<p>Apparatus for the lifting and discharging of grain employing plug flow to minimize grain damage, dusting and wear and tear. A belt (25) carrying lightweight buckets (27) is operated at relatively low speed and is trained around a head (23) and a tail (21) pulley. The lip (31) of the buckets projects outwardly from the belt surface a predetermined distance. The speed of the belt (25), the effective diameter of the head pulley (23) and the bucket projection from the belt are correlated to provide the desired discharge flow from the buckets (27). </p> |
