Silo Discharge & Truck Loading System for 500k-Ton North China Mega Grain & Soybean Import Hub

ملف العميل: A Vital Import Bulk Grain Logistics Hub in North China

The Jurong Grain Base Project under Shandong Port Group, China’s largest soybean import hub with a total investment of 1.44 billion RMB, required an efficient silo discharge and automated truck loading system for its 500,000-ton silo cluster. The project comprises 41 flat-bottom silos and 2 day bins, with a total storage capacity of 500,000 tonnes. It achieves an annual bulk grain throughput of up to 6.89 million tonnes (4,000 t/h intake capacity, 800 t/h discharge capacity). Serving the critical mission of efficiently distributing imported bulk grains such as soybeans to inland regions, it acts as a strategic hub safeguarding the stability of the regional grain supply chain.

الأهداف والتحديات: Rapid Truck Loading & Heavy-Duty Operations

With the expansion of its half-million-ton silo cluster, the terminal faced several common industry challenges during bulk grain discharge and dispatch:

• With an outbound requirement of 800 t/h, the terminal needed to streamline discharge from flat-bottom silos directly into trucks, eliminating redundant transfer steps and accelerating highway dispatch.
• Lifting bulk grain to top distribution floors at heights of up to 61.2 meters demanded extreme stability, anti-clogging performance, and mechanical strength from bucket elevators operating continuously under heavy loads.
• Bulk soybeans generate dust and are subject to damage during high-volume transport and transfer. Fully enclosed conveying was essential to meet strict environmental and grain protection standards.

الحل المخصص: Automated Conveying System from Silo Discharge to High Elevation

Matching flat-bottom silo layouts and automated truck loading workflows, جي إس إس delivered a comprehensive conveying solution featuring curved drag conveyors, straight drag conveyors, and high-lift bucket elevators:

• Installed under the 41 flat-bottom silos, these جي إس إس Up-Load Drag Conveyors are paired with discharge hoppers to achieve direct, automated truck loading straight from silo bottoms.
• Handling 500 t/h each, these جي إس إس En-Masse Conveyors manage horizontal transfer and material allocation between silo zones for continuous flow.
• Deploying 1 unit at 500 t/h and 12 units at 800 t/h (lift heights from 36.6 m to 61.2 m), these جي إس إس Bucket Elevators provide reliable high-lift vertical transport with low grain damage.
