[QUOTE="Oliveau, post: 7746781, member: 159650"] Intake pit, elevators, self emptying wet bins, drier and weigher (possibly a cleaner/dresser) in the smaller building - you might need to add a small penthouse for the tops of the elevators. in the big shed, double line of air sweep bins down the middle with a conveyor. Put a small pit after the bins so that grain from floor storage can be sent back to elevators etc. This gives the option for storing rape, peas, beans etc as well specialist cereals like malting barley as well as the option of drying crops where the m/c is a bit high and you only want to take 1 or 2% out. This leaves two floor storage areas either side for feed wheat and feed barley. Put some buried ducts in from the side of the building to run low volume conditioning fans - this will leave a flat floor for unloading with a bucket. An overhead conveyor will take grain to floor or bins. I‘d go for 2 twin leg elevators to give plenty of options for moving grain around. With an outlet from one of the elevators over the tipping pit you then have the option when selling grain of pre-loading the wet pits with a weighed amount of grain and with say 40 tph elevators it’s 30 mins to load a 20 t bulker. Put a wall between wet pit and rest of building to cut dust - can be hardboard on a stud frame. [/QUOTE]
