Loading head of a pneumatic loading system for bulk material

A loading device of a pneumatic loading system for the uniform introduction of bulk material into the inner space of container sections, comprising:

• a loading tube having an inlet and an outlet, the bulk material being fed into the inlet of the loading tube from a distribution line;
• a loading head arranged on the outlet of the loading tube, the bulk material flowing through the loading head;
• an outlet connector comprising a first end connected to the outlet of the loading tube, and a second end, the bulk material flowing through the outlet connector,
• a distribution head disposed at the second end of the outlet connector to receive the bulk material and having an approximately conical deflection outer surface to laterally deflect the received bulk material into the container sections, and
• an adjustable locking device to shift positions of the distribution head at least along a direction parallel to a longitudinal extension of the container sections and lock the distribution head in a filling position, the longitudinal extension extending parallel to a direction of travel of the container sections,
• wherein lateral outlet openings for the bulk material are defined between the second end of the outlet connector and the deflection surface of the distribution head, and
• wherein by shifting positions of the distribution head, a size of a cross section of lateral outlet openings through which the bulk material passes differs depending on a longitudinal position of the distribution head within the second end of the outlet connector.
