The silo unloading belt unloads the product of a single cell and transfers it to one or more conveyor belts connected to a collector.
The drive is controlled by inverter. The belt regulates the product flowing out of the silo and ensures it is emptied completely. The pneumatic valve stops the product flow when the machine is stopped.
• Food safe closed ring PVC belt
• Drive controlled by an inverter to regulate the product flow
• Stainless steel conveyor belt
• Pneumatic product containment valve
• Min. level probe to ensure complete silo emptying
GEA's innovative process marks a milestone in the pretreatment of biofuels such as hydro-treated vegetable oil and sustainable aviation fuel. By eliminating the bleaching process, manufacturers benefit from significant savings potential: over 50% lower operating costs and up to 12% less CO2 emissions.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
