ABSTRACT:
A center discharge mechanism is provided for a silo bottom unloader, wherein an auger sweeps across the floor of the silo while rotating, and conveys silage toward a generally central discharge opening, for conveyance of silage to a zone disposed beneath the silo floor at the center thereof. There is a sealed bottom discharge door for the chute at the center of the silo, which door is openable and which, when opened, has a flat surface such that, when it is opened and placed in a given position, it functions also as a deflector, for deflecting silage laterally of the geometric center of the silo, onto a conveyor mechanism or the like, for conveyance of silage outwardly of the zone beneath the center of the silo, for use.
