How Myande’s Cantilever Cone-Bottom Reclaimer is Transforming Material Handling

In modern industrial production, cone-bottom silo plays a crucial role in storing bulk materials like grains, feed, and chemical raw materials, ensuring smooth and efficient turnover. However, materials like soybean meal, rapeseed meal, or bran with poor flowability often face caking and bridging problems, which can slow down discharge and even create safety risks. By addressing this common challenge, Myande Group has leveraged over a decade of experience in designing and manufacturing storage and logistics equipment to develop its own cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer. This innovative solution brings a fresh wave of efficiency to vertical silo material handling, shaping the future of smarter, safer, and more effective storage operations.

01 | Solving the Cone-Bottom Silo Challenge: Redefining Bulk Material Discharge Efficiency

The cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer is specifically designed for cone-bottom silo, providing an efficient material handling solution. Its core design combines a cantilever structure, screw conveyor, and hydraulic drive, using a mix of rotational and orbital motion to enable continuous discharge. This allows it to break up material arching, improve efficiency, and ensure safe, reliable operation.

Based on operation issues faced by reclaimers worldwide, Myande has renovation its cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer. Traditional reclaimers often rely on electric motors, which can pose explosion risks in dusty environments. Additionally, the complex supporting structures are easily cause to material blockages, leading to higher maintenance costs.

To avoid all these issues, Myande adopts a fully hydraulic drive system as its core solution, eliminating electrical components and removing the risk of sparks at the source. Its unique cantilever design allows the screw shaft to rotate freely within the cone-bottom silo, while the innovative combination of orbital and rotational motion ensures smooth discharge and protects the equipment itself. The result is a highly efficient, low-maintenance system that meets international standards in reliability, safety, and smart operation.

02 | Case Study: High-Efficiency Discharge at a Large Feed Processing Facility

“Manual silo cleaning used to take an entire day and came with significant safety risks. With Myande’s equipment, both discharge efficiency and operational safety have improved dramatically.” 

At a large domestic feed processing enterprise, Myande’s cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer was installed in a cone-bottom silo with a diameter of 12 meters. Following commissioning, the system achieved a single-unit handling capacity of up to 150 cubic meters per hour. The reclaimer operates in a fully automated mode, requiring no manual intervention throughout the discharge process. It integrates smoothly with downstream conveying equipment, ensuring stable material flow and continuous operation. In practice, the system has delivered a discharge efficiency exceeding 95%, significantly improving both operational efficiency and site safety.

03 | Cross-Industry Impact: Creating a Safer and More Efficient Material Handling Ecosystem

The cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer was originally developed to solve flowability challenges in vertical silos. With a deep understanding of material handling requirements across different industries, Myande not only delivers a highly efficient and reliable piece of equipment, but a versatile solution designed to perform across multiple industries and operating scenarios.

Powered by its robust performance and precise adaptation to industry-specific operating conditions, Myande’s cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer is well suited for handling low-flow or semi-flow materials such as soybean meal, rapeseed meal, sunflower seed meal, cottonseed meal, bran, and tobacco leaves. It significantly improves the level of mechanization in silo discharge operations, reduces labor intensity, and helps lower overall production costs.

To date, Myande’s cantilever cone-bottom reclaimer has been widely adopted across grain storage, feed processing, chemical raw material storage, and the biomass energy sector, offering companies a new and effective path to cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

At the same time, as a nationally recognized Manufacturing Single Champion, Myande understands that the reliability of industrial equipment depends on both manufacturing excellence and comprehensive service support. Backed by its intelligent manufacturing base, the company utilizes high-precision CNC machining and advanced laser cutting processes to ensure consistent performance and quality across its equipment, including reclaimers.

On the service side, Myande takes a turnkey project approach, providing end-to-end support throughout the entire project lifecycle—from planning and design to manufacturing, installation, and commissioning. This is complemented by operator training, as well as ongoing technical support and maintenance services, ensuring long-term reliability and value for customers.

From the challenges of cone-bottom silo discharge to building a safer and more efficient material handling ecosystem, Myande continues to drive the bulk material storage and transfer industry forward through ongoing technological innovation. Looking ahead, the company remains committed to continuous improvement, providing high-quality, efficient material handling solutions for industries including grain storage, feed processing, chemical raw material storage, and biomass energy.
