We have nailed our design and manufacturing process of our machines and material handling solutions

We have been established leaders in the Bulk Material Handling industry for nearly 6 decades now, and we are confident to say that we have nailed our design and manufacturing process of our machines and material handling solutions.  

The layout drawing represents only a small fraction of our well known and respected product range. As you can see from the layout drawing, the solution was provided to a Bulk Cereals Storage terminal application with a capacity of 24,000t.

In this instance, the application called for an Intake Pit for deliveries of cereal to be unloaded and conveying equipment to carry the product to the storage silos. Our Chain Conveyors complete with 3m long mechanical Intake Pit make quick work of unloading 60t/h of cereals.

Once the intake process is completed and the product has passed various conditioning stages, it is elevated by Belt & Bucket Elevators. The highest Elevator in this layout is 30m tall and can be accessed via the optional access platforms and ladders.

From the Elevators, the product is carried to the desired silo via Chain Conveyors; interconnected to give an overall length of 72m. The intermediate outlets are fitted with motorised, Inline Slide Valves, allowing the operators to select which silo to fill.

Once discharged from the silos, the two Chain Conveyors at ground level - both interconnected to give an overall length of 66m - convey the cereals to the next stage of the processing on site.

Guttridge’s wide range of equipment includes Belt & Bucket Elevators, Chain Conveyors, Screw Conveyors, Slide Valves, Ducting, and Divertors, designed to handle from 10t/h all the way up to 500t/h of free flow materials.

Depending on customer requirements we are also able to offer our customers' Carrier range products since 2004.
