BDC ’ s grain handling and cleaning technology sets the standard at new Buscall Grain Handling Facility
Skandia conveying and elevator systems together with a Denis Reciprocating Screen grain pre-cleaner / separator supplied by BDC Systems are playing a vital role in the new E Buscall & Partners grain storage and drying facility at Low Farm in Carbrooke , Norfolk .
T o manage increased grain intake as efficiently as possible , Manager Philip Fincham needed to replace and modernise the family farm ' s existing storage and drying arrangements . The site ' s existing Continuous Flow Grain Drier was relocated inside a new purpose built facility , serviced by a new intake pit and completed with new conveying and a pre-cleaning plant .
“ We know that equipment supplied by BDC Systems is of the highest quality ”
Marrison Agriculture had for many years provided the customer with all its fixed equipment and for this modernisation project wanted to ensure that once again the most suitable solution was selected . With this in mind , project manager David Rix turned to trusted supplier BDC Systems . “ We know that equipment supplied by BDC Systems is of the highest quality , assembles easily on site and generally performs over and above its stated capacity . Their range is vast and always supported by superb service .”
The new fully galvanised , below ground , grain intake hopper facilitates fast and easy unloading . This serves a new 80tph Skandia heavy duty I-Line KTIG 30 / 40 Trench Intake Conveyor which in turn feeds into a Skandia heavy duty I-Line SEI 50 / 18 80tph belt and bucket elevator . From here route selection choices allow pre-cleaning , drying , fine cleaning or grain into store , as required .
A further SEI 50 / 18 Elevator and a range of Curved , Horizontal and Inclined Skandia I-Line 80tph conveyors transport the grain to store . ” Skandia is a world leader in Grain Handling technology and its semi-industrial specification is ideal for larger farm projects of this type ,” says David Rix .
In addition a Denis NSD 2 50tph Reciprocating Sieve cleaner was installed to meet the requirement for versatile fast precleaning and precision screen cleaning for any combinable crop produced at Low Farm .
