Laidig is an industry leader in bulk storage and reclaim, specializing in systems for extracting hard-to-flow raw materials from conical and/or flat-bottom silos.

When materials stored in silos do not discharge properly, two types of actions are typically taken:

• For large silos: Workers enter to manually unload the material with shovels.
• For smaller silos: The walls or cone of the silo are struck to dislodge the material and enable flow.

In either case, these methods have significant drawbacks. In the first, there is a severe risk to human life, and in the second, long-term damage occurs due to dents in the silos. At Clivio Solutions, we offer the ideal solution to prevent workers from entering silos or striking their walls.

Key advantages of Laidig extractor systems include:

• Safety: Eliminates life-threatening risks for operators.
• Sanitation: Prevents rat holing and material buildup.
• Traceability: Ensures FIFO (First In, First Out) system compliance.
• Capacity: Enables complete filling and emptying of silos, maximizing their capacity.

In the following video, we can see a comparison between silos that do not have a Laidig system and silos that do. This clearly demonstrates the significant advantages mentioned earlier.

If you have a conical silo, the ideal equipment for your application is the Cone Bottom model (available in electric and hydraulic versions, depending on your requirements).

If you are looking for a solution for flat-bottom silos and low-flow materials, such as animal-derived flours or soy paste, the suitable reclaimer models are the X-tractor, Cantilever, or Track-Drive. For these applications, the silo can operate fully loaded, and discharge will be efficient and safe thanks to the reclaimer, which keeps the bottom 100% active during the unloading process.

If you need to sweep the bottom once the product stops flowing freely by gravity, the suitable model is the Clean Sweep. This silo bottom sweeper activates only for the final product discharge and cleaning, making it a very common solution for grains, legumes, or free-flowing products.

No matter the discharge issue with your silo, together with Laidig, we have the ideal solution to protect your company's team and prevent risks.

The need for flow measurement and control is essential in many stages of the process. 

The JesIntake range of scales is specially designed for inline weighing of bulk materials such as powders, granules, grains, and more, focusing on operational reliability and high precision. The equipment series includes a standard range of 13 sizes, with capacities from 12 m³/h to 2500 m³/h, making them suitable for handling high flow rates while maintaining high accuracy.

The JesBag system from Jesma offers an excellent solution for filling big bags (maxi bags), automating the process. It includes a complete unit for the weighing and filling of big bags: pallet storage, automatic roller conveyor, filling station with integrated weighing function, and a roller conveyor with space for filled big bags.

Operating principle:

• The pallet is released from the pallet storage and stops at the filling station.
• The operator places the ropes or neck of the big bag into the pneumatic devices, and the big bag is fixed with a clamp to the filling spout.
• Once the bag is properly placed, the filling sequence starts by pressing "start" on the operation panel.
• The big bag is lifted off the pallet and inflated with air before being filled with product.
• Once the bag is nearly full, it is lowered back onto the pallet, and the vibrator is activated to remove air from the material. The bag is then lifted again, and filling continues until the required weight is achieved.
• After the weighing sequence is completed, the bag clamp is released, and the big bag remains on the pallet.
• The roller conveyor can be activated to move the big bag forward in the process, and the operator is ready for a new cycle.

Depending on the level of automation you seek, there are different solutions available with various optional features and different weighing systems, depending on space and requirements.

The Stretch Hood pallet wrapping system provides maximum load stability and protection. This innovative technology applies a tubular film that stretches and conforms to the shape of the load, offering stability and protection.

The Stretch Hood offers greater savings on consumables, faster wrapping speeds, complete load protection, transport safety, and a superior-quality finish that adds value to your palletized product.

Optional accessories include:

• Vertical corner protector applicator system
• High productivity kit (quick welding and buffer system)
• Motorized unwinder
• Load edge rounding system

The wrapping process becomes highly efficient and fast, thanks to the system's operational design. Additionally, you can include your brand or logo on the film, making it much more appealing and improving your brand positioning in both local and international markets.

Key advantages of the system:

• Savings on packaging costs: The Stretch Hood system allows for up to 50% savings on film and energy consumables. It uses only the exact amount of stretch film needed to protect the load, reducing waste and excess film. Additionally, since it does not require heat combustion or gas installations, it also lowers energy consumption.
• Total product protection: Stretch Hood is the only system that provides complete protection and waterproofing for the product. This total protection is achieved through the wrapping process and the properties of the Stretch Hood film, a multilayer film made of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) with barrier properties against moisture, dust, and UV rays.
• High packaging speed: Stretch Hood is the fastest packaging system, capable of wrapping up to 120 pallets per hour, compared to systems like shrink wrap, which wrap 60 pallets per hour. This is a decisive argument for many companies that choose to further automate and optimize their end-of-line production.
• Additional stability and support: With Stretch Hood wrapping, the load remains secure and stable to prevent shifts, falls, or damage during transport. The Stretch Hood film is stretchable and, with the combination of vertical and horizontal contraction forces during wrapping, adapts to and secures the load, offering additional stability to palletizing.

The JesLoader system from Jesma is ideal for loading trucks without the need for the vehicle to move underneath the silos. The system is designed to load a predetermined amount of bulk material into a truck from multiple silos.

The JesLoader is mounted on rails so that it can move from one silo to another, loading the required amount of material from each silo, thus eliminating the need to install a scale under each silo or making repeated trips to a bridge scale after filling each truck.

Operating principle:

• Once the truck is correctly positioned, the driver enters the order number into the control system. This may be part of the general control system or a Jesma handling solution.
• The JesLoader will position itself correctly beneath the preprogrammed silo by navigating through an incremental encoder, and when the JesLoader is in place, the correct amount of product will be released onto the scale as ordered through the system.
• Once filling is complete, the JesLoader is guided to the correct position over the truck's intake using a remote control unit. The product will be released into the truck when the operator accepts it.
