21. Steinsilo (tidligare fyllkasse)

Bygd etter brann i 1937, til lagring av stein. Den blei støypt på 24 timar. Steinen blei transportert frå Loddsynken på eit transportbelte. Det gjekk eit kortare transportbelte vidare til Reima (skeidehuset) og konknusaren. Stein frå siloen blei nytta når det var problem med drifta nede i gruva. Tidlegare blei steinen lagra i ei tømra fyllkasse, holdt saman av kraftige jernstenger. Fyllkassa brann både i 1929 og i 1937.

Ore silo (1937)

Earlier there was a storage bin.

The silo was built for storing of ore after a fire in 1937. The concrete work was done in 24 hours. Ore was transported from the mine to the silo on a conveyor belt.

A shorter belt went from the silo to the cone crusher and Reima (the sorting house). Stored ore from the silo was processed at times of breaks in ore mining. 

Ore was earlier stored in a wooden storage bin, were the timber were held together by iron rods.

The wooden storage bin was destroyed twice by fire, in 1929 as well as 1937.
