Laidig is the clear choice for the large-capacity storage and reclaim of hot, processed meals at grain and oilseed processing facilities.
Our vast experience handling difficult materials such as soybean meal, canola meal and DDGS establishes Laidig as the industry leader in large diameter load-out applications. Laidig proudly serves a huge majority of leading oilseed processors worldwide, and has equipment at close to half of all ethanol plants in the United States. Since these materials are usually eventually transfered to feed mills and other facilities, Laidig also has extensive expertise in those storage applications.
Laidig storage and reclaim systems offer reliable storage and reclaim of thousands of tons of processed meal. These systems provide customers with tremendous flexibility and significant load-out rates.
Laidig reclaim systems provide solutions to problems that include:
- First-In, first-out (FIFO) inventory control
- Elimination of bridging and rat-holing
- Controlling product infestation
- Controlling product contamination
- Providing “near-total” cleanout
- Providing “zero entry” for easy service access and operator safety
Each reclaim system is customized specifically to meet the needs and requirements of the product being handled. Laidig offers FULLY AUTOMATED bulk storage and reclaim systems for cone-bottom and flat-bottom silos.

Which System is Right for You?
There are several different systems we can custom-design for you depending on the nuances of your material and storage specifications. Learn about our unique systems for the Grain & Oilseed Processing industry here:
Track-Drive
The heavy-duty Track-Drive reclaim systems are designed for automated, continuous operation under the most challenging conditions. When higher-volume delivery is required, or when handling materials with poor flow characteristics, track-driven reclaim systems are often the optimal solution.
Cantilever
The Cantilever storage and reclaim systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of material applications in flat-bottom vertical storage structures. Laidig’s Cantilevers are either hydraulically or electrically driven and may be designed with single or dual augers, depending upon the application.
Cone-Bottom
Our Cone-Bottom systems provide fully automated reclaim of materials with moderate-to-poor flow characteristics. It offers unique access to all serviceable equipment, allowing for zero-entry maintenance even in a full silo. Systems can be designed for 30, 40, 45, and 60-degree hoppers.
DOMinator
The unique design of the DOMinator extends the diameters of Track-Drive systems beyond what was previously possible, providing automated reclamation of hard-to-handle materials in the most challenging environments. This system shields the track-advance drive components from the material in a perimeter access area.
X-Traktor
Laidig has engineered the X-Traktor from the ground up to provide unparalleled performance and flexibility in the largest-possible diameters for materials with poor flow characteristics. The X-Traktor provides fully-automated delivery at high discharge rates from large-diameter domes or super silos.
