Ship loading with bulk loader

The berth on our bulk loader (Hagel-Nord) has a constant water depth of 11 m above sea level. This enables the loading of seagoing vessels with a width of 25 m and loading tonnage of approx. 30,000 t.

Our modern bulk loader can be used to transport free-flowing bulk goods, such as fertiliser or salt. The goods arrive onboard the ship either via direct transloading, i.e., from freight cars or lorries, or via indirect transloading, i.e., from the warehouse via a closed pipe system with integrated conveyor belts. This results in an output of 400-500 t/h, depending on the transported product.

Hagel stands for enormous flexibility and guaranteed clean transloading. The system is thoroughly cleaned after each loading process and the pipe system provides protection against environmental influences.
