Basic Information on Grain Silo

The bottom bears the whole grain silo, and the main structure of the silo forms to the square steel, and angle steel. Because of the large cabin, in order to transport easily, we divide the silo bottom into four sections and each angle iron and bolt are connected, which can be removed easily.

Good ventilation can not only reduce the moisture in the food, but also reduce the temperature, in order that the grains can reach industrial production indicators. Therefore, the ventilation design is a key matter. The grain silo we designed is good for natural ventilation, which has a round vents in the top storage silo, making air exchange.

The research has shown that in the low temperature, coming from summer to autumn, the silo should keep two or three ventilations, which can last many nights with four to ten hours every time. While, in winter, the silo’s temperature can keep the same, until to spring, the temperature can raise. The practice has indicated that using the best steel silo, the quality of the food still keep great as before.

The design requirements in different areas:
1. In the main ports, transportation hubs, major railway construction and other food distribution centers, in order to use higher levels of mechanization, we prefer to choose squat silo and steel silo, supplemented by large span warehouse.

2. The grain silo which should connect with the World Bank can be as a silo that is suitable for bulk grain storage.

3. The Northeast and North China may have more choices of steel silos, in order to accelerate the progress of construction. The main rice producing in the south should be mainly used warehouse or reinforced concrete squat silos.

4. Creating a new silo is mainly based on external conditions on whether it can allow bulk warehouse-type, while in the design, we should allow the implementation of "scattered" , and the expansion project should be chose based on the original position and layout.
