ABSTRACT:
Such improvements consist in using as arm (2) of the machine for loading and unloading the vat, a hollow and hermetically sealed element to which compressed air from a generator (10) has access. The air is channelled through a series of vertical uprights (6) to heads (11) connected in their turn to the said uprights, elongated, in such a way as to extend radially outwardly in a direction from the central column of the machine and adjacent the base (3) of the vat. The heads (11) are provided with lateral air-exit slots. The heads (11) are connected to arm (2) via the vertical uprights (6) for rotation therewith.
In this way a radial air-curtain is formed which, on rotating the arm (2) of the loading/unloading machine, circumferentially sweeps the whole bottom of the vat and consequently stirs, oxygenates, cools and, if relevant, displaces the CO.sub.2 from the whole mass of grain, in a uniform way.
