Material handling solutions and in-house expertise

Our dedicated team ensures a seamless experience, offering expertise and assistance, promising equipment reliability and maintenance assistance.

Gough Engineering’s priority is to act in our customers’ best interest, to develop long-term relationships built on trust.

As part of our conveying system design, we align it with your specific requirements. This approach not only addresses the various challenges that may occur in production processes, but also aims to enhance overall efficiency and productivity on the production line.

To achieve this, our engineers design complete systems that result in:

More reliable equipment: We ensure consistent and trouble-free operation over the long term. This reliability translates to reduced downtime and maintenance, contributing to sustained productivity.
Less energy consumption: Our conveying systems save energy and lower costs for our clients.
Less cleaning requirement: The thoughtful integration of features and materials minimises the collection of debris and facilitates easier cleaning processes, streamlining maintenance efforts.
Less product spillage: We engineer our systems to tackle product spillage, promoting a cleaner and safer working environment.
Less manual handling: The integration of automation and precision in our designs significantly reduces the need for manual handling.

We check all equipment thoroughly for quality and test it before delivery. We also provide factory acceptance testing and a mechanical installation service. Lastly, we provide a brilliant after-sales support service, as well as a parts and maintenance facility.

Silos to Screening to Elevator before Packing Line

Machine integration and product classification

There can be a range of different equipment combinations within a product conveying scheme.

Screening systems to guarantee product quality, or transfer equipment such as elevators or feeding equipment, might be used. Depending on your requirements, we can support the controlled distribution of product within your processes.

Gough Engineering supports with:

Smaller schemes
Vacuum or aero-mechanical conveying solutions
Bucket elevators for delicate handling and segregated distribution/feeding
Multiple long elevator runs in both horizontal and vertical planes

Gough Engineering’s systems support precise quality control from production to final packing lines — even road tankers. Let’s look at some examples of different setups:

Rip and tip to larger vessels with sheck screening

To fit larger receiving bins or vessels, we can create a rip and tip station for operators to safely discharge bagged product with integrated screening. The unit pictured to the left shows support side panels to fit to existing extraction during operational de-dusting. It includes:

Combined steps and hood
Accommodation of larger receiving vessel heights under sieve

Rip and tip stations with quality control and elevation

If you require combined quality screening with product elevation for a mobile rip and tip unit, then Gough Engineering can provide this solution. The aim with this is to achieve your production rates and integrated product quality assurance.

Improving safety and efficiency by using clean and safe elevation methods can enhance your production and delivery. Talk to our specialists today to learn how you can maintain product quality during distribution and feeding operations.

Rip and tip station with check screen and aero-mechanical elevation

You may need to rip and tip small product bags, remove any debris or contaminates with a vibrational check screen and elevate up to a blender — as shown on the left. This solution may include:

Mobile unit
Extraction connected hood
Fast product elevation

To maintain cleanliness, you can use a rip and tip station equipped with a large quality control vibration screening unit. This setup also includes a built-in extraction/filter unit, as shown in the image on the right with a pivoting hood. This setup may include:

Larger 850 mm screen
Fully integrated filter extraction
Built in screening

Gough big bag systems

Efficiently handle bulk materials from big bags using a Gough Big Bag (GBB) discharger. This FIBC ‘Big Bag’ discharger system can be operated with a forklift cruciform or hoist/pendant. It includes a combined vibratory feeder along with an additional small bag rip & tip station. This setup is uniquely tailored to fit your building logistics. It can come with:

Hoist or forklift big bag loading
Integral small bag rip and tip station
Feeding into one destination
