Abstract
In the previous paper, the equations to obtain the operating rate of receiving section were established, and the effects of various receiving factors were considered. In this paper, selecting the four country elevators of single tank type or double tank type, the practical receiving processes were measured. The validity of the equations then could be verified. Using the measured results, the reasons why the operating rate is lowered were discussed. It became clear that difference in the time to confirm the end point of weighing or to change the next load among the facilities affects the operating rate.
Next, it was clarified that the layout of receiving hopper (passing style or U-turn style) gives no effect on the receiving process.
