Typical application · Agro and grains
Grain receiving and bagging at a cooperative
Configuration used when the cooperative receives a trailer at the hopper, needs to lift the grain to the silo and close bags at the end of the line, all in the same warehouse and without stopping during harvest.
The scenario
What usually holds this operation back
- Unloading concentrated in a few weeks of harvest, with trucks queuing in the yard.
- Lifting the grain to the silo mouth with improvised equipment or by hand.
- Bagging at the end of the line held up by manual sewing and bags breaking in transport.
Typical region for this application: Interior of São Paulo state. Manufactured at Demakine's plant in Limeira/SP, Brazil.
The configuration
What the factory delivers
- 1
Hopper and receiving
Bulk conveyor at the hopper, with width and incline defined by the unloading volume.
- 2
Elevation
Bucket elevator sized for the height of the silo, with buckets chosen for the grain.
- 3
Transfer
Enclosed screw conveyor between areas, to reduce losses and dust in the warehouse.
- 4
Bagging and sewing
Bag conveyor and bag closing machine at the end of the line, with thread suited to the bags.

Why there is no customer figure here
Demakine only publishes customer results with measurement taken in the operation and written authorization to use name and image. Until that exists, the website shows the technical configuration and the simulation, with open assumptions.
- Real technical configuration, with catalog products
- Labeled simulation, with visible assumptions
- No promise of payback, lead time or percentage
