How to Ensure the Safe Storage of Grain in Grain Silos?


Grain crops such as wheat, corn, and flour are the main food sources for humans and have great nutritional and economic value. Therefore, it is necessary to store grain safely. In order to ensure the quantity, quality and storage safety of grain, and to promote the development of grain storage facility construction and storage management, SRON follows the following requirements when designing and constructing grain silo systems.

General Requirements:

The grain silo should have good structural properties such as silo insulation and air tightness, use energy-saving and environmentally friendly building materials, and be equipped with advanced and applicable green grain storage technologies and processes, environmentally friendly and efficient incoming and outgoing storage silo and cleaning facilities and equipment, and adopt information technology , intelligent equipment to achieve stable and controllable grain conditions during storage, promote the quality and freshness of grain, and ensure long-term storage and freshness.

Silo Storage:

1.On the premise of meeting the quality requirements for grain storage, priority is given to steel silos with high mechanization and automation, small floor space, and good air-tightness.

2.The grain loading height of silo should be comprehensively determined based on factors such as structural safety, grain storage safety, entry and exit technology of silo, project cost, and operating safety.

3.Take effective thermal insulation measures according to different grain storage environments to prevent condensation on the inner surface of the silo enclosure structure.

4.The air tightness of the silo should meet or exceed the requirements of relevant standards. The silo roof, silo body, equipment holes and joints should be sealed and airtight using materials with good environmental protection and weather resistance.

Related Auxiliary Systems:

1.According to the different methods of receiving grain such as cars, trains, ships, etc., determine the process and equipment to meet the requirements for loss reduction and ensure efficient and smooth operations, personnel safety, and environmental friendliness.

2.The grain unloading and receiving operation should be equipped with an automatic unloading truck (ship) system to meet the requirements of different modes of receiving and unloading operations. Grain distribution operations should meet quantitative distribution requirements. Dust suppression equipment or dust suppression measures should be taken when charging and discharging the silo.

3.The conveying equipment should meet the requirements of low breakage and easy maintenance, the fixed conveying equipment should meet the fully enclosed requirements, and the mobile conveying equipment should adopt sealing measures;

4.It should be equipped with a ventilation and dust removal system, and set up dust explosion-proof, shock-absorbing and noise-reducing facilities;

5.The grain condition measurement and control system should have the function of detecting the temperature and humidity in the silo and the grain pile.

6.Intelligent ventilation should have temperature control and humidity adjustment functions.

7.Green comprehensive prevention and control of harmful organisms should use green control technologies or biological agents such as intelligent nitrogen controlled atmosphere, carbon dioxide controlled atmosphere, inert powder, spinosad, trapping, etc. to reduce or eliminate the use of chemical agents.

SRON's grain steel silo system meets the requirements of relevant standards and SRON can provide customized services for clients. If you are interested in our grain silo storage system, please contact us.

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
