MODELS 243 AND S243 PROVIDE FLEXIBILITY
The equipment for System 243 consists of a Model 243 or Model
S243 Unloader and heavy duty Laidig Silo. The System 243 silo
and unloader packages are ruggedly designed to store and handle
a variety of materials including sawdust, wood chips, soybean meal,
corn fiber, cotton seed meal, other meat and grain meals, along
with other bulk products that typically present flow problems.
Choose the Model 243-1 Motor System where simplicity is desired.
The Model 243- 2 Motor System is ideal for applications requiring
more flexibility for material delivery control. The Model S243 is
the choice when more power and higher delivery rates are required.
All three models are available for 6’ to 30’ diameter applications
depending on material flow characteristics and delivery rates
needed. They can either be installed into a new Laidig Silo or
retrofit into existing structures.

from Laidig Industrial Systems

LAYOUT AND SPECIFICATIONS
Before recommending a specific system, Laidig considers the material to be stored,
the storage period, the unloading rate, the expected usage, and other factors.
Because the unloaders and silos are designed for different materials and purposes,
Laidig considers all factors before recommending a particular system.
CONSTRUCTION
At Laidig Industrial Systems, the crews which install the unloader and erect the
structure are well aware of their responsibility to meet high construction standards.
Well trained and equipped, the competent people at Laidig meet the highest
standards in the construction industry.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
Laidig personnel consult with their customers regarding the proper filling and
operating procedures for each system. When the system is first started up, Laidig’s
policy is to be there to demonstrate how to operate the system. Laidig Industrial
System excels in customer service —our troubleshooters can solve problems over
the phone or, if necessary, will come to your plant. In addition, Laidig inventories
a complete line of parts to service their equipment.
