In order to provide for the continuous discharge of particulate material from a ship's hold, a ship's unloader has a L-shape formed by a vertical support 2 and a horizontal take-up arm 3, rotatable about a vertical axis. An endless bucket conveyor 1 passes around both the support 2 and the arm 3, for picking up material adjacent to the arm 3 and carrying the material up out of the hold. The material is discharged radially from the bucket conveyor 1 on to a ring conveyor 19, and thence onto a conveyor belt 22. <IMAGE> |
