The malt storage bins extend through three floors, and the same conveyor system that loads the bins conveys the malt from the bottom of the bins to the top of the conveyor system where it is discharged into the screener hopper, and from there through revolving screen into the malt mill. The ground malt is then conveyed to chutes leading to the malt scale hopper and rice scale hopper. Redler conveyor and elevator system is used. This conveyor has only one leg and drags the malt along instead of picking it up as in the bucket elevator.

Truck unloading facilities, like those for rail, vary from terminal to terminal. Recently, large semitrailer hopper trucks have come into the grain movement. They carry between 20 and 30 tonnes and unload through bottom discharge gates into an unloading pit. Unlike the case of rail hoppers cars, normally few changes are required in terminal design to accommodate hopper trucks.

Les installations de déchargement des camions, comme celles des wagons, varient d'un silo industriel à l'autre. Il n'y a pas longtemps, on a vu apparaître de grands camions semi-remorques à trémies capables de transporter de 20 à 30 tonnes de grain et de les décharger dans les fosses par leurs vannes. Contrairement à ce qui se produit pour les wagons-trémies, l'aménagement des silos ne nécessite que peu de modifications pour permettre la livraison par camions a trémies.

During primary thickening, some of the water is removed from primary sludge, thereby reducing its volume. As the velocity of the flow slows, gravity causes sludge to settle to the bottom of the thickener where it is raked into a hopper and pumped to mixing tanks where it is combined with sludge from the secondary system.

Subject field(s)
  • Cheese and Dairy Products

An enclosed finishing vat for cheesemaking(Cheddar, Colby or stirred-curd types) has a generally flat bottom with longitudinal trough for whey drainage; an oval side wall and a dome-shaped top which overlaps the sides. A reciprocating agitator unit mounted above the vat is fitted with both stirring and unloading paddles. Curd and whey are passed into the vat through an inlet in the top and whey drains into a tank situated at the lower end of the vat, with a screen to prevent curd from entering the tank. A curd discharge outlet with movable door is situated in the bottom wall of the tank, directly above a curd hopper fitted with a conveyor for moving curd to a collection area. As the vat is totally enclosed, contamination of the curd is virtually eliminated, evaporation heating of the vat is not required...(US Patent, 1982, no. 4, 308791 : information obtained through the FSTA data base).
