Bulk material container loading made simple

Load grain, feed ingredients, and other free-flowing bulk materials into 20- and 40-foot shipping containers with a system configured for your operation. Sudenga container loaders offer belt or auger conveying, portable or stationary configurations, multiple inlet arrangements, and electric or hydraulic drive options. Each system can be configured around your material, existing equipment, available space, and desired capacity.

Flexible container loading for a wide range of materials

Sudenga container loaders are suitable for grain, DDGs, meals and malts, feed ingredients, feed pellets, plastic pellets, and other free-flowing granular materials. Additional applications can be evaluated based on the characteristics of the material being handled.

Choose the conveying method that fits your material and budget

Belt-style container loaders

A belt conveyor provides gentler product handling, making it a strong choice for materials susceptible to damage or degradation. The 12-inch tube belt conveyor uses a 14-inch-wide belt that forms a cup inside the tube, helping contain material and minimize material working beneath the sides of the belt.

The 12-inch belt conveyor offers these capacities:

• Up to 4,800 CFH (3,860 BPH) at 400 FPM
• Up to 8,100 CFH (6,510 BPH) at 675 FPM
• Up to 10,800 CFH (8,680 BPH) at 900 FPM

Auger-style container loaders

An auger conveyor provides a simple, economical container-loading solution for durable, free-flowing materials. The 12-inch auger offers capacities up to 4,242 CFH (3,410 BPH) at 180 RPM.

Capacities listed are maximum estimates. Actual throughput may vary with material characteristics, conveyor speed, feed conditions, and equipment configuration. BPH figures are approximate and based on U.S. dry bushels.

Portable or stationary configurations

Portable units can be moved out of the way when they are not in use or transferred between multiple container-loading areas.

Stationary units are well suited for dedicated loading locations supplied by permanent equipment such as overhead surge tanks, bins, augers, or conveyors.

Multiple ways to feed the loader

Container loaders can be configured to receive material from:

• Loader buckets
• Low-profile or ground-level hoppers
• Feeder augers and conveyors
• Overhead bins or surge tanks
• Other application-specific feeding systems

The appropriate inlet arrangement depends on how material reaches the loading area, the equipment already on site, and the desired loading workflow.

Maximize container fill

The support structure allows for side-to-side positioning of the discharge end. This adjustment helps operators distribute material more effectively across the container, maximizing the available fill space.

Built around your application

Available options include:

• Configurations for 20- or 40-foot shipping containers
• Portable or stationary support structures
• Belt or auger conveying
• Electric or hydraulic drive
• Multiple inlet and hopper arrangements
• Application-specific dust collection
• Controls ranging from simple operation to more advanced electrical packages
• Knocked-down shipment for final assembly at the installation site

Contact Sudenga to discuss your material, target capacity, container size, loading method, power requirements, and available space.

Estimate your container loading time

How could a container loader fit your operation? Use the calculator below for estimated loading times for 20- and 40-foot shipping containers. Select a conveyor capacity, then adjust the material density and payload weight to match your application.

Results are estimates only, not guaranteed loading times. Calculations assume continuous material flow; actual times will vary with operating conditions. Allow additional time for setup, positioning, interruptions, and final filling.
