Belt Conveyors
Gentle Handling for Premium Grain Quality
Premium Belt Conveyor Systems
Our belt conveyor systems are specifically engineered for the gentle handling of delicate seeds, specialty grains, and high-value commodities. Unlike traditional auger systems, belt conveyors minimize kernel damage, preserve grain quality, and maintain premium market grades throughout the handling process.
Ideal for seed operations, organic grain handling, and specialty crop processing, our belt conveyors feature food-grade belting, enclosed designs for dust control, and variable speed controls for precise handling. With capacities from 2,000 to 15,000 bushels per hour, we offer solutions for operations of all sizes.
Key Features
- Gentle Handling: Minimal kernel damage preserves grain quality and grade
- Food-Grade Belting: FDA-approved materials for safe grain contact
- Enclosed Design: Dust containment and weather protection
- Variable Speed: Adjustable belt speed for different grain types
- Easy Cleaning: Quick-release covers for thorough sanitation
- Modular Construction: Expandable and customizable configurations
