Agricultural Infrastructures – Silo
movement of air through stored grains for purposes other than drying
aeration
provides access inside the silo which may be located at the roof or at the wall
access door
angle of the material when the grains held starts to move
angle of friction
floor located at the basement of flat bottom silos
base flooring
panel where all the controls are located, with or without mimic board
control panel
height of the vertical-walled segment of silo
eave height
mechanism that facilitates vertical movement of grains
elevator
equipment for receiving grains at the bottom of a bucket elevator
elevator boot
height of grains at level condition
equivalent height
action of releasing a toxic chemical in the gaseous state to control a targeted pest
fumigation
milled or unmilled, seeds or fruits of various food plants more specifically the cereal grasses
grain
grain receiving area which may consist of elevator and other accessories such as weighing and cleaning machines
headhouse
dumping house
intake house
sloping, walled structure for discharging grains
hopper
structure above the silo bins that houses conveyor systems for grain distribution
load distribution system
board where the flow of grains at different points of the system at any time will be
reflected
mimic board
distance between the horizontal supporting plane surface and the horizontal plane
touching the uppermost part of the silo structure
overall height
distance between the vertical planes at the right angles to the median plane of the silo
structure and touching its front and rear extremities
overall length
distance between the vertical planes parallel to the median plane of the machine, each
plane touching the outermost point of the silo structure on its respective side
overall width
overall height of the silo structure from the topmost structure of the roof to the ground
peak height
unit consisting of upright containers used for storage and handling of grains in bulk
and provided with necessary equipment and accessories
silo
inside diameter of the largest inscribed circle within the silo cross-section
silo diameter
surface at the bottom of the silo where the grains lie
silo flooring
aspect ratio
ratio of the equivalent height (h) to the silo diameter (d), (h:d)
slenderness
