High-speed Container Loading

With the worldwide patented mobile system “Siloadmaxx”, bulk materials are filled into a standard container directly on the manufacturer’s site. The system is capable of loading up to 25 t in about 25 minutes and has the potential to reach a daily filling capacity of 500 t. But the accelerated loading of 25 t of material is not the major advantage of the system: direct loading of loose materials into containers minimizes transportation routes and packaging costs, and this is why the developers, Thomas Heinzen and Christian Hanses, are convinced about the future potential of their concept: “We shorten commodity flows and will make worldwide transport of empty containers a thing of the past”, says Mr. Heinzen.
