- dreamcompiler 5y agoThere are augurs inside, but the grain doesn't always cooperate. Sometimes it clumps up or the augur creates a void, in which case a person has to go in and break up the clumps.
- dreamcompiler 5y agoAnd FWIW the word is auger, which I misspelled.
- quesera 5y agoMade me laugh. An augur is a person who inteprets the will of the gods, which would certainly have applications, even inside a grain silo! But an auger would be more directly useful to the problem at hand. Apologies for the pedantry!
- masklinn 5y agoThere are definitely automation tools (augers, aerators, …) but they tend to be pretty fixed and inflexible, and sometimes there's an issue with them, and you need one of each system you want / need for each bin.
