Silo Equipment

PETKUS Dust Extractors for Intake Pits reduce environmentally harmful dust emission during unloading. Dusty air is aspirated by the fans in the intake pit. A hose filter separates the dust and the cleaned air is recirculated. The bag filter is cleaned with compressed air and the dust is fed back to the intake pit so that a dust collection system is not required.

• Modular system with 2 m grid
• Fan with exhaust silencer
• Large filter areas with a high airflow

PETKUS Square Filters FV are used in grain processing plants for dust removal in exhaust air. The dusty air is aspirated by the fan which can be placed directly on the square filter or separately. The filter separates the dust on its way through the bag filters and the cleaned air is transported outwards. Dust is removed pneumatically from the filter bags. The dust is discharged over a filter hopper with an auger and a secondary rotary valve.

• Bolted housing made of galvanized sheet steel with access door and feet
• High flexibility due to various sizes and modular design
• Filter bags made of polyester needle felt (PE)

PETKUS Sweep Augers are used for simple, quick emptying of residues from flat-bottomed round silos. They can be used to transport granular and free-flowing bulk materials. During the emptying process the sweep auger moves in a circular motion above the silo bottom removing the material cone and transporting the product to the main outlet in the center of the silo. This way, problems such as back logging and stoppage can be avoided.

• Construction in galvanized sheet steel
• Simple assembly and maintenance
• Suitable for each silo size due to the modular design
