Efficiency and safety in feed transport: wireless control with the REMdevice T7 pushbutton system

In the livestock logistics and industrial feed mill sector, precision and safety are key factors. One of the most important moments in the supply chain is product unloading: an operation that entrusts an advanced mechanical system with the task of transferring tons of feed quickly and into spaces that are not always easy to reach.

The Heart of the System: The Auger Unloading Arm

The key element on board the tankers is the auger unloading arm, known in the industry as “the trunk.” This articulated structure, moved by complex hydraulic systems, contains an Archimedean screw that transports the feed upwards.

The arm must be raised, rotated, and extended until its terminal perfectly matches the silo hatch, often located over 10 meters high. Maneuvering a steel giant of such dimensions requires a perfect view and precise control of every single function.

The Power and Reliability of the REMdevice T7 radio remote control

For this application and to manage the arm’s maneuvers, the REMdevice wireless industrial radio remote control was installed, specifically the T7 model of the T Series.

This pushbutton system radically transforms loading and unloading operations thanks to its technical specifications:

Long Autonomy: The T7 boasts an extraordinary working autonomy, capable of reaching 1000 hours. This guarantees weeks of continuous operation without recharging interruptions, optimizing delivery times.
Technological Heart: The heart of the system is a long-lasting internal lithium-ion battery, designed for maximum longevity. The battery can be easily replaced, ensuring the remote control maintains its efficiency over the years.
Materials and Protection: The T7 pushbutton system is made with a fiberglass-reinforced nylon case, a material that guarantees high mechanical resistance to impacts, stress, and temperatures. Furthermore, the IP65 protection rating ensures a great seal against dust and water.
Precision and Visibility: The wireless remote control allows the operator to position themselves at the point of maximum visibility, near the silo. This allows for monitoring the engagement of the “sock” into the hatch with maximum precision, managing all arm movements with extreme fluidity.
Choose the reliability of T Series for your operations
The integration of the T7 radio remote control for this application is a choice that reduces “trunk” positioning times and increases safety at work.
