Truck Receiving Pit With Integrated Dust System
As a second phase of a facility expansion project, ESI added a new 30' x 20' x 14' deep truck receiving pit with a fully-integrated 20,000 CFM dust system and enclosed steel building.The new pit includes six dust pickups, a ladder gate including 4 openings along with an Andco actuator allowing for percentage control of the inbound grain flow. The hopper feeds a pair of 20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving drag conveyors that transfer grain to a 20,000 BPH Hawthorne-Seving receiving leg (constructed during phase I of the project).

Taking A Grain Facility To The Next Level
This aging grain terminal facility had untapped potential for this Midwest cooperative. ESI was hired to handle the series of expansion projects where (3) 90' diameter and (2) 105' diameter steel bins were added along with a new 30,000 BPH truck receiving/grain transfer system, dust system, and upgraded 30,000 BPH Hi-Roller transfer conveyors.

Dust System at Grain Terminal Facility
For over four decades, we have supplied and installed hundreds of dust systems for grain and commercial facilities across the country. This grain dust system includes a 55,000 CFM dust filter at a grain terminal facility.

Large Truck Receiving Pit & Dust Filter
This grain operation handles high volumes of grain and multiple commodities. To accommodate both requirements, ESI designed and installed a 12' x 24' grain receiving pit with an oversized hopper that holds approximately 1,000 bushels of grain. With the large grate and hopper a truck can dump its entire load into the pit without running the reclaim conveyor. This allows the grain elevator to switch between commodities without holding up the truck line.
Another critical requirement was the need for dust collection. This projects includes baffles below the pit grate and a Donaldson dust filter with dust pickups mounted to the hopper's sidewall. To prevent grain from being sucked into the dust pickups, ESI installed perforated deflector plates covering the dust openings.
The entire receiving pit is covered with a Golden Giant building and includes a separate control room.

Dust Collection Hood For 80k Rail Spout
Including dust collection on rail loadout spouts is a critical consideration for many facilities. This photo shows a dust hood component prior to installation on an ESI-fabricated 80,000 BPH rail loadout spout installed at a major grain terminal facility. It includes multiple openings for dust pick-up spouts.
