Rail Grain Intake Systems
High-capacity grain receiving plants for rail wagon intake at export terminals and bulk handlers.
High-capacity grain receiving plants for rail wagon intake. Includes wagon positioners where required, below-rail or above-rail hoppers, grid sections, pre-cleaners, and high-capacity conveying to storage.
High-capacity intake system: below-grade receiving hopper with grizzly grid feeding a chain conveyor and bucket elevator to silo storage
01 / 04Overview
Rail grain intake systems operate at higher throughput rates than truck intake and must be designed to handle the unloading of multiple wagons per train set without interruption. Facet Engineering designs rail intake plants including the below-rail hopper or above-rail tippler, grizzly grid sections, pre-cleaning to protect downstream equipment, high-capacity bucket elevators, and routing conveyors to flat or silo storage. Wagon positioners are included where manual wagon spotting is not practical. The plant is interlocked to prevent conveying overload and to maintain safe operation throughout the unloading cycle. Rail intake rates are typically several hundred to several thousand tonnes per hour depending on the facility.
