Patent

CA 2281423

A method of forming a grain pile by pushing grain into a buried insertion point. A screw conveyor is disclosed for carrying grain at ground level from a receiving point to the buried insertion point. The screw conveyor creates a pile core at the insertion point and forcibly enlarges the pile core into a large pile against forces of natural resistance. The method is disclosed as being useful in contemporary grain storage facilities where it reduces exposure of the cover to wind damage and in traditional storage facilities where it reduces the risk of explosion, all at reduced cost and with reduced grain damage. Piles as large as 2,000,000 bushels can be formed by a conveyor having a drive motor of less than 50 horsepower. Grains of different properties may be formed into a pile and become blended as a consequence thereof.
