Grain is the essential element to feed the world and silos help in storing it. If you own a grain mill industry then silos must be your basic need. Silos are used in grain mill industry for the bulk storage of grain. They are also used to store coal, cement, carbon black, woodchips, food products and sawdust. It increases the storage life of the grains by providing it protection from the elements.
Silos are of three types i.e. sealed silos, Silo bags and Aerated silos.
1. Sealed Silos
This is one of the best kinds of silos in terms of insect control. It is very important to control insects otherwise they will damage grains and excrete moisture that can cause molding. Hence, purchasing a sealed silo is a worthy investment.
2. Silo Bags
Silo bags are mostly used to store the wet grains. It provides UV protection to the grains. It is made up of three-layer films.
3. Aerated Silos
An Aerated silo is used to store fine powders. By pumping the air in the bottom of the silo, the material is aerated in it which causes it to act like fluid.
Advantage of Modern Silos
Silos are the vital elements for the entire grain storage system. Modern silos are designed in a way that can provide the full proof protection to the grain. They also support monitoring equipment to track the temperature and quality of the grains. Metal silos play an ample role in farming industry as they have the capacity to handle a throng of products. The grain can be unloaded easily by removing the bottom of the silos. The machine that is used in this process is known as unloaders. For keeping the contents of the silo fresh, the food must be removed within several time intervals. Vertical silos and horizontal silos are used to store the grain and both of them are of very fine quality. Vertical silos are specially designed to store large amounts of grains and if you have medium capacity requirements them you must go for horizontal silos.
