Grain unloading conveyor for ground level use
Efficiently unload bulk materials at ground level while minimizing dust and ensuring optimal flow, perfect for high-capacity operations needing space-saving solutions.
Transports and Unloads Bulk Materials Continuously
The Pit Eliminator Drag Conveyor from Scott Equipment Company is specially engineered for facilities aiming to optimize bulk material unloading and transport while minimizing dust-related issues. This conveyor system boasts a flat-bottom design, which provides greater capacity in a compact vertical profile, making it ideal for animal nutrition, pet food, ethanol, and various industrial applications. Capable of moving up to 18,000 cubic feet per hour, the Pit Eliminator ensures efficient, continuous operation.
The conveyor’s square construction includes 55-degree side slopes and a dust-tight take-up section that employs 1/4″ thick rubber gaskets with positive eccentric cams for effective dust containment. For non-free-flowing materials, the optional Double Sprocket tail elevates the chain return shroud to prevent blockage, ensuring a continuous material flow. Designed for integration within both pre-processing and transport departments, it handles solid and granular products with ease and maintains a dust-free environment.
This system is equipped for seamless integration into your production line, featuring manual operational options that prioritize maintenance ease. While Scott Equipment offers standard replacement parts to facilitate quick repairs, the custom-built approach of the Pit Eliminator emphasizes quality fabrication to meet specific production needs.
