A dense loading system with wave loader is a device intended to maximize and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor. More specifically, the device provides a dense loading machine that uses air/nitrogen to propel catalysts within the space of a catalyst reactor. To accomplish this, the system includes a unique arrangement of components that utilizes a hybrid distribution of catalyst through a specifically shaped catalyst distribution disc. Further, the catalyst distribution disc is subjected to both pneumatic and rotational forces with the help of a sparger system and a motor system. In addition, the system provides a dense loading machine that may be operated manually or autonomously. Further, the device may load catalyst in radial waves, may achieve targeted area loading, and includes a gyroscopic auto alignment system for the catalyst distribution disc. Thus, the dense loading system that can efficiently and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor.
