Applications

Argex grains are delivered on the yard by means of a tanker or a tipper truck. A hose is attached to the tanker to blow the grains directly to the location where they are to be used, this with a capacity of approximately 30m³/hour.

Hose length: 50 m standard. Upon request the hose can be extended to a length of 90m or longer. The grains can also be supplied in bags or big bags.
