Self-cleaning boot: why has it become important? 🌾
This is directly related to the development of the grain processing industry in Ukraine. The effect is especially noticeable at feed mills, food-processing and seed production facilities, where line capacity is relatively low (10–50 tph), crops are frequently changed, and product cleanliness requirements are high.
One of the main problems of conventional bucket elevators remains the so-called “dead zone” in the boot section. Residual grain, dust, and impurities accumulate in the lower part. All of this requires periodic cleaning, which in turn leads to downtime of the conveying process line.
The ZEO-BE self-cleaning bucket elevator solves this problem through its design. The boot geometry is engineered so that the buckets remove almost all product from the lower section of the elevator during operation. ⚙️
A bucket elevator of this design with a capacity of 20 tph has been successfully installed and is operating at YEDNIST’ GROUP (“Inter-Yednist Holding”).
As a result, the facility receives:
✔️ minimal product residues;
✔️ faster switching between crops;
✔️ lower risk of dust accumulation;
✔️ more stable drive load.
At the same time, a standard boot remains a rational solution for grain elevators, grain storage facilities, and grain terminals due to its ability to handle capacities of up to 1500 tph.
