Multifilling of sugar in a truck
Multifilling of sugar in a truck
(OP)
I'm searching for a better solution to fill sugar in bulk form in a truck. So far the truck is filled with 25 to of sugar via one fixed pipe. Due to the bad flowing of the sugar the location of the truck and the filling hole has to be changed several times. This costs a lot of loading time and money.
Is there an industrial solution to fill six holes of a truck simultaneously?

RE: Multifilling of sugar in a truck
One solution I've seen used a series of holding bins on legs under which the truck parked. Gates on all bins were opened simultaneously without needing to move. A cross auger over the tops of the bins allowed them to be filled when there were no trucks waiting or between trucks.
Another less costly solution that reduced the number of times the truck needed to move was to install a flexible spout to the pipe so more length could be filled at each positioning of the truck.
Look at some grain handling systems sites. Your problem differs mainly in the flow characteristics.
