Cumulative grain breakage through a handling line.
| Transfer point | Breakage added (per cent) | Cumulative (per cent) |
|---|---|---|
| Intake pit | 0.3 | 0.3 |
| First elevator | 0.5 | 0.8 |
| Distributor | 0.2 | 1.0 |
| Second elevator | 0.5 | 1.5 |
Which change would reduce the total most effectively?
Answer: C
Correct answer: Redesigning to need only one elevator
The two elevators contribute 0.5 per cent each, a full two thirds of the 1.5 per cent total, so removing one is worth more than any adjustment to the other stages. The general principle follows: lift once as high as needed and distribute by gravity thereafter, rather than lifting, lowering and lifting again.
