Ship loaders & unloaders
Soft, no-load starts and overload protection for boom and bucket-elevator drives.
Fluid couplings for the Port & Harbour industry.
From ship loaders to stacker-reclaimers, Fluidomat couplings start, protect and balance the heavy bulk-handling drives that keep cargo moving — trusted by port trusts and harbour terminals across India.
Overview
Built for the toughest bulk-handling duties.
A working port runs on rugged, high-inertia drives — ship loaders and unloaders, stacker-reclaimers and long bulk conveyors that must start fully loaded and run through dust, salt air and shock loads. Fluidomat couplings let motors start on no load, soften the starting-current surge and protect every drive from the jams and overloads that stall cargo flow.
On multi-motor conveyor and reclaimer drives, our couplings share load evenly between motors and accelerate belts without jerk — keeping handling rates steady and gearboxes, belts and structures free from damaging torque spikes.
