The Bühler stationary ship loader Portaload is a high-throughput ship loader for grain and raw materials. Its efficient loading system cuts down berthing times, can save installation costs and loads a wide range of ships up to Post-Panamax class.
Stationary ship loaders are the preferred solution for terminals with high annual throughputs and dedicated infrastructure. They are designed to maximize loading efficiency and minimize interruptions, enabling continuous operation and the shortest possible berthing times.
The multi-boom configuration combines parallel operation and optimal hatch filling. This ensures continuous loading without interruption and significantly cuts vessel turnaround times.
Available in configurations with 3 or 4 towers, the system can be adapted to different capacities and vessel sizes, including post-Panamax, and supports future expansion.
The low boom position reduces lifting height, cutting energy consumption and enabling a more compact, cost-efficient installation.
A robust mechanical design and continuous operation concept ensure smooth performance, minimal downtime, and high planning reliability.
Dust-Controlled Loading Compliance
Reduces dust emissions during loading by stabilizing the product flow before it enters the ship’s hold. Ensures compliance with environmental regulations while maintaining efficiency.
Extended Reach, Precise Loading
Extends the loading range while minimizing dust formation. Enables precise placement of the product, even under challenging loading conditions.
I have to say that the loaders are performing as advertised, they’re doing really well. I would partner with Bühler again. I think we got a good product here.
