SILOS SPAIN INSTALACIONES, S.L. - Grain Storage Systems

Farm silos are used for the storage of animal feed in livestock, poultry and pig farms. Our wide variety of high quality steel farm silos (farm bins) are protected by an innovative coating up to 10 times more resistant to environmental corrosion than traditional galvanisation. Our modular design with no welding or paint utilizes steel sheeting with a shallow corrugation in order to manage product stored with a tendency to stick on the wall sheets. We have green pre-lacquered silos available, which comply with the regulations on environmental impact that are in force in some areas.

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.

We primarily employ sheet metal with the cutting-edge ProMag metal coating in our product manufacturing. ProMag is a revolutionary alloy of aluminum, magnesium and zinc delivering exceptional protection in the harshest conditions and extending the material’s lifespan significantly. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, up to 10 times more than galvanised steel and nearly 5 times more than Z-600 galvanised steel (600gr/m2). Environmentally-friendly, it uses less zinc than pure zinc coatings so it is the most profitable alternative for the post-galvanisation process.

Our high yield strength stiffeners made in galvanised steel improve the weight of the silo which makes for easier assembly and optimises the silo behaviour against the action of external agents.

The wave design with a gentle radius means better silo cleaning improving material unloading without any residue remaining so products are not contaminated.

All of the means of access and maintenance on our silos have been designed for user safety and ergonomics and are designed pursuant to standard UNE-EN ISO 14122-2. For storage plants in extreme weather zones, we have roof protection systems that prevent the entrance of snow into the silo through the chimneys as well as any accumulation in susceptible areas. All of our silos feature protective elements to prevent birds from entering.

We install 8.8 quality bolts minimum on all of our silos and 3 different coatings, depending on the geographic needs. Saline environments: GEOMET bolts + sealer for 1000 h corrosion resistance in a salt spray chamber. Non-saline environments: bichromate bolts + sealer for 400-500 h corrosion resistance in a salt spray chamber. Upon request: hot-dip galvanised bolts with a minimum average coating thickness of 40-50 micras, depending on the galvanisation standard.

A galvanised corrugated steel water tank is a robust container designed to efficiently store water. Water tanks provide a practical solution to address water supply challenges and find applications across a wide range of industries, including irrigation, fire suppression, agricultural farming, and more. Our water tanks are specifically engineered to meet the demands of water storage for irrigation, catering to a variety of crops such as olives, wheat, cotton, and more. With their durable construction and effective design, these tanks ensure a reliable and convenient solution for your irrigation needs. Please note that our galvanised corrugated steel tanks are not intended for drinking water purposes. Choose our galvanised corrugated steel tanks for their durability and performance, ensuring a dependable water storage solution for your agricultural and irrigation projects.

"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."

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.
