How to Store Soybean Properly - Galvanized Corrugated Bolted Silo

 Introduction to Soybeans

Soybeans are an important crop and source of protein, and a major dietary source for many people. Soybeans are rich in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals and are used to make tofu, soy milk, bean cakes and other foods. They are also an important raw material for livestock and poultry feed. Soybeans are prone to mold and deterioration under humid or inappropriate temperature conditions, leading to a decrease in quality. This can lead to a reduction in the nutritional value of soybeans and may even lead to food safety issues. Proper storage and management of soybeans is important to ensure grain security, reduce economic losses, and protect the environment. In order to ensure the quality of soybeans, the storage link is particularly critical. As a modern storage facility, steel silo has the advantages of moisture-proof, insect-proof, fire-proof, fresh-keeping, etc., and is very suitable for storing soybeans.


 
Soybean Storage Conditions

Temperature: The storage temperature of soybeans should be maintained between 10-15 degrees Celsius. High temperatures can cause soybeans to age too quickly and become moldy, while low temperatures can easily cause condensation.
Humidity: The storage humidity of soybeans should be controlled between 60-70%. Too high humidity can cause soybeans to become moldy, while too low humidity can cause soybeans to lose water and deteriorate.
Ventilation: Ensure that the steel silo system where soybeans are stored has good ventilation conditions to maintain air circulation and balanced humidity, which helps prevent the soybeans from getting moldy and damp.
Insect and mildew prevention: Take certain insect and mildew prevention measures, such as keeping the grain storage environment clean, regularly cleaning and disinfecting storage facilities, and using certain chemical agents or biological control methods to prevent pests and mold.

Why Choose Galvanized Corrugated Bolted Steel Silo to Store Soybeans?

Common soybean storage methods are horizontal warehouse storage and steel silo storage. The advantages of horizontal warehouse storage are convenient sampling and easy to grasp changes in soybean quality. The disadvantages are low indoor visibility, high dust content, and poor operating environment. Therefore, you must pay attention to safety when using forklifts. At the same time, land utilization is low, storage capacity is small, and economic benefits are poor. Soybean steel silos are increasingly becoming the preferred silo type for temporary storage of raw grains in soybean processing companies due to their high land utilization rate, high degree of automation, easy construction, short construction period, flexible process configuration, and easy management. Most soybean steel silos are galvanized corrugated bolted steel silos.



Features of SRON Galvanized Corrugated Bolted Steel Silo

Corrosion Resistance: The galvanized steel plate has strong corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of the atmosphere, soil, water and other environmental factors, giving the silo a longer service life.
Stable Structure: The corrugated bolted steel silo uses high-strength galvanized corrugated sheets, which has a more stable structure and can better withstand the weight of soybeans and the impact of the external environment, ensuring the safe storage of soybeans.
Quick Installation: The corrugated bolted steel silo adopts a modular design, has a simple structure, and is easy and fast to install. It can greatly shorten the construction period and improve construction efficiency.
Flexibility: The galvanized corrugated bolted steel silo can be flexibly assembled and disassembled according to storage needs, and the capacity can be expanded or reduced as needed, making it more flexible to adapt to different scales and changing soybean storage needs.
Thermal Insulation: In some special environments (high temperature/low temperature), the corrugated bolted steel silo can also add a thermal insulation layer to ensure the quality and safety of stored items.


 
Precautions When Storing Soybeans

Full Drying: Soybeans should be fully dried before storage, and the moisture content should be controlled below 12% to avoid mildew. Drying can be done in the sun or using mechanical equipment to ensure that the soybeans reach the proper humidity before storage.
Ventilation and Ventilation Equipment: It is necessary to ensure that there are good ventilation facilities in the steel silo to maintain air circulation and humidity balance. Ventilation equipment can reduce the air humidity in the silo and prevent soybeans from getting damp and moldy.
Prevent Pests and Mold: Use well-sealed storage facilities and thoroughly clean and disinfect silos before storage. Check your soybeans regularly to ensure they are free of pests and mold.
Regular Inspection: Regularly check the storage conditions of soybeans, including temperature, humidity and appearance, to ensure that the storage quality of soybeans is good.‌

Large-diameter Concrete Silo for Coal Storage

图片
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

图片
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
