Stationary ship loader
Portaload ™
The Bühler Stationary Portaload ship loader 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.
A quicker way to load ships
Highly flexible loading booms
The booms can move 180° across the ship with a 90° kick system. Their telescopic spouting also means they can get close to a hatch, reducing dust emission and cutting down the free drop height of the product.
Handle a wide range of ships
Be ready for post-Panamax vessels
The Stationary Portaload ship loader can load a wide range of ships. Use four if you want to load post-Panamax. This system helps to get ready for larger ships without the need to invest in new infrastructure.
Cost-effective design
Lower boom height, lower set-up and running costs
The loader’s low boom helps to reduce investment and running costs. Due to the lower boom, a less high tower structure is needed, thus reducing construction costs. A lower boom also requires less elevation of the product, helping to save energy and costs.
