Transporting grains like rice, wheat, or corn is often done using bulky, heavy, and costly machines such as conveyor belts or vacuum systems. These setups are suitable for industrial-scale operations but are too large and expensive for small farms or tight spaces. There’s a need for a simpler, portable, and affordable solution for moving grains effectively.
Core Features
This invention introduces a compact grain conveyor with two internal air channels. A motor-powered fan generates strong airflow, which splits into two paths:
- The first channel collects grains from a bucket and pushes them into a feed chamber.
- The second channel mixes grains with high-speed air, sending them through a hose to the final destination.
The device also includes a handle for mobility, a switch with lock for easy operation, and a speed-adjusting knob to control airflow.
Inventive Step – What’s New
Unlike traditional machines that rely solely on vacuum suction or mechanical parts, this design uses a dual-channel air-blast system to both gather and transport grains. By separating the airflow into two strategic paths, it ensures more efficient handling and propulsion of grains—something not seen in current single-channel or mechanical solutions.
Tangible Benefits
- Portability: Easy to carry and move.
- Low Cost: Far cheaper than industrial systems.
- Simplicity: No complex setup or maintenance needed.
- Efficiency: Quickly moves grains with strong airflow without damaging them.
Broader Impact
This invention can transform small-scale farming, especially in remote or resource-limited regions. It offers a sustainable alternative to large machines by using air rather than belts or screws, reducing energy and maintenance demands. Ultimately, it makes grain handling more accessible, cost-effective, and eco-friendly—empowering farmers and reducing food transport barriers globally.
