Loading/Unloading Conveyors are used in silos and storage bunkers containing solids in the size of wood chips. What makes these machines special is that they fill silos as well as empty them. Conventional systems are generally applicable for only one function. The loading/unloading conveyor consists of a distribution/discharge conveyor that can be moved up and down on steel wire ropes through rope guides by means of lifting device. This provides the constant filling and emptying.
The required steps are fully automatically initiated and processed by PLC (programmable logic control) through various programs. It is also possible to fill and empty a box simultaneously.
