Chain Conveyor
The chain conveyor is a reliable means of transport for the continuous transfer, horizontal or inclined, of granulated and powdered products. Chain conveyors are suitable for the transport of high capacities over long distances. It can be designed with intermediate outlets and slides. They are usually electro pneumatic driven, but manually controlled designs can be done.
Dalein Agriplan's chain conveyers are designed for dust proof transport of raw materials and finished products. Our chain conveyors are manufactured in a modular system and can be supplied in the exact required length. We systematically strive for simplicity and so Dalein has designed 3 types of chain conveyors that can provide various capacities of feed to suit the client’s needs:
• No waste: A design unique to Dalein Agriplan. The product is pulled from the intake to the outlet along the bottom of the chain as a gliding mass. If not discharged properly, products get rotated back to the beginning of the cycle so it can be discarded through the sluice at the position required. This cycle is continuous, which ensures zero product wastage.
• Transfer: A chain transports the product horizontally in one direction from the inlet to the outlet.
• Incline: The angle chain conveyor is suitable for work at different angles not exceeding 52° and often takes a product from one machine to the next at different levels.

Weigh Bridge
Dalein Agriplan’s weigh bridge is used to weigh an entire truck or vehicle and their contents. Due to the large scale, it’s usually mounted permanently on a concrete foundation. The load carried is calculated by measuring the weight of the empty vehicle and then with its contents. The weigh bridge is usually located under the overhead bridge to simplify the process.
-
Batching Scale
Our batching scale provides a wide variety of scales batching between 500kg – 2tons. Our unique designed allows for free flowing of difficult products like Lucerne, citrus pulp, silage etc.
-
Bunkers
Storage of raw materials requires the utmost care and control at the same time. Many of the world's crops are lost during storage due to the lack of heat and moisture control. No bunker project is too complicated or too simple for Dalein Agriplan – whether the solution applies to large or small bunkers. Open bunkers are ideal for the use of inside batching and holding purposes. For bulk materials, square is the right shape for maximum capacity.
-
Ribbon Mixers
Dalein Agriplan’s Ribbon Mixer has 3 different mixing capacitie:
- 1 ton
- 1.5 ton
- 2 ton
The main benefits of these Ribbon Mixers are that they are cost effective and give a homogeneous mix within 3 to 4 minutes. These mixers are typically used where dry animal feeds are mixed. The Ribbon Mixers have 2 discharging methods:
- Standard double bomb drop doors along the length of the mixer for quick discharging
- A slide gate
-
Bucket Elevator
Bucket elevators are very efficient equipment for the continuous, vertical, dust-free transport of granulated and powdered bulk materials. Dalein Agriplan's bucket elevators are designed to stand on its own with or without support or in a structure. Material is fed into the boot of the elevator via an integrated inlet chute. The elevator belt runs over a pulley both at the top and at the bottom of the elevator. Buckets are attached and fitted at equal spaces to the belt by specialised elevator bolts which have a flat head, thereby minimizing interference with the head and tail end pulleys.
The goal is always to minimise spillage and thereby increase efficiency, while avoiding and designing around potential high-wear areas.
The top pulley is driven while the bottom pulley is fitted with a tensioning device. The base can be fitted with one or two intake chutes.
When an elevator is discharging, both gravity and centrifugal forces play an important role. The design of the inlet and discharge connections has a major effect on the capacity of the elevator. The content and shape of the elevator buckets, the bucket spacing, the belt speed and the pulley diameters also play an important role.
Some of the key design objectives are:
• Optimal performance
• Life span
• Maintainability

Magnet Box
Dalein Agriplan uses magnet boxes, fitted with powerful permanent magnetic plates, to remove metal particles from raw material and animal feed in transport. This decreases the possibility of metal parts ending up in the final product or damaging machinery. These boxes can be used in other food and plastic industries as well. The sizes of the magnet boxes can be custom designed to fit your plant’s needs.

Silo's
Storage of grain and seed products requires the utmost care and control at the same time. Many of the world's crops are lost in storage, due to the uncontrollable development of heat and moisture. Therefore, monitoring and controlling of temperatures are of vital importance in modern grain handling. No silo project is too big or too small for Dalein Agriplan – whether the solution applies to a large or small, square or round silo solution. At Dalein Agriplan we provide 2 types of silos for your convenience:
• Round silos Round silos are suitable for large storage capacities. Dalein Agriplan provides the option of round silos manufactured by our trustworthy suppliers. The capacity of the largest round silo goes up to 4000 tons.
• Square silos Square silos are ideal for the use of inside batching and holding purposes. Square silos can be used in dual row placement, with capacities of 6 - 15 tons. For bulk materials, square is the right shape for maximum capacity. Square silos should be cladded if used outside for the overload bridge out-loading system.

Liquid Dosing Unit
Dalein Agriplan provides liquid additions of water, animal oil and molasses that is added by a volume based flow meter into a mixer, fat coater, lick plant or a conditioner.
-
Pellet Press
Dalein Agriplan's expertise in the pelleting process focuses on creating a pellet that is durable and tough enough to resist breakage during handling. Our pelleting press enables companies to pellet a wide variety of different raw materials. Pellet machines can be fitted with a twin or single conditioner with a recursion time barrel.
The pelleting process begins with a conditioning process where steam is homogeneously mixed with the ingredients at a temperature of up to 75°C. A knife system systematically cuts the pelletized product from the die and the still warm pellets proceed onwards for cooling.
Optimum meal preparation is essential for maximum press capacity. Meal, molasses and steam are mixed in the (conditioning) mixer to form a mixture that can easily be pressed. The entire supply of meal, steam and liquids is controlled by a fully automated PLC system.
-
Overhead Bridge
The overhead bridge is usually located across the weigh bridge, to simplify the process of before and after weighing. The overhead bridge conveys the final product that is ready to be transported. Dalein Agriplan has designed the overhead bridge to transport the final product from inside the plant to outside, with a covered gantry for easy maintenance and to protect the equipment from the weather conditions South Africans may encounter. The dispatch is designed to minimise product waste.
The overhead bridge is a set of bins for the final product, located on the outside of the feed mill. It’s designed so that a feed-tanker can drive underneath the bridge, where the feed is released from the bins into the feed-tanker. A large weigh-scale is also fitted on the ground under the bridge, to weigh the feed-truck.

Auger
Each design is unique in its own form to suit varied situations. Dalein provides a variety of specifically designed augers, for horizontal or inclined transport of bulk goods and materials. Augers are constructed from durable materials and provide an efficient, economical and dependable conveying medium, reflecting the benefits of our sound engineering experience.
Advantages of Dalein Agriplan's well-designed flight conveyers are clean, low energy consumption and dust free operation Augers, with favourable dimensions and a great degree of maintenance-friendliness as an extra touch.
The transport capacity and the variety of products that can be moved with our augers are exceptionally high. Augers can also be used as discharge and capacity control equipment.
The shaft with the scroll moves the product from the intake trough to the outlet on the drive side. The product does not rotate and just moves forward. The drive group consists of an electrical gearbox motor with optimal frequency controller for full control. Equipment and accessories are manufactured both for straight forward conveyors and for complete systems in large turn-key projects.
-
Steam
Adding steam to the production process for animal feeds improves the compressibility (an increase in the press capacity of 20% is no exception) and the condition of the laying mash, among other things. Steam inactivates micro-organisms while the sensory properties (including aroma, taste and texture) of the product mix are retained.
For the production of high-quality (dry) steam – the quality is determined by pressure and temperature – PTN supplies steam lines and steam injection systems on mixers, presses, expanders and compactors.
Characteristic of the injection systems is the volume-increasing drainage vessel after the reducing unit in which a steam flash, and thus superheated dry steam, is generated.
The compact systems are available with a capacity of 150 - 2.500 kg/hr, are easy to install and use relatively little energy.
