Laidig designs and builds totally automated reclaim systems for extreme-duty applications.
Our systems provide higher delivery rates and greater storage capacity for materials with poor flow characteristics, such as powders, chemicals, and other bulk solids. Some examples of these materials include sugar and trona.
Laidig offers a complete line of Cone-Bottom, Cantilever, and Track-Drive Model reclaim systems that combat bridging and rat-holing problems that are associated with abrasive, sticky, fibrous, or hard-to-handle materials.
Consistent exposure to rugged and abrasive materials can lead to premature wear and the reduction in the life expectancy of critical Laidig reclaimer components. To prevent this, Laidig has done extensive research and development to provide the very best abrasion resistance options specifically to ensure your equipment will hold up even in the harshest of conditions. These Laidig options include: hardened flight, carburized auger knives and blades, and a total hard-facing of the auger flighting and tube.
Laidig Reclaim Systems help create mass flow by enabling near-total cleanout, while maintaining a first-in-first-out (FIFO) inventory control. These systems can be installed into new silos or retrofitted into existing structures, and are customized to handle a wide variety of materials, including: powders, chemicals, meals, wood residues, and many other bulk materials.
For the ease of maintenance and for the safety of all on-site personnel, all Laidig reclaimer drive systems are located external to the stored material.
Which System is Right for You?
There are several different systems we can custom-design for you depending on the nuances of your material and storage specifications. Learn about our unique systems for the Powder & Bulk Solids industries here:
Cone-Bottom
Our Cone-Bottom systems provide fully automated reclaim of materials with moderate-to-poor flow characteristics. It offers unique access to all serviceable equipment, allowing for zero-entry maintenance even in a full silo. Systems can be designed for 30, 40, 45, and 60-degree hoppers.
Cantilever
The Cantilever storage and reclaim systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of material applications in flat-bottom vertical storage structures. Laidig’s Cantilevers are either hydraulically or electrically driven and may be designed with single or dual augers, depending upon the application.
Track-Drive
The heavy-duty Track-Drive reclaim systems are designed for automated, continuous operation under the most challenging conditions. When higher-volume delivery is required, or when handling materials with poor flow characteristics, track-driven reclaim systems are often the optimal solution.
DOMinator
The unique design of the DOMinator extends the diameters of Track-Drive systems beyond what was previously possible, providing automated reclamation of hard-to-handle materials in the most challenging environments. This system shields the track-advance drive components from the material in a perimeter access area.
