Rent (heap)
A rent (from Latin mēta "cone"; regional friction ) describes a certain form of storage of bulk goods .
properties
Rents can be piled up in a controlled manner and form stable heaps . The weight of the pile can easily be estimated via the volume and density via the simple shape. Irregular heaps tend to be unstable (landslides) and do not have simple geometric shapes, which makes it difficult to estimate the volume and weight.
Areas of application
In the mining and metallurgical industry , large amounts of ore or coal are often stored in the form of rents; A similar form of storage on a larger scale is the heap .
In waste management , compost waste is heaped up in heaps to ensure optimal composting .
In the earthworks , the removed topsoil is stored in heaps. The height or the width of the heaps is limited, so that the topsoil is not overly compacted and the soil organisms contained therein do not perish. In the Bavarian-Swabian region, this form of top floor storage is also referred to as clever (from mhd . Slouwe (f.) "Trace, track", later used for thick rows of hay before loading).
Horticulture and agriculture
In horticulture , rents are used for winter storage of fruit and vegetables , for example root vegetables such as carrots , potatoes , cabbages , but also apples . Often these are double-walled wooden boxes in which the fruits are stored together with sand , peat or straw , protected from light and cold. The fruits can be kept for months. The prerequisite is that only perfect specimens (without rotten spots) are rented: A rotten fruit can spoil the entire rented stock. As a rule, the fruits are not or only roughly cleaned of adhering earth, as this earth crust makes the surfaces less sensitive to mold , among other things .
In agriculture , sugar beets in particular are piled up in long rows at the edge of the field, known as beet piles, immediately after harvest . Depending on the weather, the beets are often covered with straw, less often with earth or tarpaulin so that no frost can penetrate them. If the beets are then needed in the sugar factory , they are picked up for further processing with a beet cleaning loader and then brought from the field with trucks or tractors and trailers.
Diemen were set up for field storage of dry fodder .
Underground heaps are called storage pits .
