Heavy-Duty Grain Handling & Conveying Systems for Global Silo Projects

 

 

Custom-engineered bucket elevators, chain conveyors, belt conveyors, and screw conveyors built for 24/7 continuous bulk handling. Engineered for seamless integration with high-capacity storage silos and processing facilities.

For silo projects, the conveyor should not be selected separately from the storage system. Conveyor capacity, discharge height, inlet position and transfer points need to match the silo configuration and the rest of the handling line.

  • Bucket Elevator Support Towers
    The bucket elevator support towers is an accessory product for bucket elevators. It is mainly used to support and fix the elevator, enabling it to operate stably and lift materials to a specified
  • Bucket Elevator
    The TDTG bucket elevator? It’s a machine we built specifically for moving stuff straight up and down, non-stop. Works great for all kinds of materials—powders, granules, even those tiny flaky bits
  • Scraper Conveyor
    Our TGSS scraper conveyor is a go-to horizontal conveyor, perfect for moving small granules or powdery stuff. You’ll see it used heaps in grain depots, ports, docks—plus all sorts of industries like
  • Screw Conveyor
    The TLSS series horizontal screw conveyor is a fixed mechanical conveying device. It’s good for moving granular or powdery stuff—like grains, oilseeds, and feed—either horizontally or at a slight
  • U Shaped Screw Conveyor
    A U-trough screw conveyor is a continuous machine used for moving bulk materials. Its main parts are a U-shaped trough, screw shaft and blades, drive unit, inlet and outlet ports, sealing covers,
  • Grain Screw Conveyor
    A grain screw conveyor—also commonly called an auger—is a continuous, enclosed bulk material conveying device. It’s built specifically for moving all kinds of grains (wheat, corn, soybeans, rice,
  • Multi-axis Screw Conveyor
    So here’s how the Multi-shaft screw conveyor works: we fit 2 to 4 seamless steel pipes with solid screws inside—some left-handed, others right-handed, that’s the key. When it’s running, a pair of
  • Belt Conveyor Belt
    A belt conveyor is a continuous friction-driven material conveying device. A circular flexible conveyor belt acts as both the load-bearing and traction part. A motor drives a drive drum through a
 
Key Advantages
 

System-Level Engineering Integration Conveyors should never be selected in isolation from the storage layout. OUMU integrates conveyor capacity, discharge elevation, drop angles, and transfer interfaces directly with your silo system to prevent material bridging and equipment bottlenecks.

Industrial-Grade Durability & Wear Protection Manufactured from high-tensile galvanized or stainless steel, OUMU conveying systems feature replaceable high-density wear liners (UHMW-PE or hardened alloy steel) in critical impact zones, extending overall equipment service life by up to 30%.

Dust Control & Operational Safety Equipped with explosion relief panels, belt-alignment sensors, rotation monitoring switches, and backstops, our equipment complies with global safety protocols (ATEX/CE/ISO) for combustible agricultural dust environments.

Global Tier-1 Component Standardization To ensure hassle-free site maintenance, client-specified component brands can be integrated into the manufacturing process, including drive units from Siemens, SEW, or Nord, and bearings from SKF or NSK.

 

Complete Conveying Equipment Lineup
 
Belt Conveyor Belt

Bucket Elevators (Vertical Grain & Feed Elevation)

Designed for efficient vertical material lifting within a compact footprint.

 

Conveying Capacity: Engineered to match receiving line flow rates (up to multi-hundred t/h standards).

 

Belt & Bucket Assembly: Heavy-duty anti-static rubber or solid woven PVC belts fitted with high-impact nylon, polyethylene, or steel buckets.

 

Safety Features: Integrated mechanical backstop, speed sensor, electronic belt-alignment switches, and explosion venting panels.

 

Access & Maintenance: Inspection doors located at the head section and boot casing, with split-hood access for fast pulley servicing.

 

Primary Application: Raising grain and feed ingredients to silo tops, cleaning towers, and processing hoppers.

Enclosed Chain Conveyors (Horizontal & Inclined Transfer)

Ideal for enclosed, dust-tight bulk transfer along defined routes with minimal spillage.

 

Housing & Liner: Completely enclosed dust-tight casing fitted with replaceable bottom and side UHMW-PE wear plates.

 

Chain Assembly: Forged alloy steel or bent-plate roller chains heat-treated for superior tensile strength and resistance to elongation.

 

Self-Cleaning Tail: Curved or contoured tail design minimizes grain buildup and stagnant material pockets.

 

Discharge Options: Single or multiple intermediate discharge gates (manual, pneumatic, or motorized).

 

Primary Application: Intake lines, cross-silo distribution, and sub-silo reclaiming routes.

Chain Conveyor
Scraper Conveyor

Belt Conveyors (High-Capacity Long-Distance Handling)

The optimal solution for continuous, low-damage transfer over extended distances.

 

Structure: Rigid structural truss or channel frame with optional modular weather covers.

 

Belt & Tracking: Multi-ply rubber belts supported by precision-machined idler sets and heavy-duty adjustable tracking mechanisms.

 

Safety & Control: Dual-side emergency pull-cord switches, belt-sway sensors, speed monitors, and primary/secondary belt scrapers.

 

Primary Application: Port intake systems, cross-facility storage distribution, and high-capacity silo loading.

Screw & Scraper Conveyors (Controlled Feeding & Discharge)

Compact and reliable solutions for dosing, short-distance transfer, and silo reclaiming.

 

Configuration: Tubular or U-trough casing options featuring continuous flighting with variable pitch or tapered flights.

 

Drive & Sealing: Heavy-duty helical gear drives paired with gland packing or air-purged shaft seals to prevent product leakage.

 

Primary Application: Silo bottom discharge, micro-ingredient batch feeding, and space-restricted machinery links.

System Integration

 

A complete grain handling project relies on balanced capacities across every phase of operation:

 

Step 1: Truck / Rail Receiving Intake.

 

Step 2: High-Speed Intake Chain / Belt Conveyor.

 

Step 3: Vertical Bucket Elevator.

 

Step 4: Top Silo Distribution Chain Conveyor.

 

Step 5: Grain Storage Silo Complex.

 

Step 6: Sub-Silo Reclaiming Screw / Chain Conveyor.

 

Step 7: Processing, Packaging, or Outloading Terminal.

 

By coordinating electrical controls, drop clearances, and volumetric throughput across this sequence, OUMU ensures operational stability across your entire plant.

FAQ

 

Q: How does OUMU ensure conveyor throughput matches our storage silo system?

A: We evaluate the total volumetric flow path from intake to outloading. Our engineering team calculates bulk density, cross-sectional filling percentages, linear belt/chain speeds, and discharge friction factors to ensure no single transfer point restricts your overall facility output.

Q: Can we specify international brands for motors, gearboxes, and bearings?

A: Yes. While our standard equipment utilizes reliable heavy-duty components, we frequently manufacture conveying lines integrated with client-specified brands such as SEW-Eurodrive, Siemens, Nord, SKF, and NSK for global standardization.

Q: What wear-protection options are available for abrasive materials or high-volume facilities?

A: We offer replaceable UHMW-PE liners, hardened steel wear plates, and ceramic-lined transition chutes in high-wear regions (such as elevator head hoods, chain conveyor bottoms, and transfer drop hoppers) to extend operational cycles between overhauls.

Q: Do you provide custom layout engineering and international installation support?

A: Yes. OUMU provides 2D general arrangement drawings, 3D BIM/CAD layout integration with silo structures, and remote or on-site engineering installation guidance for international EPC grain projects.
