Subject: RE: converting a stave silo to bottom unload


Latimer, Iowa (north central)
The blower pushing it in, had a directional spout/diverter on it packed it very well. Made really good feed but there was defiantly an art to getting it filled correctly and not put any holes in the plastic. Feed would be a hard packed face for the entire height when loading out, had to feed a few feet a day to keep ahead of spoilage once opened a bag up and exposed it to oxygen. We were running a Gehl 1580 1000 rpm blower at 1100 rpm and it has alot of force when only 20 foot from the end of the spout. Getting the bag sealed up on ends and along sides as you filled were important too.
