Why Use Steel Silo to Store Grain?

Features of Steel Silo

The steel silo has the characteristics of light weight, low foundation requirements, low cost, short construction period, good airtight moisture resistance, wide range of use, and convenient management; its supporting system is relatively complete, and the degree of mechanization and automation is high, which can meet the safety of grain storage and process operation performance, and meet the requirements of the development of grain silo. Because of its deep grain layer and thin silo wall, it is greatly affected by the external environment, but reasonable technology, supporting systems and effective grain storage management measures ensure the safety of steel silo storage grains. At the same time, the bolted silo also has the characteristics of detachable relocation, convenient disassembly and replacement of components, expandable capacity (for example, the original silo can be increased in height or diameter, etc.), and it is convenient to enter the silo for maintenance or sampling of stored materials. Therefore, the steel silo is becoming more and more accepted and used by the majority of users.


Steel Silo Storage Grain Technology

The grain layer in the steel silo is deep and the resistance is large. The moisture and temperature in the silo change in a gradient, which plays a certain role in grain metabolism, so it is not easy to dissipate heat and moisture, the ventilation airflow resistance is large, and the gas is not easy to penetrate the grain pile during fumigation; the silo has a large capacity.  The large amount of grain in and out of the silo is prone to dust explosions, causing personal casualties and serious economic losses. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a reasonable steel silo storage grain process, that is, the safe storage of grain in the steel silo should have supporting systems and processes such as grain entry and exit, ventilation, fumigation, grain condition monitoring and control, cleaning, dust removal, loading and unloading, silo dumping, and cooling. Grain in and out, ventilation, fumigation, and grain monitoring and control are necessary means of ensuring safe grain storage. Cleaning, dust removal, loading and unloading, silo dumping, and cooling systems are auxiliary means to ensure safe grain storage. 


Grain Storage Safety

The investigation found that some steel silo users have taken cleaning measures, proper ventilation and better management measures, and the wheat has been stored for more than 3 years without any bad grains. Due to the lack of supporting technology and management, some users suffered serious insect pests and bad grain accidents within 6 months of grain storage. After grain storage investigation and practice, it has been proved that long-term grain storage in steel silo with good technological performance is safe, and is more and more recognized by the majority of users.


Grain Storage Efficiency

The steel silo has the advantages of light weight, low foundation requirements and low cost. The total investment cost is 20% to 40% lower than that of other types of silos of the same capacity; the construction period is short, an average of half of the construction period of concrete silos, the construction is basically not affected by factors such as seasons and weather, and the user can quickly achieve good economic benefit. The steel silo has a high degree of mechanical automation, and its management tends to be scientific, rational, and networked, which can effectively reduce operating costs.

Large-diameter Concrete Silo for Coal Storage

Image
During the coal washing process, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, various types of coal storage silos need to be built, including raw coal silos, clean coal silos, etc. In recent years, the environmental protection pressure on coal preparation plants has increased day by day. In the new development environment, large-diameter coal storage silos can not only significantly increase the capacity of   coal storage silos , but also have the advantages of good structural integrity, long application time, and low maintenance. This plays an important role in promoting the development of coal preparation plants. Concrete Silo Introduction Coal silos are silos used to store coal in industrial buildings such as cement, steel, and electricity. The  concrete silo  is a deep silo with a diameter of up to 25m and a simple silo capacity of 20,000 m3. It adopts a structural form supported by reinforced concrete walls and internal columns. The bottom of this silo is flat, because the s

Steel Silo - Best Way for Paddy Rice Storage

Image
Introduction of Paddy Rice Paddy rice is the most important and oldest food in Oryza genus. It can be ground into white rice for human consumption, and can also be used to make wine, or made into rice flour, rice bran, radish cake and other foods. Paddy rice is the staple food of more than half of the world's population. Therefore, many food processing factories, grain reserves and breweries need to store a large amount of paddy rice for use. However, the storage of paddy rice needs to meet conditions such as dryness, low temperature, and airtightness, otherwise the paddy is easy to mold and deteriorate. How to store paddy rice safely has become a concern of many manufacturers. Precautions for Paddy Rice Storage In order to ensure the quality of paddy rice, the moisture of paddy rice should be controlled before storage, and the impurities in paddy should be removed. Ventilate and cool down in time after storing paddy rice into the silo to prevent condensation and insect damage. Moi
