Silo for artificial drying of hazelnuts, walnuts and similar other seeds.

摘要

This invention relates to a silo consisting of a cylindrical tank (1), having a vertical axis; the tank is fitted at the bottom with a perforated hopper (1a) fitted with an external hollow space (1d) into which heated forced air is introduced; the air passes through the product stored in the silo, from the bottom to the top. The seed is mixed by one or more radial screw units (12) having a vertical axis, and placed next to each other, whose shafts are connected at the top to the same number of revolving pins (6) supported by a radial carrier (3) which turns very slowly around the vertical axis of the silo, driven by a geared motor (5) fitted at the centre of a supporting frame with rays (2) fitted over the silo. <IMAGE>
