Aerobelt Solution
Aerobelt selected a combination of 800 mm and 650 mm belt conveyors within the plant. All were fully enclosed and used the major component parts from the 800 mm and 650 mm Aerobelt conveyor designs.
The larger 800 mm was used for unloading the trains, and the remainder were for the transfer of grain around the plant. The rail conveyor had a belt weigher fitted to monitor the grain delivered by this method.
