During the recent National Day-Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, the bustling operations and innovative achievements at Shandong Ports captured significant attention from multiple mainstream media outlets. Notably, Guangming Net featured a special report titled "Shandong Rizhao Port: Grain Unloading Operations Equipped with a 'Chinese Core'," highlighting the first domestically developed automated continuous grain unloader—a collaborative innovation between our company, Shandong Port Group, and Wuhan University of Technology. The report showcased its highly efficient operational performance at Rizhao Port Yulang Company, Shandong Ports, and was subsequently widely republished by authoritative platforms such as people.cn, sdnews.com.cn, and ifeng.com.
The report emphasized that the unloader played a pivotal role in supporting Rizhao Port’s record-breaking soybean throughput achieved in September this year. As a "national key equipment" breaking foreign technological monopolies, its core technologies and critical components are 100% domestically produced, with a maximum unloading capacity of 1,500 tons per hour. This achievement not only fills a technological gap in the domestic field but also injects robust momentum of "Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing" into port grain handling operations. Rizhao Port particularly stressed that this represents a major outcome of in-depth collaboration and dedicated efforts among the port, academic institutions, and enterprises, marking a significant innovative breakthrough in China’s port machinery sector. Practical validations have confirmed that the unloader demonstrates notable improvements in key performance indicators such as operational efficiency, energy consumption control, optimized cleanup volume, and hardcake-breaking capability, outperforming current mainstream market products.
The concentrated coverage by these leading media outlets reflects not only high recognition of the tripartite collaborative achievement but also underscores China’s determined progress toward high-end, intelligent, and autonomous transformation in its equipment manufacturing industry. Moving forward, we will further promote the technological expertise gained from this unloader, continue tackling industry challenges such as handling compacted materials, and provide more robust equipment support to enhance the efficiency of China’s port logistics and safeguard national grain supply chain security—laying a solid foundation for domestic port machinery to enter broader global markets.
