MATERIAL HANDLING EQUIPMENTS | LGS PROJECTS

In today's fast-paced industrial landscape, efficient material handling is crucial for optimizing productivity and minimizing costs. LGS PROJECTS understands that effective material handling is more than just moving materials; it's about optimizing workflow, reducing waste, and maximizing your bottom line. Our solutions are engineered to handle raw materials, work-in-progress, finished goods, and more, ensuring a seamless and efficient process from start to finish. As a leading manufacturer and turnkey service provider of Liquid Storage Bolted Steel Tanks and Grain Storage Silos globally, we understand the importance of integrated solutions.

LGS Projects designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of material handling equipment, including:

Conveyors: We offer a variety of conveyor systems, including chain conveyors, screw conveyors, and belt conveyors, tailored to specific applications and capacity requirements.

  • Chain Conveyors: Uses a series of connected chains to move materials along a track. These conveyors are particularly useful for heavy or large items that need to be moved through a factory or warehouse.
  • Screw Conveyors: Designed for efficient and consistent transport of various agricultural and industrial products, offering flexibility with reversible motors and multiple discharge points. A screw conveyor consists of a helical screw or auger that rotates within a tube or trough to move materials along. Works well in small spaces and can be configured to transport materials at different angles.
  • Belt Conveyors: Uses a continuous belt (typically made of rubber, fabric, or metal) to carry materials along a track. Suitable for moderate horizontal conveying of granular products like grains, pellets, and powders.

Sliding Gates: Designed to control material flow from storage bins, silos, and other discharge points, available in manual and pneumatic options. In a silo, sliding gates are often used at the bottom or top to regulate the flow of materials (like grain or cement) being poured in or out.

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-CleanerA 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.
