Customized Grain Distribution Solutions

The efficiency and effectiveness of your grain distribution operation depend on a properly designed facility. LCDM engineers can build innovative yet affordable grain storage solutions and equipment to optimize grain distribution. Our distributors are lined with high-quality materials like ceramic and urethane. A range of inlet sizes and numbers of outlets is available, so we can help you determine the right distributor for your facility.

LCDM’s standard and custom grain distribution products include:

  • Flat back distributors: These distributors are a popular choice, with a variety of size options and number of outlets. Easily maintain and inspect your flat back distributor through its inspection doors.
  • Full round distributors: A full round distributor is ideal for feed mills and grain operations with bins grouped closely together because it includes a 360-degree spread. Choose its size and number of feed outlets.
  • Electric distributor controls: Available for larger farm operations, electric distributors reduce labor and errors by automatically moving the spout to the desired position with up-to-date technology.
  • Manual distributor controls: Choose between pipe and cable control with this economical distributor. Pipes are operated with a lever and wheel, and cable controls include a foot pedal for controlling the openings.
  • Custom grain distributor fabrication: Using state-of-the-art design software, we can create custom grain distributors based on your specifications.

We can engineer a tailored grain distribution system to effectively process and handle your facility’s grain, optimizing its flow. Even standard distribution systems can be made to best fit your needs. Solutions are not one-size-fits-all, so you can trust LCDM to provide the personalized solutions for grain storage and distribution you need to succeed.

Grain Handling and Conveying Systems

Handling and conveying systems for grain distribution effectively move grain to other locations, helping to reduce waste, cut costs and increase safety. These systems are often used in agriculture, pet food and bulk product manufacturing. LCDM’s signature handling and conveying products include:

  • Cushion boxes: Our patented, heavy-duty DBAR adjustable cushion boxes reduce grain damage by more than 50% for full and partial flow configurations.
  • Full flow valves: Valves control the grain flow, and LCDM valves are designed to handle a given grain capacity without restricting the flow rate. The rotating “pan” advances until the valve closes.
  • Grain bin slide gates: Placed at conveyors, below hoppers and shut-off locations, durable slide gates control the release of grains and prevent contamination.

When the equipment rusts or develops a hole, try the durable and flexible Patchworx metal repair patches. These small, medium and large patches harden like steel once they are exposed to UV light. Another trusted option is a magnetic repair patch, which is reusable and simple to apply. Just place and bend the tough magnetic patch over the surface. No adhesives or extra tools are necessary.

Grain Storage Solutions

We support better quality through advanced systems and reliable storage. Proper grain storage is important to preserve the grain’s quality. Keeping the grain in peak condition helps:

  • Maintain quality: Using the right equipment and implementing appropriate storage practices can consistently keep your grain in peak condition, ensuring it meets industry standards and is safe for animal or human consumption.
  • Reduce loss: Avoid product and financial losses by implementing grain storage solutions that keep pests out of your grain supply and maintain optimal moisture and temperature levels to avoid spoilage or mold growth.
  • Maximize production: Storing grain allows you to maximize market opportunities, such as saving inventory to sell during shortages and selling grain when market prices are favorable.

LCDM provides reliable solutions for grain storage for farms and mills, like robust silo level monitoring systems and tightly sealed flow valves. See how our custom grain storage solutions can improve your product.

Grain Quality Management

Improve grain quality and reduce losses through advanced handling systems. The most significant grain maintenance problems are pest damage, mold and fungus, overdrying, and breakage. To prevent these issues:

  • Perform weekly inspections.
  • Invest in quality handling equipment.
  • Store products at optimal temperature.
  • Keep moisture levels under control.
  • Run aeration cycles through the grain.

Pairing high-quality grain equipment with proper grain handling procedures can help maintain grain quality in distribution.
