Silos Córdoba designs innovative conveyor for grain operations

 

Silos Córdoba has designed a highly innovative machine for loading silos at ports.

The company's R&D Department - led by Jose Cabrera - has been commissioned to design a new type of enclosed band conveyor, a heavy machinery product that is able to operate 24 hours a day for grain conveying operations.

"This is a very innovative machine in Europe. It provides high reliability, robustness and a very advanced cleaning system, because of the enclosed conveying chain through which the grains move. This new type of machine outperforms other similar machines in the market, since it uses less energy and requires less maintenance, which makes it much more competitive than the overall machinery in the market", Jose Cabrera explained.

"Along with this innovation, we are working on a new stationary technology that allows this machine to evacuate the raw material at intermediate points of its route. This innovation will provide greater versatility to the belt conveyor recently designed. The technological level and quality of this machine is highly recognised worldwide," Cabrera added.
