DSI Sandwich Belt conveyors
The DSI Mobile Sandwich Belt shiploader is driven from the dock when not in use, stored and parked much like parking a car.
Australia’s first DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor shiploader elevates 1,000 tonnes per hour of a variety of materials,
Additionally, because of the limited dock space, it was ideal to have a system that was mobile and could be removed from the dock when not loading ships. The ingenuity of DSI partner, Cortex Resources of Hawthorne, Victoria, Australia produced this revolutionary driveable and completely mobile shiploader. One of the more incredible features of
Each set of twin tyres is mounted at a vertical kingpin and can rotate 360° about that vertical axis.

from high value ores to grains and wood chips, from trucks to ship. Conventional conveyors would not have fit the limited dock space, so a smaller footprint was required. Recognized for the ability and advantage to elevate at much higher angles, the DSI Sandwich Belt conveyor was engineered to elevate materials at a 50° angle.

DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyors take on many forms and offer many advantages. They offer a clean, environmentally sound operation because the material being carried remains hugged between the two conveyor belts. A DSI Sandwich belt high angle conveyor is capable of higher conveying speeds and greater capacities than other high angle conveying methods. High angles of 90° are typical, and lifts of 300m are easily accomplished. With all the positive features of the DSI Sandwich Belt conveyor, it has been successfully used in mining, quarries, plants and tunneling, but one sector less talked about is ports and terminals. The DSI Sandwich Belt high angle conveyor has not only been implemented on shiploaders, but the ingenuity of Dos Santos International took the technology beyond perceived limits to offer efficient and sustainable solutions to solve challenges at ports and terminals.
