Grain and Feed Bins and Pits. Grain bins are similar to silos except they are usually shorter, wider and made of galvanized steel. They are used to store small grains, and can be fitted with dryers to remove moisture from the grain. Grain pits are less common on the farm. A grain pit is a recess in the ground made of concrete, steel or both. They are covered with a metal grate that allows vehicles to drive over the top and dump grain through the grate into the pit. Grain is usually removed from the pit by an auger conveyor or a high-speed vertical bucket conveyor called a grain leg. Both of these types of structures create a number of specific hazards. 2, record 7, English, - grain%20pit

Au premier abord il ne semble pas nécessaire de posséder un moyen de réception rapide des grains. Il existe en effet des vis élévatrices munies d'une trémie de réception. Leur débit est assez lent et il faut tenir compte de l'organisation du chantier de récolte qui ne doit souffrir aucun retard, ou de la durée de livraison par camion qui doit être la plus courte possible. Le meilleur moyen pour arriver à satisfaire ces deux exigences est de disposer d'une trémie creusée dans le sol, dans laquelle les véhicules de livraison viennent vider rapidement leur chargement. De plus il peut arriver que des pannes dans l'installation arrêtent les moyens de manutention. La capacité de la fosse est alors employée comme tampon pour recevoir du grain pendant un certain temps. 1, record 7, French, - fosse%20de%20r%C3%A9ception

Once the new annex is up and operational, the two new phases will be split to handle processing on one side and shipping on the other. A new detached office will be built to handle customer relations, and the scale driveway will extended from its current 100 feet to 140. The driveway extension will take place first, said Borgen, which will necessitate the B-train trucks to use trackside loading while that takes place. There will also be an increased head drive on the existing leg, and an additional shipping leg will be added in Phase II. An eventual goals as well is to locate the Pool' s farm service centre at the elevator, moving it out of the city, said Sanders. 2, record 8, English, - shipping%20leg
