Floor Curing Some plant operators subject the meal to a curing process before sacking. This consists of spreading the material to a depth of about 6 inches over a suitable surface for a 24-hour period. During this time the meal is turned at intervals, after which it is ready for sacking. This additional treatment supposedly gives the meal a lighter, better color and removes any possibility of its caking in the sack because of '' sweating.'' The spreading is accomplished by a reversible screw conveyor run- ning the length of the curing room, where numerous trap or sliding doors along its length permit the material to be deposited on the floor below. After curing is completed, the meal is shoveled into a movable accessory conveyor to enter the overhead convej^or, whence it is taken to the sacking discharge. Some few years ago spreading was a general procedure in all plants, but the advent of more efficient dryers has largely removed the necessity of floor Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appea
