A truck-dumper would normally be installed in a large plant. However, where manual labour is inexpensive and readily available, a dumper would be justified only if unloading time were an important factor. A truck-dumper can unload up to 20 trucks or about 6000 tonnes of grain per hour as compared to 80 tonnes per hour in a manual operation. 1, record 1, English, - truck%2Ddumper

Les gros silos doivent normalement être munis d’un basculateur de camion. Toutefois, dans les régions où la main-d’œuvre est abondante et bon marché, l'installation d’un basculeur ne serait justifiée que si le temps de déchargement était un facteur important. Un basculateur de camion peut décharger jusqu'à 20 camions ou quelque 600 tonnes de grain à l'heure comparativement à 80 tonnes dans le cas du déchargement manuel. 1, record 1, French, - basculeur%20de%20camion

Condominium (condo) storage refers to space that a producer may own or lease within a licensed primary elevator ... Using condo storage enables producers to position their grain closer to the market and allows them to initiate a sale at any time from anywhere around the world. Producers are also able to avoid spring road bans and the difficulty of moving grain by truck in the winter from on farm storage bins to a primary elevator. In the case of Canadian Wheat Board grain, condo storage allows producers to deliver into the elevator system above quotas and prior to a contract call. 2, record 4, English, - condominium%20storage

La capacité de stockage garantie se rapporte à l'espace qu'un producteur peut acheter ou louer à l'intérieur d’un silo primaire agréé [...] Avoir recours au stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de rapprocher leur grain des débouchés et réaliser une vente en tout temps avec n’ importe quel coin du monde. Les producteurs peuvent également éviter les interdictions s’appliquant aux routes au printemps et la difficulté d’acheminer le grain par camion des cellules de stockage à la ferme à un silo primaire en hiver. Dans le cas du grain de la Commission canadienne du blé, le stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de livrer du grain dans le réseau de silos au-delà des contingents et avant l'appel à un contrat. 2, record 4, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20stockage%20garantie%20au%20producteur

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 5, 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 5, French, - fosse%20de%20r%C3%A9ception

An example will illustrate how the computer assists the operation. Joe Smith delivers a truck load of grain to the elevator, and is directed by the central control board operator (CBO) to receiving pit. Using an alphanumeric keyboard, the CBO types in Smith's account number, the code number of the receiving pit (origin) and the code number of the selected bin (destination) in which his grain will be stored. The computer then determines all possible alternate routes between the receiving pit and the bin and displays them in detail on the video screen. The operator selects the route he wants to use by typing in the proper instruction. All but the selected route codes disappear from the video screen. The computer then determines all possible simultaneous routes that could be used without interference; the operator may later select any of these routes for another operation. 1, record 6, English, - central%20control%20board%20operator

Nous allons nous servir d’un exemple pour illustrer comment l'ordinateur assiste le fonctionnement du silo. Joe Smith arrive au silo avec un camion de grain et le préposé au tableau de commande principal(PTC) le dirige vers une fosse de réception. A l'aide d’un clavier alphanumérique, le préposé introduit dans l'ordinateur le numéro de compte de M. Smith, le code de la fosse de réception(point de départ) et le code de la cellule(destination) où le grain de M. Smith sera stocké. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires possibles entre la fosse de réception et la cellule en question et les affiche sur l'écran de contrôle. Le préposé choisit l'itinéraire voulu en tapant l'instruction appropriée. Les codes correspondant à tous les autres itinéraires disparaissent de l'écran. L'ordinateur détermine alors tous les itinéraires partiels qui peuvent être suivis simultanément sans qu'il y ait d’obstacle; le préposé peut choisir plus tard n’ importe lequel de ces itinéraires pour une autre opération. 1, record 6, French, - pr%C3%A9pos%C3%A9%20au%20tableau%20de%20commande%20principal
