Intake Pits
Intake pits play a crucial role in receiving grain from trucks, hopper wagons, and other transport vehicles. These intake pits typically consist of a bunker and an upper horizontal grid, with a receiving conveyor located beneath the hopper. The conveyor transports the grain from the bunker to the designated location for further processing. With the increasing capacities of modern combine harvesters and the use of larger trailers and lorries, it is essential to have a fast and efficient intake system to prevent bottlenecks at farms or commercial plants. A well-designed and optimized intake system for raw materials can significantly reduce delays, saving valuable time and operational costs, while ensuring a smooth flow of the entire processing line.
