SmartLoader
Unattended bulk loading station
Bienfait Filter- & Procestechniek is proud to announce its fully automatic, DCL unattended bulk loading station for high speed filling of dry, dusty materials into enclosed vehicles.
The SmartLoader utilizes a patented vision system that scans the top of the vehicle. Any open hatch or series of open hatches are automatically located, measured, and qualified. The multispeed positioner provides a fast scanning speed to minimize loading cycle times.
A unique articulating positioning arm is used to move the loading spout within a designed loading area. A single spout can cover a loading area of up to 60 feet (18,3m) by 6 feet (1,8m) for center and side hatch railcars. A typical truck loading station would cover a loading area of 36 feet (11m) by 2 feet (610mm). Dual direction positioners can also be utilized to keep costs down when semi truck trailers only are being used.
