Grain helps feed the world and silos help producers bring food to your table. These iconic structures that dot the landscape of many port areas enable cargo owners to store grain efficiently.
Vertical elevators are the only current workable systems people use to fill grain silos. Since most structures are tall, it's impractical to use inclined conveyor methods to fill them. Bucket elevator systems require high initial investments, but they provide an efficient way to load grain into a silo.
In most silos, gravity causes grain to flow from the top of the silo and out through an opening at the bottom near the center. At that opening, a machine called an auger transports the grain to a vehicle or another grain storage facility.
