Grain store belt conveyor

[T C]

We are extending a grain store to end up with a 48m long shed 18m wide.
The height of under the ridge is just under 9m.
The shed is filled from a 22t continuous flow drier, realistic flow will not exceed 20t per hour.
How well would a belt conveyor work and any ideas of cost.

Talk to Perrys of Oakley. At that distance it needs to be a roller belt not trough conveyor.

I have a 24 m Perry at the moment that I was going to use, then use the forklift for the rest. However I need to buy a conveyor to join the existing plant to the shed. I just had the idea today to shorten my existing one and feed the whole shed with a new one.
Looking at belts would allow more flexible discharge and cut down a bit on forklift work.

Robin has been great when I’ve dealt with him.

Just a thought but a couple of second hand machines might do the job, rather than 1 long one which will probably have to be new and quite expensive. Depends what you want to spend.
