Bucket Elevators: A bucket elevator is a type of conveyor system used to move materials vertically (upwards). It consists of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain that lifts bulk materials like grain, coal, or other powders and particles from one point to a higher point. The buckets scoop up the material, carry it up, and then dump it at the top.

In the context of a silo, which is a large container used to store bulk materials like grain, cement, or feed, bucket elevators are commonly used to move material from the ground level into the silo or from one part of the silo to another.

Sweep Augers: The sweep auger is primarily used to collect and unload the residual grain or other bulk materials from the flat-bottomed silos, where traditional gravity-based unloading methods are less effective, especially when there's still a considerable amount of material left after the main unloading process.

Pre-Cleaner: A pre-cleaner is a type of equipment used in material handling systems, particularly in the grain and agricultural industries, to remove debris, impurities, and foreign materials from bulk materials before they undergo further processing or storage.
