The MP 18-110 is a store loader developed by Dewulf primarily for the North American market, where long, narrow storage sheds are common. With a conventional store loader, filling this type of storage shed requires the line to be stopped regularly in order to move the machine backwards. With the MP 18-110, the machine can continue pivoting while travelling backwards, eliminating the need to interrupt the storage process. The machine combines a high processing capacity of up to 250 tonnes per hour with a long reach and the ability to efficiently fill arch-roofed storage buildings.
The MP 18-110 is equipped with 110-cm (43 inch)-wide conveyors, with minimal drop between the elevator and boom. The telescopic boom features a single-piece conveyor belt, ensuring consistent product flow, minimal maintenance and exceptionally product-friendly handling. With a pivot radius of 23 metres (76 ft) and a net boom length of 15.5 metres (51 ft) measured to the wheels, the MP 18-110 is particularly well suited for filling trailers from the rear. Depending on the product type, you can choose an elevator with either a rubber belt or a belted chain, available in four pitches.
A unique feature is the Premium filling program, which operates fully automatically and also forms new layers on its own, greatly reducing the operator’s workload and ensuring exceptionally consistent filling quality. Once a layer has been completed, the boom automatically lifts. It then extends and pivots along the side wall for product detection before starting the next layer. This process is repeated until the top layer is completed. An acoustic signal then indicates that the filling program has finished, or the entire line can be shut down automatically.
