Grain Storage Silos

Efficient post-harvest handling of rice ensures food security. Keep rice clean, dry, and undamaged during storage. Factors to consider: -Moisture content: Aim for ≈ 25% at harvest. -Temperature: High temps promote fungi growth and oxidation. -Storage period: Shorter is better; clean grain before storage. -General condition: Check for broken seeds, impurities, and more. Post-harvest processes include reception, cleaning, drying, and storage. To maintain quality: -Reception: Analyze heat, moisture, and impurities. Use insect control measures and an aspiration system. -Cleaning: Install an integrated system with a magnet separator, drum sieve, grain precleaner, grain cleaner, and buffer silos. Ventilation and exhaust fans are crucial. -Drying: Reduce moisture to safe levels. Prevent discoloration, loss of germination, freshness, and breakage. -Storage: Popular options are steel silos, concrete silos, warehouses, and bag silos. Optimize storage with proper management.

"Storing wood pellets in metal silos is efficient and practical. To ensure optimal storage, consider: Storage Capacity: Calculate needs and select an appropriately sized silo to avoid shortages or excess. Silo Design: Choose a hopper silo on structure, considering shape, material, and strength for safety. Filling System: Use interior chutes to prevent pellet breakage during filling. Thermal Insulation: Install insulation for consistent temperature and to prevent condensation. Ventilation: Ensure proper air circulation to prevent gas buildup and microorganism growth. Humidity Control: Maintain low humidity levels to preserve pellet quality. Extraction System: Use efficient equipment for smooth pellet transfer. Fire Safety: Implement fire detection and extinguishing systems. These considerations ensure safe and efficient wood pellet storage in metal silos, preserving their quality and optimizing their use as an energy source."

According to the FAO, 20% of the grain harvested in the world is lost due to the proliferation of fungi and insects, which is why within our product range we offer systems for correct grain conditioning, which guarantees a quality product without losses. We offer the following conditioning systems: Cleaning systems To remove dust, debris, stones, organic material, metals and any element other than the grain to be stored, resulting in a clean product that will maintain its quality over time. Grain cleaning equipment we offer: Pneumatic pre-cleaner with rotary disc up to 80 t/h Pneumatic Pre-cleaner with internal inverted cone up to 320 t/h Screen precleaner up to 320 t/h Dust extraction systems throughout the process (depending on the installation). Drying systems The grain coming from the harvest has a high degree of humidity, so – once clean – it must undergo a drying process before being stored to prevent fungal proliferation or the germination of grains.

Grain silo accessories have different functions and may help to improve the efficiency, safety and effectiveness of grain storage and handling operations. We offer a full line of grain silo accessories to fit your needs and increase your project profitability.The slide is an inner conduit situated on the roof and wall of the silo to make the product slide down homogeneously to prevent breakage during loading (of the silo). Level sensors We offer instruments that are able to measure the product level at fixed points or continuously. We manufacture supports for the different options as well as for a completely integrated system. Thermometry systems Silos Spain offers a grain temperature and moisture measuring, monitoring and control system for the inside of the silo.
