LIAONING, China – Hopper Bottom Silos are widely favored in grain storage for their efficient gravity-driven discharge capability, but the normal operation of their grain discharge mechanism is crucial to ensuring smooth storage workflows. When the grain discharge mechanism of a Hopper Bottom Silo gets stuck or stops, it is far more than a simple operational glitch—it triggers quadruple risks affecting safety, equipment integrity, grain quality, and production continuity, with potentially severe economic losses. Liaoning Qiushi Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., a leading manufacturer of Hopper Bottom Silos and supporting discharge systems, draws on years of industry experience to analyze the ten main causes of this issue, helping customers identify, prevent, and resolve discharge jams effectively.
