Part I
Challenge
The customer planned to construct a new storage and load-out system for sawdust and ground pallets at his recycling facility. But while gathering quotes, he learned that the pneumatic conveyance system he’d specified to blow the materials from the bag house to the chip bin would require 60hp to operate, which would result in high energy costs.

Solution
BE&E supplied a drag conveyor that could elevate material from the bag house to the chip bin with a 2-horsepower motor. (Upon installment, the conveyor was equipped with a 3-horsepower motor to provide an adequate safety factor.) BE&E also supplied conveyors to transport ground pallets from a grinder to the baghouse, a trailer-loading station for live-loading material, and a distribution conveyor atop the chip bin.
