Agro industrial plants , there are underground sites for grain handling . These sites there conveyor elements , grain transfer , discharge hoppers, which need to be accessed many times a day , to check the flow of material, manual opening or closing of spies , constant checking , for very short routines , which sometimes take a few minutes .
