Receiving Pit Grate & Bunker
Receiving pit grates and bunkers safely receive grain unloaded from trucks or trailers and feed it steadily to the conveying line. The durable grate protects the work area while the bunker balances product flow. The system is engineered according to vehicle traffic, unloading capacity, and conveyor type.
What Are Receiving Pit Grates and Bunkers and How Do They Work?
Grain unloaded from vehicles first falls through a durable grate into the receiving pit. The bunker structure collects product and feeds the conveyor or screw below in a steady manner. This transfers sudden product loads to the conveying line in a controlled way.
