The primary function of a port grain terminal is either to load or unload ships, depending on whether it is an export or an import facility. In transshipment facilities, both functions are involved. Regardless of the type of terminal, however, the emphasis is on throughput. Storage capacity is incidental and can normally be limited to the minimum required to eliminate interruptions in the transshipment function. Other factors of course can have a bearing on storage capacity, such as the existence of local onshore markets or anticipated lengthy delays in ship movement. The geographical location of the terminal will determine which of these or other factors must be considered. 1, record 4, English, - port%20grain%20terminal

Un silo portuaire est principalement conçu pour charger ou décharger les bateaux, selon qu'il sert aux activités d'exportation ou aux activités d'importation. Les silos de transbordement servent aux deux types d'activité. Quel que soit le genre de silo, la capacité de traitement demeure le facteur primordial. La capacité de stockage n'a qu'une importance secondaire et peut normalement être restreinte au minimum requis pour assurer un transbordement ininterrompu. Il existe certes d'autres facteurs susceptibles d'influer sur la capacité de stockage, notamment l'existence de marchés à proximité ou encore de longs retards anticipés dans le mouvement des bateaux. L'emplacement géographique du silo déterminera lequel de ces deux facteurs, ou d'autres facteurs, doit être pris en considération. 1, record 4, French, - silo%20portuaire

As new and larger elevators were built, companies often moved old elevators beside one another and used them as annexes to a new elevator. In these facilities, grain is elevated to the top of the operating elevator, moved by screw auger to the distributor spout of the annexed elevator and then allowed to flow by gravity to the desired storage bin. It is emptied by screw auger which moves the grain from the annex elevator into the back hopper of the operating elevator. 1, record 5, English, - elevator%20annex

À mesure que se construisaient des silos plus nouveaux et plus grands, les compagnies déplaçaient souvent de vieux silos pour les mettre à côté des nouveaux et s'en servir comme annexes. Dans ces installations, le grain est élevé au sommet du silo, transporté par vis jusqu'au distributeur du silo annexe et déversé par les goulottes dans une des cellules. Les cellules sont vidées par le bas et une vis transporteuse amène le grain à la fosse arrière de l'élévateur à godets. 1, record 5, French, - silo%20annexe
