Collecting and storing

Bucket elevators are used for the vertical transportation of bulk materials into silos. Depending on their width, the bucket capacity and the height of the conveyor line, these elevators require high drive power.

Cleaning
and sorting

One key processing step in agricultural logistics is cleaning and sorting. This is where foreign particles are removed and the bulk material is cleaned. Rotary gate valves are used to remove the silo pressure from the material and ease the load on downstream discharge systems.

Bulk
material handling

Rotary gate valves are also used for volume-controlled tasks or feeding the bulk material into mixing and processing procedures.

In the case of flammable bulk materials, the rotary gate valve can be used as fire protection.

Drying

Drying
using fans

To safeguard the quality of the grain in storage for as long as necessary until further processing, it must be dried appropriately, as well as being cleaned and sorted. This drying occurs with the help of stationary and also mobile drying systems.

Port handling and
final processing

In export ports, the bulk material is stored temporarily in silos. The material is discharged for loading onto freighters using belt or chain conveyors. When bulk material is transported in “big bags”, cranes are used.

Explosion Protection

Explosive mixtures of dust and air can form when grain is being transported, stored or processed. Depending on the substances involved and how fine the dust is, between 60 and 2000 grams of dust per cubic meter of air can be enough to produce a dust explosion when a suitable ignition source is present. These ignition sources can also include conventional electrical drive technology. To ensure no sparks are generated that could trigger an explosion, we consistently use explosion-proof drives in systems that are operated in these high-risk conditions. Our explosion-proof gearmotors satisfy the requirements set out in EU Directive 2014/34/EU (ATEX, formerly Directive 94/9/EC). They comply with the IEC/IECEx and HazLoc-Na® standards, too, which makes it much easier to use our drive technology worldwide. We also offer degree of protection IP65/66, surface protection OS1 to OS4 and surface protection as an XCO® drive package.

Join us at GEAPS Exchange 2024!

FEB. 24-27 | KANSAS CITY, MO

Going to be at GEAPS Exchange this year in Kansas City, MO? Be sure to stop by and talk with an SEW-EURODRIVE expert at booth# 2028. We will be showcasing our wide selection of drive solutions for the agricultural industry.

Why SEW-EURODRIVE?

If you ask us, there are a number of good reasons to trust our company and our drive technology. Find out about the reasons that convince our customers here, and find your own personal "Why SEW-EURODRIVE." 

Availability - always and everywhere

Time is money. Because we are aware of this, you can contact us directly if you have questions, problems and of course in dire emergencies. Whether you are in Buenos Aires or Bruchsal, we will help you get your production back up and running in next to no time. Our 24h hotline is just one aspect of our comprehensive service that vastly reduces downtime. Our service team helps customers quickly and reliably on-site when urgent and complicated situations arise.

Total cost of ownership - keeping an eye on costs

When planning your system, is it important to you to not just be able to see the purchase costs, but rather all aspects related to later use such as energy costs and maintenance of the components concerned? If so, then we are on the same wavelength. Our aim is to develop products and solutions that take total operating costs into consideration. For sustainable, economic and long-lasting operation. If you wish, our employees will be happy to provide you with comprehensive advice.

Services - a rapid response for you

Is quick collection and delivery of drive components important to you? Is it important to you that service employees can offer you support to ensure smooth installation and removal? Do you appreciate having tools that help you in terms of product selection and design and that support you throughout the product life cycle of your system. All of these things are important to us. It is for this reason that we offer our customers services that help them become faster and more efficient.

Quality - for your satisfaction

We place high standards on ourselves to always deliver the best quality. We only market and release products and services that meet our demands. But that is not enough. Our standards undergo regular monitoring. Annually. Independently. Certified.

Expertise - for your success

As our history shows, we can look back at over 90 years of experience in drive technology during which we gathered a vast amount of knowledge. However, we are not going to rest on our laurels. We train our employees, gather additional knowledge through day-to-day work, broaden our horizons and continuously expand our workforce. Knowledge gained in this way flows into the new and further development of products and solutions as well as into the optimization of procedures. 

Energy efficiency - making environmentally friendly solutions

The need to increase energy efficiency is currently a hot topic. Resources can be conserved by reducing or at least limiting the increase in energy consumption. Industry has an import role to play here, as it accounts for a major share of consumed energy. It is also for our own benefit that we as a company are driving the development of energy-saving solutions. We also offer energy consulting in addition to energy-efficient products.

Sustainability - for safeguarding the future

Companies in the agricultural industry rely on an intact environment for successful and sustainable production. It goes without saying that many factors play a role in this. One of those we can influence, and which also saves you money, is the use of energy-efficient drive technology – whether in normal environmental conditions or in potentially explosive areas. In non-optimized systems, energy costs can account for up to 90% of total life cycle costs.

With our energy-efficient drive solutions, from IE1 to IE4, you can therefore do something for the environment while also saving precious money. We can help you unlock your energy-saving potential and reduce both your energy costs and your direct and indirect CO2 emissions. Our energy-saving concept ensures a comprehensive review and consistent implementation of all the energy-saving factors that come into question. With our energy-saving tools we can help you select and calculate energy-saving drive solutions.

Flexibility - for your growth

Demands on production systems are increasing. Reduced delivery times, increased capacities, cost pressure. Conversion, expansion or restructuring of entire systems is needed quickly. Flexible solutions users and their systems are required in order to meet demands and to enable our customers to keep on growing. We place particular focus on these requirements and offer system solutions aimed to meet the individual requirements of our customers' systems. We support customers in evaluating their requirements, through to the implementation of their solution.

The drive experts at your side - system availability in safe hands

Agricultural logistics is characterized by periods of highly intense peak activity that can't always be planned. Ensure your system can meet these stringent requirements and that it works when you need it, whether during startup, repairs, inspection, maintenance or when retrofitting the latest technologies.
