The dust is separated by the dust separation unit.
Any metal objects are separated by magnets.
Wheat is lifted through 4 elevators to the upper belts.
The wheat is distributed in the cells according to the storage capacity of each cell by means of the upper belts and with the help of sensors located inside the cells to determine the available capacity.
The cells are equipped with incense burners to kill fungi and bacteria.
The cells are unloaded as needed through the lower belts located inside the tunnels under the cells.
The cells are unloaded by the unloading cells in the loading cars.
