  • Present invention relates to a method and systems for filling 20 feet containers used in transporting. More particularly, the inventions relates to a method and system for filling 20 feet shipping containers filled with light weight, free flowing, granule and powder materials.
  • firstly granule materials are filled into some bags and then the bags are loaded into containers manually by workers. It is obvious that the method is not practical and cost saving at all because of the excessive work force used and the time consumed. Additionally, all available volume of the containers cannot be used because of the gaps remained between bags loaded into containers recklessly.
  • firstly products are filled into big-bags having 500-1000 kg. load capacity and kept or stockpiled in manufacture plant and at the time of shipping, the big-bags are loaded into containers by some special sized forklifts to enter into the container easily and at last containers are discharged at the destination in the same manner. While loading and discharging, wood pallets are used under the big-bags for easy loading into the container by forklifts.
  • container's available volume cannot be used effectively as a result of gaps remained between the big-bags piled in the container and therefore number of containers to be used and costs also increases due to ineffective usage of the container's interior volume. Furthermore, such filling method is really time consuming and not practical at all.
  • containers are loaded without using big-bags by special p urpose l oader vehicles, with relatively s mall wheels a nd b uckets o r the like, which is sized in order to enter into the container.
  • special p urpose l oader vehicles with relatively s mall wheels a nd b uckets o r the like, which is sized in order to enter into the container.
  • an inner liner bag is manually tied to the steel lashing rings in the container by belts.
  • the inner liner bag preferably has two loading and two discharging spouts and the container is f ixed to a truck having hydraulic means.
  • the container's one end is tilted to a certain degree and brought in adjacent position to an outlet of a silo or the like.
  • workers climb to lifted end of the container and connect the loading spout of the container t o t he outlet o f the s ilo through c ontainer's d oor a nd t hen c ontainer i s filled using the force of gravity.
  • the container can be discharged by being tilted using the force of gravity and/or a rotor jet again depending on the fluidity of the product.
  • the interior volume of the container still cannot be filled completely since the container cannot be lifted so that it can be vertical to the ground and therefore there always remains spaces not used therein.
  • using the all load capacity of the container for example 22 tons for 6 meter-container, cannot be possible especially when dealing with granule materials, having relatively low density, due to said remaining space not used, manufacturer. Accordingly, transportation expenses rise considerably due to ineffective usage of the container's volume and also the need of using inner liner bags in containers.
  • this filling method is time consuming, not practical and dangerous since workers climb to risen end of the container, almost 5 meter high, and try to connect the filling spouts to the silo's outlet by risking their life.
  • Present invention relates to a 20 feet container filling method and a system to realize the method, eliminating all above mentioned drawbacks.
  • main advantage of the present invention is to be able to use %100 entire volume of the containers used in bulk transportation and thus to reduce shipping costs such as sea, land and air transport.
  • Another advantage of the invention is to eliminate the need of pre-packing such as bags, sacks or big-bags while filling the containers and therefore to reduce the related costs.
  • One another advantage of the invention is to minimize workforce and the time consumed and therefore to reduce labor costs to fill containers.
  • present invention is a method for filling containers, used in shipping, comprising the steps of; providing a saddle-like container holder for securely holding the container, providing actuating means for lifting, lowering and rotating the container, attaching said actuating means to the container holder, positioning the container, preferably by a truck, in the container holder so that it is substantially surrounded by the container holder, securing the container to the container holder, lifting up the container to an adequate height for allowing the truck go away by the actuating means and for being able to rotate it to a substantially vertical position, rotating the container to a substantially vertical position by the actuating means, seating the container on the ground in said vertical position by the actuating means, filling t he e ontainer w ith d esired m aterials a t i ts d oors a t the u pper s ide thereof, rotating the container substantially back to its previous position by the actuating means when desired load capacity i

  • the present invention is also a container holder for holding shipping containers characterized in that it is a saddle-like frame circling the container and formed by coupling plurality of vertical and horizontal profiles, said container holder also having two detachable horizontal profiles facing each other at bottom surface thereof.

  • the container (4) is moved back by a truck (5) into the saddle-like container holder (1) when the two detachable horizontal profiles (4.1 ) is detached.
  • position of the container, still seating on the truck (5) is adjusted so that the detachable horizontal profiles (4.1 ) can be pushed through the two forklift fork channels of the container (10) llustrated in figure 10.
  • the detachable profiles is coupled to the vertical profiles by mounting means.
  • the mounting means comprises at least one bolting hole (1.4.1 ) - but preferably two, embodied at the lower part of the vertical profiles (1.4) and also on the forklift fork channels (4.1.1 ) and coupling bolts (2) for firmly connecting the said bolting holes (1.4.1 , 4.1.1) to each other as shown in the figure 1c.
  • the container holder (1 ) also has diagonal profiles (1.6), preferably embodied at the two opposite lateral sides thereof (1.2), which are intersecting each other, to ensure enough strength of the container holder (1) and to obtain a connection point for coupling actuation means to the container holder.

  • the container (4) is lifted by hydraulic jacks (3.1 ) over the truck body (5) to the extend that the container's front surface does hit ground when it is rotated to a vertical position, namely approximately up to 10-15 cm and therefore the truck (5) is enabled to leave the filling station without the container.
  • the hydraulic jacks (3.1 ) continue to lift the container (4) 60-70 cms more to reach a substantial height to be able to rotate the container (4) freely to vertical position above ground and the container (4) is rotated accordingly as illustrated in figure 4.
