Grain Silo Accessories

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.

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.

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.

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.
