With the technological development of a new class of wastes, the technological ones were created. Many times, this waste is not processed correctly, having its hazardous disposal. Thus, recycling these materials is an alternative to end specific equipment. This work used this approach to develop a low-cost, affordable second-row conveyor belt. The conveyor belt was designed to bag, weigh, and monitor different volumes in a grain silo. Such equipment is of interest to smallholder applications as well as the integration between different areas of the Biosystems engineering course.
