Filling grain drier

[Pig man Rob]

I am looking at moving my mobile drier and was wondering about changing from a holding bin to this type of small concrete panel storage area, but think it looks as though there could be quite a lot of shovelling with this type of system.

Is anyone using this type of filling system?

I have a 12 ton drier and would like it to be able to get at least one fill itself.

Dig a pit into the ground and put that conveyor in the bottom, otherwise you will be shovelling.

Intake pits should always be as big as possible.

Looks some set up!

Won’t ever dig another pit in the ground here. Water table over last few years is too high all year round.

How about a hopper filled with loadall?
Get a 25-30t and have enough for 2 fills or just a 15t if only wanting 1 fill.
Don’t have it so you have to brim it every time!

That's how I currently work, I have a 12 tonne drier with a 12 tonne holding bin, but I am outside at minute, and would like to move under an existing building and am just concerned about headroom with bucket above bin, I think you would be alright if you were careful, but would have to watch what you were doing while filling.

Sort of one of those jobs alright if you are doing it yourself.

I take it in the first picture that’s designed to reduce the dust tipping it through water

I’d like get mine inside, deteriorates more sitting there than it does working

Place I used to work had a big lid you lifted on with pallet tines, I want to day that was a 20t bin, feeding a 10t drier, but it was a while ago!!

It was a miracle how they managed to lay concrete in the weather we had.
