Innovative conveying solutions

摘要

Systems from other industries can be applied to grain handling with much success. When faced with a difficult grain conveying situation, such as long distances and many obstacles, a conventional solution can be difficult to implement. Additionally, when handling difficult materials, such as those that are corrosive, hygroscopic or even toxic and require environmental precautions and a dustless solution, some innovation is required. An initial solution may be going back to a system of running individual loads in trucks. While this requires a lower capital investment, the operational costs are high. In general, the longer the distance and the higher the capacity, the more likely that a continuous system will be the most effective option. The followingare some interesting and innovative bulk-solids handling systems that may not be well known to the grain handling industry.
