Filling a big bulk storage for onions or potatoes
Equipment needed to fill a 10.000 Ton bulk storage for potatoes or onions.
Seeing the picture below, it will be clear that some specialized equipment is needed
Equipment needed to fill a bulk storage, from left to right:
1. Receiving hopper with pre-cleaner; The harvested potatoes or onions come in tipper trucks or dumb carts. The product is dumped into the hopper, at the outlet of the hopper is a pre-cleaner. This pre-cleaner has vibrating bars to separate soil and other unwanted inclusions from the product.
2. Telescopic conveyor belts; Telescopic conveyor belts are needed, because the reception hopper cannot be moved all the time, but the product has to get at the correct location in the storage.
3. Piler; Is an elevator that con move up/down, left/right and forward/backward. It piles the product onto the product heap constantly moving not to form cones within the product. These product cones inside a heap of onions or potatoes will inhibit homogenous ventilation.
