While strolling along the Santa Fe Ave in Vernon the other day a big noise attracted my attention. A truck was unloading plastic pellets from a hopper. I approached the two guys at the truck, identified myself and asked if I could do some photos. They were very kindly and provided permission to do some photos.
I could not ask any questions because it was extreme noisy and the work was almost completed (I might have had to do the conversation in Spanish language anyhow).

That is all of the very simple installation to unload from covered hopper to truck.
A permanent installation provides pipes to be ran into the top hatch of the covered hopper

A hose is attached and runs under the wire fence

to the installation at the end of the truck

That looks quite simple for an industry.
