Raw Materials Storage System
Overview:
To design, manufacture, manage and install an additional 600 tonnes of bulk storage in five galvanised smooth-wall silos.
Problem:
The client lacked necessary storage on-site to meet production demands, so was leasing storage units and paying additional transport costs to bring raw materials to site when needed.
Solution:
GAME advised the client on the best method to maximise space to gain the necessary storage on-site.
The new plant commences from the existing 400mm diameter screw conveyor on top of 3 grain silos. A feed from here to a new short conveyor transfers the material into a transverse conveyor situated on the top of the new silos. This conveyor has six outlets, five fitted with electro-pneumatic slides and one end outlet with hand-slide.
The five silos all positioned in line have a holding capacity of 120 tonnes each based on cereal with a bulk density of 750kg/m3 and were installed alongside the existing storage facilities.
Each silo has high level indication and access facility. Each expansion hopper fitted with a twin bin discharger to control the product to the chain & flight conveyor. The chain & flight conveyor fitted under the bin dischargers then feeds to a new belt & bucket elevator. A new 400mm diameter screw conveyor positioned above the boiler room transfers the material from the new elevator to existing intake elevator.
Result:
Client now has sufficient on-site storage to meet production demands without having to lease extra storage and transport.
