[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7121660, member: 2119"] In 1985 I helped father install a secondhand chain and cup elevator to take the grain from the almet drier. The cups had been bolted on the wrong way so didn’t fill properly and the most it could handle was a miserable 2.5 tph so it was easy to overwhelm it with the Almet which has max output 3 tph. So 35 years later my brother and I have turned the cups round the right way and bolted them back on but it won’t go round the bottom sprocket without digging into the casing of the elevator. So now we are modifying the casing. We will get it right one day and it will cope with anything the Almet can throw at it but how did the the original design go so wrong? [/QUOTE]
