Gravity flow grain transport and accessories
Gravity-flow grain transport uses the natural force of gravity to move grain from one facility to another — for example, from a silo to a conveyor or from a hopper to an elevator. This method is energy-efficient and highly reliable, especially in vertical or inclined sections.
Main Components of Gravity Flow Systems:
-
Pipes, elbows, and fittings – for directing the flow
-
Diverter valves – for changing the direction of grain movement
-
Slide gates – for regulating or stopping the flow
-
Transitions – for connecting different sections or adapting to various shapes
