GRAIN DRESSER SYSTEM FOR WORLD CLASS MALTINGS

Overview:
To design, manufacture, manage and install a grain cleaner system, handling malting barley and wheat at 50 TPH, and to incorporate this into an existing system.

Problem:
The client was looking to protect their business by installing a new grain dresser system that would not only ensure business continuity, but also future-proof with increased capacity. The problems that faced Tripp Batt were installing a new system without causing any downtime.

Solution:
The design team set out to design a system in parallel with the existing dresser. The advantage being that only a very short shutdown was required to integrate the two systems, leaving the existing cleaner in place allows the client to continue running even during maintenance of the new. Providing the client with standby and duty arrangements ensures business continuity at all times.

MALT DUST TRANSFER SYSTEM

Overview:
To design, manufacture, manage and install a grain suction blower system, handling malted barley and wheat at 5tph.

Problem:
The client has 4No kiln with meshed flooring to allow air flow, and the problem facing the client was the malt dust and chaff passing through the meshed flooring and blinding the heat exchanger below. A system was required for cleaning the basement of the kilns and transferring this by-product into an existing system for processing.

Solution:
The solution was to install a suction blower with fixed pipe-work, cyclone and rotary valve. The client clears the dust and chaff using the suction head attachment, and the blower transfers the product at high level along the new fixed pipe-work and to the cyclone.
