entonnoirs du silo à grain Explanation: See photos http://www.automatedproduction.com/english/swine/delivery/bo... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day20 hrs (2006-06-16 08:58:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I'm sorry I didn't see this question before last night very late, so my answer is probably of no use to you any more. I'm not very happy with my translation, but at least with the photos you can get an idea of what boots are and what their purpose is. They are often used with an auger ( tarière) to make sure the boot doesn't get clogged up and the grains will keep flowing. It is situated at the base of the silo. I suppose it is called "boot" because one of the meanings of "to boot" is to eject : "To put out by force. bump, dismiss, eject, evict, expel, oust, throw out. Informal chuck. Slang bounce, kick out. Idioms: give someone the boot, give someone theheave-hoold heave-ho, send packing, show someone the door, throw out on one's ear. See keep/release." http://www.answers.com/boot&r=67 I can't find what it's called in French. I have seen "compartiment d'échappement" but that doesn't sound as neat as "boot"! Maybe "bac de déversement" or "trémie" or something like that? I suggested "entonnoirs" because the idea is that the grain falls down through the boot and is ejected. If you come up with something better, I'm interested. Thanks! |
