Après avoir séché au moins deux mois dans le hangar, le bois est livré à l'aide d’une benne de 6 m 3. En effet, cela était l'unique solution au vu de l'emplacement des deux portes du silo situées au-dessous d’un toit [...] qui empêcheraient toute livraison par un camion. Les plaquettes sont livrées dans un silo de 50 m 3, muni de racleurs hydrauliques pour le dessilage. Ensuite, pour éviter une trop grosse consommation électrique des vérins hydrauliques, un petit silo tampon de 1 m 3 a été installé. Les racleurs ne fonctionnent alors plus qu'une demi-heure par jour. 3, record 1, French, - silo%2Dtampon
