ABSTRACT:
A round silo for storage of different kinds of grain, especially damp grain, in layers one above the other, in a predetermined ratio, so as to facilitate a desired mixture of different grain kinds. The silo is of the type including a central bottom outlet opening. The central bottom outlet opening is in the shape of a conical deflector having a truncated conical surface, with the point thereof upwardly facing, and an outer peripheral edge disposed at a predetermined distance from the bottom of the silo. Furthermore, the silo is provided at its bottom end with an annular zone defined outwardly by the silo wall and inwardly by the outer peripheral edge of the conical deflector. A rotatable blade is mounted at the bottom of the silo beneath the conical deflector for rotation around the central axis of the silo for conveying grain toward the center of the silo and the conveyor means. The free end of the rotatable blade engages a grain slope formed in the annular zone to convey grain to the conveyor means where the grain is mixed with grain of a different kind taken off an upper layer so as to obtain a desired mixture of different grain kinds.
