Challenge
Technicians at the customer’s plant were rebuilding an unreliable drag conveyor twice per year, resulting in significant repair costs. The conveyor transported 58 tons of warm DDGS per hour vertically from a screw conveyor to an elevated belt conveyor.
The customer required a reliable conveyance system that could reliably handle the free-flowing DDGS 24 hours a day and operate in the confined space.
