I have a very tall building, I will be sharing a grain handling room with a distillery. I'm putting in a 10bbl brewhouse, distillery size is comparable. The distillery doesn't need a crush different that what I'm doing for the brewery. I utilized some drawings from the vibrascrew website to build what I'd like to purchase. The concept is to utilize gravity and minimize moving parts for the grain handling system. Looking at the drawing, the frame in light blue would be hold the manual bag dumping hopper (with door drawn in the open position). If we're loading 50# bags of malt, the operator would adjust the pour so they don't overflow the hopper which feeds the mill, the mill feeds the hopper that would feed cracked grain either to the distillery or the brewery. The second part of my design is the bulk bag system (the frame is in black). If I can't fund this part of the design right now, it's an option that I'd like to add when funds warrant (ie it would modular, I can add it on top of the blue frame at a later date). There would be a hoist to pick the super sac's, and unload as shown. I believe I'll need a pneumatic, manual control knife gate valve to control the flow of grain into the mill when using super sacs.
Has anyone done something similar? I do have experience with material handling from my former career, but I was dealing with powders and not grains. I could be missing something with my design, but it seems like a pretty good idea?
I'm working with vibrascrew to work a two roll mill into their existing design (they basically have the system drawn minus the mill). I'm all ears from anyone willing to provide feedback on my design.
Any vendors willing to quote please PM me, anyone with a system similar I'd love to hear your feedback.
