Project Scope
At first, grain processing required more personnel, and the client was dispatching their final product in a greater number of trucks each day. Trickle Cassava Solutions Industries developed process automation in response to the company’s need to improve operational efficiency. We provided a comprehensive turnkey solution to implement the required upgrade with no disruption to the client’s day-to-day operations. The proposed upgrade project included automation in a variety of areas to boost efficiency. The scope of Trickle Cassava Solutions comprised creating a custom 3D solution design based on the client’s inputs.
Solution
The suggested system included rectangular silos, trough-belt conveyors, Z-type pendulum bucket elevators, worker platforms, ladders, and three input hoppers that handled the product’s three various grades, which were previously held in individual silos, each of which required space.
Our experts devised an efficient storage system that employs hoppers to load each grade of grain onto a feeder conveyor at specified intervals based on the needed blend. Z-conveyors transport the grains to a cleaning vibrator for blending.
The Z-type pendulum bucket elevator eliminates product breakage, and the feeding and discharge mechanism minimizes waste and spillage. The drawers under the Z-type bucket elevator’s lower horizontal segment can be pulled out for easy cleaning. The various grades of grain are combined into homogeneous pellets, which are then fed into a larger hopper. The final material is bagged using an automatic bagging system and loaded onto a double-side truck loader for final delivery to trucks.
Benefits
The return on investments and long-term advantages would justify the necessary investment. As a direct result of Trickle Cassava Solutions‘ solution, the client was able to reduce the amount of labor required to move large goods. Additionally, mechanized handling with automation resulted in lower handling expenses. This also resulted in enhanced efficiency, which led to increased output and thus higher sales volume. The conserved space could be used to expand further in the future.
