Pipe layout
Direction of pipeline
Keep the pipeline horizontal or vertical. Longer sloped
rising or falling distances will result in wear on the
pipes, risk of plugging of pipes, damage to the grain
and capacity loss. The only time sloping pipe layout is
advisable is right before the grain reaches its destina-
tion.

Flexible suction pipe
When emptying silos and on-floor storage plants with
suction equipment, do avoid bending the flexible pipe
in a sharp curve. The sharper the pipe is bended, the
harder the wear will be and the lower the capacity
obtained.
It is not necessary to install the flexible pipe right after
the suction head.

Conveying to two or several difficult accessible
destinations
When conveying grain through areas, where service
is difficult, e.g. high silos, it can be considerably less
expensive long term to use several separate pipelines,
as in example 1. Investment is slightly more expensive
than example 2, but it is normally easier and less ex-
pensive to make service on this plant, and wear on
the pipes is reduced considerably, becausen not all
grain for both silos should pass through the same pipe.
The most simple and less expensive solution for con-
veying to several silos, will often be a system of loose
pipes in floor height, which with OK-quick release
clamps easily can be connected to one or the other
silo.
Condensed water in outdoor
piping systems
With outdoor piping systems
condensed water will arise
in the pipes especially in the
winter time. Therefore it is re-
commended to disconnect a
pipe or a bend at the lowest
points, when the system is not
to be used for a longer time in
order to avoid water accumula-
tion and rust.
If diverters are installed out-
door, these should stay in the
middle position so that water
can not be accumulated here
thus reducing rust and corro-
sion.
If possible blower, rotary valve
and diverters shall always be
placed indoor/ under roof.
