Abstract: Method and apparatus for the slow cooling of grain in which warm grain is introduced into the upper end of a silo and cooling air is introduced at the lower end and is evacuated at an intermediate point between the upper and lower ends of the silo. The warm grain descends through the silo in a non-ventilated space above the intermediate point where the internal moisture is removed, then into a ventilated space where it is cooled by the cooling air and finally to the lower end of the silo from which the cooled grain is extracted.
Abstract: A plurality of metering conveyors for individual constituents of a mixture is arranged in conjunction with a single discharge conveyor. A drive means comprising a motor and transmission means simultaneously drive the discharge conveyor and is successively connected to each of the metering conveyors. A speed variator is interposed between each metering conveyor and the transmission means for individual control of each of the metering conveyors during operation.
