MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511126325 A) filed by Raghav Productivity Solutions Private Limited, Jaipur, Rajasthan, on Dec. 13, 2025, for 'multi-stage silo segregation and buffering system.'
Inventor(s) include Sanjay Kabra.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Multi-stage Silo Segregation and Buffering System The disclosure relates to a multi-stage silo segregation and buffering system for handling particulate material in an industrial processing line. The system comprises a plurality of permanent storage silos arranged at successive process stages, each dimensioned with distinct holding capacities suited to their respective buffering roles. An automated input conveyor architecture terminates in chute work fitted with automated diverter gates, which are actuated to allocate segregated material streams into designated silos without admixture at changeovers. Each silo is furnished with metered discharge arrangements configured to provide selective draw-down in response to downstream demand. A sensor-based level monitoring arrangement delivers multi-threshold feedback to a centralized programmable logic controller (PLC), which governs the diverter gates and discharge arrangements through real-time supervisory control. The system further include moisture-control arrangements within silos, automated cleaning arrangements for silos and chute work, and dedicated off-grade silos for rejected material. Coordinated PLC logic ensures segregation fidelity, buffering continuity, and flow stability across multiple stages, thereby decoupling upstream variability from downstream consumption. The system is applicable to mineral feedstocks such as ores, aggregates, quartz, or quartzite fractions, and supports continuous or semi-continuous plant operation while maintaining product consistency and quality assurance."
