The Buffalo sloped-bin elevator features legs located outside the elevator's main body. This feature is intended to minimize damage and danger should an explosion ever occur. A limitation of the first Buffalo sloped-bin elevator was the amount of cross-elevator grain conveyance. Emphasis on energy economizing measures has resulted in modified sloping bin elevators which make better use of gravity in moving grain. 1, record 1, English, - Buffalo%20sloped%2Dbin%20elevator

Le silo à cellules inclinées de type «Buffalo» se distingue par des élévateurs à godets situés à l'extérieur du bâtiment principal du silo; cela réduit les dommages et le danger en cas d'explosion. Un des inconvénients du premier silo à compartiments inclinés Buffalo était la quantité de grain transporté dans le silo. La recherche de moyens d'économiser l'énergie a permis de modifier les silos à cellules inclinées de manière à mieux utiliser la gravité pour déplacer le grain. 1, record 1, French, - silo%20%C3%A0%20cellules%20inclin%C3%A9es%20de%20type%20%5C%22Buffalo%5C%22
