Systematic Design Optimization of grabs handling cohesive bulk materials: Systematisch ontwerp optimalisatie van overslag grijpers voor cohesive bulk materialen

Grabs are often used for unloading bulk carriers that transport iron ore cargoes around the globe. The unloading process is time-consuming, and terminals strive to maximise their turnover capacity. Grab performance is a combination of maximum crane capacity, grab design and bulk material behaviour. Due to bulk uncertainties occurred by varying...
