Grain bunkers are used for the temporary or long-term storage of bulk grains, such as wheat, corn, barley, and other grains. They provide a secure, cost-effective solution for managing large quantities of grain, especially during harvest seasons when storage demands are high. Grain bunkers help protect the grain from environmental factors like pests, and UV exposure, preserving its quality and preventing spoilage. They are commonly used by farmers, grain traders, and storage facilities.
We Supply grain bunkers ranging from 5000tons to 100 000tons
A grain cleaner is a machine or device used to remove impurities and foreign materials from harvested grains. The primary purpose of a grain cleaner is to improve the quality and marketability of the grain by eliminating unwanted substances such as dust, dirt, chaff, seeds, sticks, and broken or damaged grains.
Types of Grain Cleaners
Applications
Grain cleaners are widely used in agriculture, food processing, and grain storage facilities. They are essential for ensuring the quality and safety of grains used for human consumption, animal feed, or industrial purposes. By removing impurities, grain cleaners help prevent contamination, improve storage longevity, and enhance the value of the grain.
Bucket elevators are vertical conveying systems used in the grain industry to transport bulk materials, such as grains, seeds, and other agricultural products, vertically from one level to another. They are an essential component in grain handling and storage facilities, as they facilitate the efficient movement of large quantities of grain over considerable heights.
Advantages of Bucket Elevators
Applications
Bucket elevators are widely used in grain storage facilities, feed mills, flour mills, and other agricultural and industrial settings. They are crucial for efficiently moving grains to storage silos, processing areas, or transport vehicles, thus playing a vital role in the grain handling and processing chain.
We supply bucket elevators which can handle from 15tons per hour up to as much as 250 ton per hour, and even more on special request.
Chain conveyors are mechanical devices used in the grain industry to transport bulk materials such as grains, seeds, and other agricultural products horizontally or on an incline. These conveyors use a continuous chain with attached flights or paddles to move materials along a trough or casing. Chain conveyors are an integral part of grain handling systems, providing efficient and reliable transportation of bulk materials within processing plants, storage facilities, and loading/unloading operations
Advantages of Chain Conveyors
Applications
Chain conveyors are widely used in grain storage and processing facilities, including grain elevators, feed mills, and flour mills. They are essential for efficiently moving grains and other bulk materials between different stages of processing, storage silos, and loading/unloading stations.
We supply conveyors which can handle from 15tons per hour up to as much as 250 ton per hour, and even more on special request.
In the grain industry, augers are mechanical devices used to move bulk materials, such as grains, seeds, and feed, through a helical or spiral screw mechanism. Also known as screw conveyors, augers are widely used for conveying, lifting, and distributing grain in various agricultural and industrial applications. They are essential for efficient grain handling, storage, and processing.
We supply auger which can handle from 5ton per hour up to 100tons per hour.
A sweep auger is a specialized type of auger used in grain storage facilities, specifically designed to remove residual grain from flat-bottom silos. After most of the grain has been emptied from a bin through gravity or other means, a sweep auger helps clean out the remaining grain that cannot be easily removed. This process is crucial for maintaining the quality of the stored grain, preventing spoilage, and preparing the bin for new grain.
A grain dryer is a specialized piece of equipment used to reduce the moisture content of harvested grains to a safe and stable level for storage. Proper drying is crucial to prevent spoilage, mold growth, and loss of quality during storage. Grain dryers are used in agricultural settings, such as farms and commercial grain handling facilities, to ensure that grain is stored in optimal conditions.
An aeration system for silos is designed to control the temperature and moisture levels within a silo, thereby ensuring the quality and longevity of stored grains or other bulk materials. Proper aeration helps prevent problems such as spoilage, mold growth, and pest infestations, which can occur if the stored materials are not adequately ventilated.
Benefits of Aeration Systems
Enhances Efficiency: Aeration systems can improve the efficiency of grain storage and handling by reducing the need for frequent inspections and manual intervention.
We supply different size towers to support bucket elevators and walkways/gantries as well as side wall supports which is bolted to the silos. It is essential to properly support the walkways which runs over silos so that it can handle extreme load and wind conditions.
A gantry over silos is a structural framework or platform that spans across or above storage silos, typically used for supporting various equipment and facilitating operations related to grain handling and storage. It serves several purposes in managing and operating silos effectively. Mainly used to support conveying equipment.
When it comes to civil work for a silo complex it is very important to do the right job starting with a DCP Test, A DCP (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer) test is a field test used to evaluate the strength and compaction of soils and aggregates, typically in construction and geotechnical engineering. The test helps determine the bearing capacity and stability of the ground, which is crucial for designing and constructing foundations, pavements, and other structures.
After the evaluation the right design can be done, and the right bulk earth works and concrete work can follow.
It is very important to investigate each individual site as all sites have different soil types and strengths.
Having a proper installation team for silos and handling equipment is essential for ensuring that the equipment performs effectively, operates safely, and achieves a long service life. It also helps in complying with regulations, optimizing efficiency, and reducing operational costs, making it a critical investment for successful and sustainable operations
