<p>The grain loading apparatus comprises the housing which is attached to the end of the grain discharge chute. The housing includes a shutoff valve located proximately to a material outlet opening. The shutoff valve exerts an adjustable closure force on the material flow through the outlet opening to build up a first column of material thereabove. In addition, a grain retarding cone and cylinder is arranged inside the housing above the shutoff valve. This grain retarding cone and cylinder decreases the kinetic energy of the material flow and builds up a second column of material thereabove to significantly lessen release of dust into the air upon discharge of the grain strain.</p> |
