	Grain elevator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bucket elevators lift grain by conveyor belt to a distribution point, where it flows by gravity into one of a number of bins, which are then unloaded by gravity.
		Grain elevators are a constant sight in the grain-growing areas of the world, such as the North American prairies.
		A recent problem with grain elevators is the need to provide separate storage for ordinary and genetically modified grain to reduce the risk of accidental mixing of the two.

	Wollenberg Elevator (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The elevator stands nearby a railroad line that crosses the northern edge of the property and from which a short siding curves its way to the northern flank of the structure.
		Grain arriving at the railroad siding was unloaded from cars by means of a power shovel that pushed the material into the distribution system at the basement level.
		hroughout the structure of the elevator and the mill considerable evidence exists of re-used timber from the waterfront Kellogg A Elevator.

	grain elevators in Montreal
		Some elevators are used to "transship" grain from one form of transportation to another (lake vessel to canal boat, canal boat to river boat, river boat to railroad car, railroad car to truck), don't store any grain, and thus have no silos at all.
		Strictly speaking, an elevator that handles grain requires two lofting legs (legs always come in pairs): one to elevate the grain from its original shipper and one to re-elevate the grain when the next shipper (or the grain's ultimate purchaser) wants it unloaded from the warehouse.
		In the days of the stevedores (before 1843), grain was packaged in special, always-sealed sacks, which not only contained the grain (kept it from spilling out) but also certified or confirmed that it was a certain kind of grain, from a certain farm, and thus of reliably good quality.

	Agricore United Brochure-The Operation Of A Grain Elevator
		The grain is carried to the top of the elevator and as it goes over a large pulley, it is dumped into the distributor (4) which directs the grain through a spout (5) into a pre-selected bin.
		Grain may be placed in the annex from any portion of the elevator or directly from a delivery truck.
		All the bins in a grain elevator are numbered, and the elevator manager records the type and grade of grain in each bin on a bin chart.

	The Grain Elevators -- Form and Function.
		After the weigh-in, the grain is boosted from the top of the marine leg to the top of the elevator proper, carried over the tops of the round bins which lie next to each other, and finally dropped into the assigned bins, according to the grade of the grain.
		When grain is taken out of the mammoth bins, it is dropped from the bottom of the bin onto a huge scale and then elevated again to the top of the bins.
		Consequently, grain elevators used an ingenious method called a "man lift." This was an endless moving belt stretching from basement to the the top with 12-inch square platform attached every 25 feet or so.

	Grain Elevators -- History
		Grain from the midwest was shipped on flatboards down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Orleans where it was then loaded onto sailing vessels that carried it to its eventual destination in the East or in Europe.
		It elevated the grain from the ship and stored it in bins until it was lowered for transshipment or for milling purposes.
		The Watson Elevator was unique in that it had a slip directly underneath it allowing canal boats to dock under the bins and have the grain dropped directly into the boat's hold using only the force of gravity.

	OSHA Special Report - Executive Summary - Explosion of DeBruce Grain Elevator Wichita, Kansas 8 June 1998
		Analysis of Previous Elevator Explosions -- From 1979 to 1981, the NAS Panel on Causes and Prevention of Grain Elevator Explosions investigated 14 grain elevator explosions in Iowa (1), Kansas (1), Minnesota (4), Missouri (1), Nebraska (4), North Carolina (1), South Dakota (1), and Texas (1).
		The elevator complex at the time of the explosion consisted of 246 circular grain silos (often also referred to as tanks or bins) that were 30' in diameter and 120' in height, arranged in a linear array of 3 silos abreast.
		Elevated grain was carried horizontally in each gallery by belt from the headhouse out to a selected silo and then dumped into that silo, using a "tripper" to divert the grain from the belt.

		Elevator materials: While the mechanization of grain handling that went on inside the early elevators represented the application of new ideas to an age-old industry, the materials and methods used to construct the first elevators were not new.
		Despite their old-fashioned look, the new Buffalo elevators increased the speed with which grain could be transferred from boat to barge and made it possible to store safely large of amounts of grain at the site.
		Cleaning grain: A system for cleaning grain shipments of chaff and other impurities involved dropping the grain into a large cylinder and drawing off the lighter chaff that rose in the air by means of a steam-powered exhaust fan.

		A famous modern-day grain dust explosion was the second one to occur at a large export grain silo plant in Corpus Christi, TX.
		The suspected cause of the explosion was thought to be smoldering lumps of milo grain which ignited a dust cloud in a bucket elevator, though there has never been a consensus as to the cause.
		During 1995, 14 grain dust explosions were reported, and the ten-year average for grain dust explosions was reported as 13 explosions.

		Often seen as a symbol of rural life in the West, the grain elevator is now rapidly disappearing from the Prairie landscape, prompting efforts to preserve this characteristic architecture.
		The first grain elevators appeared on the Prairies in the 1870s, and during the next sixty years nearly 6,000 were built.
		The Canada Hall's grain elevator is decorated as it appeared during the royal couple's stop on June 3, 1939, inscribed with the message "Welcome to Their Majesties." Over 60,000 people thronged to Melville that day to catch a glimpse of the monarchs.

	Nat' Academies Press, Prevention of Grain Elevator and Mill Explosions (1982)
		For example, the personal cosmology of both grain elevator managers and workers (i.e., how they perceive who they are and the meaning of life) influences their attitude in taking action to prevent explosions.
		A study of the functions of elevators and mills (e.g., grinding, blending, and storing of grain) is needed to serve as the teas 'is for totally new elevator and mill designs that will reduce the explosion hazard without decreasing efficiency or increasing cots, both capital and operating.
		Although large grain corporations will disagree vigorously with this point, there are literally thousands of elevators and mills operating as independent entities whose understanding of the hazard is at best limited to a knowledge that elevator explosions are fueled by grain dust.
