The BPS Container Loading System is purpose-built for fast, efficient loading of 20-foot and 40-foot shipping containers, specifically for the export of ferrous and nonferrous metals. Designed with durability and throughput in mind, this robust system streamlines the loading process, ensuring precise material placement and reduced handling time. The system is comprised of three integrated components: the Vibratory Hopper Feeder, the Loading Belt Conveyor, and the System Controls.
At the heart of the system is a rugged surge hopper, constructed from 1/2” steel plate for long-lasting performance in demanding environments. With a holding capacity of approximately 15 cubic yards, the hopper provides ample space to accommodate high-volume loading needs. A manually adjustable control gate allows operators to fine-tune material flow, ensuring steady and controlled feeding into the system. For enhanced stability and ease of installation, the hopper and vibratory feeder are mounted on a shared support base.
The loading process is made simple and efficient with a heavy-duty cantilevered belt conveyor, engineered to operate at adjustable speeds between 500 and 1000 feet per minute (FPM). This allows material to accumulate and stack properly inside the container. During operation, a truck backs into position with the container, allowing the conveyor to extend inside. As the operator activates the system, the vibratory feeder and conveyor begin loading material while the truck slowly pulls forward, achieving even and thorough container filling.
Each BPS Container Loading System includes a comprehensive control package for maximum operational efficiency. Housed in a NEMA 12/4 UL/cUL listed enclosure, the controls feature variable frequency drives (VFDs) for both the vibratory feeder and the belt conveyor. This setup allows operators to precisely adjust the system’s speed and feed rate. Optional enhancements like load cells or a belt scale can be added for advanced weight monitoring and process control.
Ideal for scrap yards, recycling facilities, and export operations, the BPS Container Loading System is engineered to handle continuous-duty applications with minimal downtime. Whether used in the recycling, mining, concrete, food, or chemical industries, this system delivers reliable performance, reduced labor, and efficient container utilization.
