J. Müller Agri Terminal is Germany’ largest port for the import of feedstuffs.
Before cargo is unloaded a visual check is carried out and a sample is taken by J. Müller Agri Terminal representatives. The samples are analysed in the company’s own laboratory. The parameters for these analyses are set out in the control schedules drawn up for incoming cargoes.
When imports of feedstuffs and grain arrive in Brake from third countries the Federal State Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety takes samples and conducts its own tests to make sure no harmful residues are being imported. Nowhere in the European Union are import controls more stringent than in Brake.
Two pneumatic elevators with capacities of 600mt/h and 800 mt/h are used for discharging purposes. High-performance cranes handle products that are unsuitable for elevators..
Two conventional and two self-service-truck-loading terminals are available for customers who wish to collect their consignments in road vehicles.
Two terminals with 450 mt/h and 600 mt/h for railway wagons (block trains) round off our loading options for trucks and railcars.
Considerable quantities of the imported consignments are loaded onto river barges and motor coasters as well as onto railway wagons and trucks.
A load compartment inspection is performed before any consignment is transferred to a barge or a seagoing vessel. A variety of criteria are checked in the course of this inspection. Loading can only begin after the load compartment has been given the all-clear.
