That happens, but usually with inexperienced operators or of course never mind operators. When a hold comes to a fiish the operators do often stop-and-go pooring in order that the dust can settle and they can see and poor again,,but generally speaking most operators doing a good job by not totally over pooring

Correct Capt Ted..but sometimes the remote operator mishandle due to limited view maybe dust or too fast rate by CCR, the cargo will be like mountain and hatch can't close..i have many experience that Shovel by man power the final solutions..:) but normally for big SF cargo and 100 pc capacity..

The operator is not up there, at least I never saw it on grain elevators. They usually have a remote "belly-shop" and standing somewhere on deck at the hatch coaming with view onto the cargo and the wind behind them !!!!. From top they would see nothing,,never mind how well ventilated !!!

Grain dust is not very pleasant Husni, hopefully the operator's cabin is well ventilated.
