Saw this image of grain being unloaded by two mechanical arms at a port in China (from wsj). I wondered how they did that and it turns out it's super interesting.pic.twitter.com/2rAP1HIuBM

Farming 101. Happening inside all grain bins in north America today and for decades (slightly diff equipment and config than ships). For the record there are ‘GrainVacs’ by Brandt and others.https://images.app.goo.gl/xkTHkB13FRWK6YQCA …
Cool but this is a vacuum right? Or does it also have a screw in the tube?

Suction side is vacuum only to make it light weight. I think some would have auger on the discharge side. I’ve seen some that had auger suction inside the bin.
