conveying systems, invest-ment in C-LEVER® often pays off in a very short time.

Those who invest in precise measurement technology today secure process control for tomorrow. C-LEVER® is more than just a scale – it is your tool for a transpar-ent and highly efficient logistics chain.
