METHOD FOR CHARGING SILAGE MATERIAL INTO SILO

摘要

PURPOSE:To produce high quality silage materials at a low cost, by introducing a duct into a synthetic resin bag disposed in a silo and having a capacity substantially equal to that of the silo, through a cleavage in the bag which may be therefore inflated by air fed through a hose while the materials are introduced from the top of the bag. CONSTITUTION:A synthetic resin bag 3 having a capacity substantially equal to that of a tower silo 2 is slung up by a roper from a pulley 2B which is suspended by the tower silo 2 in the vicinity of the material introduction port thereof. A cleavage is formed in the bag in the vicinity of the top end of the bag and also in the vicinity of the material introduction port of the silo by longitudinally applying a tape to that position and cutting that position through the tape with the use of a knife, and a duct is inserted into the bag through the cleavage with the lower end of the duct being located at a position below one half of the height of the silo 2. Further, a hose 6 connected to a blower 6A is inserted into the duct from the upper end thereof. Therefore, air is fed into the bag through the hose 6 to inflate the bag 3 which is therefore made into close contact with the silo 2 while materials 8 are introduced into the bag by means of conveyer 7 upper end of which is inserted into the silo 2. The lower end of the duct is moved to charge the materials flat, and thereafter, the top end opening of the back is bounded by a rope to sealingly close it. Accordingly, high quality materials may be obtained at a low cost with less labor.
