Alternative uses of the word 'Stillage'

[edit]

I would like to suggest that this article could be opened-up slightly to reflect the use of the term 'stillage' in the context of metal containers used to hold and transport components around factories. All opinions and comments appreciated.

Stillage

[edit]

A Stillage can be of many forms,yet used for similar reasons. A Stillage is mainly to transport goods without the need to load & unload the product being carried. Using a Stillage saves time & less chance of damage. A Stillage is well used throughout the glass industry, being shaped like an "A" the glass is lent inward then strapped to the Stillage ready for transport. The Stillage is generally moved by a fork lift truck for loading onto a waggon, the Stillage can also have lifting eyes for site use were a fork lift truck may not have access then a crain can be used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by G A BOOTH (talkcontribs) 14:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Usage of the word to mean residue from fermentation

[edit]

Stillage is also used in industrial ethanol production to refer to the spent grains, unconverted sugars and starch, yeast cells, yeast metabolites, and other materials left over after the ethanol is stripped out. It would make sense to have either a section of this page, or a new page created, to discuss this meaning. 24.252.216.45 (talk) 20:36, 2 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
