We Know Feed & Grain.
Laidig understands the challenges involved within the Feed & Grain industry, and works diligently with feed manufacturers and grain facilities to develop innovative ways of solving problems, including:
- Solutions to prevent bin hang-up.
- Providing reliable, automated meal reclaim.
- Creating a first-in-first-out inventory control for traceability (and feed quality).
- Increased operational flexibility through large-capacity storage of meals.
- Reduced need for manpower.
- Improved operator safety.
- Helping to control environmental issues.
Laidig’s designs are a critical component to the success of modern-day feed mills.
Laidig offers bulk storage silo and reclaim systems for cone-bottom and flat-bottom silos, while also offering automated cleanout of whole grains with zero bin entry. Each one is customized specifically to meet the needs and requirements of the materials they are handling.
Known throughout the Feed and Grain industry for our rugged, high-quality reclaim systems, Laidig excels in innovative, effective designs customized to store and reclaim materials with special handling requirements. Such materials include: soybean meal, canola meal, dried distillers grains (DDGS), wheat bran, rice bran, other grain meals, and whole grains.
Laidig has designed and engineered a family of silo bottom reclaim systems which offer proven performance and reliability for flat-bottom applications ranging between 2–45 meters in diameter, and cone-bottom applications ranging between 2–13 meters in diameter.
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 solutions for the Feed and Grain industries here:
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.
CleanSweep
The CleanSweep system is ideal for high-volume storage and semi-free-flowing materials. The CleanSweep system combines multiple draw downs in the floor with a wheel-supported auger. It offers a fully-automated clean out solution without the need for personnel entry. The unique reversing capability offers flexibility.
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.
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.
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.
