Container Loader
FEATURES
- 12″ auger- or belt-style conveyors are available for filling 20- and 40-foot shipping containers with grain, DDGs, and other free-flowing materials.
- Stationary and portable configurations are available with inlet hopper options customized to your application.
- Auger-fill, loader-fill, and ground-level belt or auger hoppers are available.
- The support structure provides left-to-right and vertical adjustment.
- Electric and hydraulic drive options are available.
Capacities
12″ Belt Conveyor
- Up to 3,860 BPH (4,800 CFH) at 400 FPM
- Up to 6,510 BPH (8,100 CFH) at 675 FPM
- Up to 8,680 BPH (10,800 CFH) at 900 FPM
12″ Auger
-
Up to 3,410 BPH (4,242 CFH) at 180 RPM
Capacities listed are maximum estimates. Actual throughput may vary with material characteristics, conveyor speed, feed conditions, and equipment configuration. Auger style can convey any free flowing material where particle size is less than 4”. Capacities and horsepower requirements are based on 14-15% moisture content. Tube fill rates are 65% for augers. Changes in moisture content and fill rates will alter capacities and horsepower requirements. Not starting empty will also raise horsepower requirements.
Belt or Auger?
Belt conveyors provide gentler product handling and are a good fit for materials susceptible to damage or degradation. The oversized belt forms a cup inside the tube to help contain material and minimize material working beneath the sides of the belt.
Auger conveyors provide a simple, economical option for durable, free-flowing materials.
Portable or Stationary?
Choose a portable unit when the loader needs to be moved out of the way or used in multiple loading areas.
Stationary units are ideal for dedicated loading locations supplied by permanent equipment like overhead tanks.
Flexible Inlet Options
Configure the loader 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 right inlet arrangement depends on your existing equipment, site layout, and preferred loading process.
Materials Handled
Sudenga container loaders can handle grain, DDGs, meals and malts, feed ingredients, feed pellets, plastic pellets, coffee, and other free-flowing granular products.
Because materials vary in density, flow characteristics, and handling requirements, Sudenga can help evaluate the appropriate configuration for your application.
