L'élévateur à godets [...] sert à élever verticalement le grain, il est obligatoirement fixe. L'alimentation de l'appareil peut s'effectuer de 2 façons [...] Par la jambe descendante : les godets plongent dans la masse de grain contenu dans le pied de l'élévateur. Ce principe est le plus utilisé, il présente l'avantage de permettre un remplissage complet des godets, mais peut faire augmenter le taux de brisures lorsque l'on manutentionne un produit fragile. [...] Par la jambe montante, les godets sont chargés lorsqu'ils se présentent devant le gousset d'entrée, mais dans ce cas il sont moins bien remplis. Alimentation en grain d'un élévateur. [...] Il existe maintenant des modèles qui peuvent être alimentés indifféremment sur l'une ou l'autre jambe.
