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.

Galvanised sheet metal silos offer a versatile, cost-effective, and hygienic solution for grain storage. We provide various types of grain silos, including flat-bottom, hopper, truck load, and farm silos, tailored to specific storage needs. Our silos are designed to store grains, seeds, and pelletized products while adhering to industry standards like EUROCODE and ANSI. Key features of our grain silos include: -High-quality galvanised steel construction (S350GD) with a minimum Z600 coating. -Variable wall ring thicknesses and finishes -Stiffeners with a minimum galvanisation of Z-600, ensuring durability. -Easy access with inspection doors for maintenance and safety-focused stairs and catwalks. -Reinforced roofs. -Roof chimneys. -Inspection windows. -Wind rings. Our silos are adaptable, cost-effective, and designed to meet diverse grain storage needs.

"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."

To support loading equipment and easier silo plant maintenance and operability, there are different types of catwalks available depending on the span, distance to the ground and load supported. The design is modular with bolted joints. They are designed for people to pass through or as a support for mechanisation up to 2,000 T/h. The dimensions range from 80 mm to 3500 mm wide with an anti-slip floor and protective elements pursuant to standard UNE-EN ISO 14122. The available catwalk options are: Open, tunnel closed, with lattice or laminate structure.

Grain silos are not isolated structures. They have steel structures that allow their support or the support of the handling equipment, structures that allow access for maintenance, the connection with the machinery or with other installations within the facility, among many other functions. -Catwalks: For equipment support and silo maintenance -Cap Support: Sits atop the silo roof and supports the catwalk, with variations based on machinery type and performance. -Lateral Support: suitable for light machinery in silos up to 24m in diameter. -Rest Platforms facilitates the supervision of connections between machinery and the silo. -Support Towers are designed to bear catwalk loads and transfer them directly to the foundation. -Elevator Towers offer stability, easy access to the catwalks and allow safer elevator maintenance.
