Description
A
photograph
of a
grain
elevator
in
Ohio
alongside
a
railroad
track
. A
grain
elevator
is
a
tower
containing
a
bucket
elevator
,
which
scoops
up
,
elevates
and then
uses
gravity
to
deposit
grain
in a
silo
or
other
storage
facility
. In
most
grain-producing
countries
, the
term
"
grain
elevator
"
is
a
pars
pro
toto
which
also
covers
facilities
attached
to the
elevator
itself
,
such
as
receival
and
testing
offices
,
weighbridges
,
storage
facilities
and/or
complexes
of
such
buildings
.
It
may
also
mean
organizations
that
operate
or
control
several
individual
elevators
, in
different
locations
.
Early
grain
elevators
and
bins
were
often
constructed
of
framed
or
cribbed
wood
, and were
prone
to
fire
.
Grain
elevator
bins
,
tanks
and
silos
are
now
usually
constructed
of
steel
or
reinforced
concrete
.
Bucket
elevators
are
used
to
lift
grain
to a
distributor
or
consignor
, from
where
it
falls
through
spouts
and/or
conveyors
and into
one
of a
number
of
bins
,
silos
or
tanks
in a
facility
.
When
desired
,
silos
,
bins
and
tanks
are
emptied
by
gravity
flow
,
sweep
augers
and
conveyors
. As
grain
is
emptied
from
bins
,
tanks
and
silos
it
is
conveyed
,
blended
and
weighted
into
trucks
,
railroad
cars
or
barges
, and
shipped
to
grain
wholesalers
,
exporters
and/or
local
end-users
,
such
as
flour
mills
,
breweries
and
ethanol
or
alcohol
distilleries
.
Many
Ohio
cities
,
including
Toledo
and
Cleveland
,
produced
grain
elevators
during
the
early
to
mid
1800's
because
of the
amount
of
grain
produced
in
Ohio
and the
transportation
capabilities
Ohio
had to
ship
grain
via
the
Erie
Canal
and
Lake
Erie
.
