How Our Grain Storage Solutions (SILOS) Benefit the Agriculture Sector?
Grain Storage Solution (SILOS) are extremely beneficial to the agriculture business since their design allows for the storage of large amounts of grain in a small area. It is extremely beneficial in agricultural settings when storage space is limited.
Essae Digitronics has developed grain storage solutions based on decades of expertise and cutting-edge R&D that protect grains, enable safe operation, and enhance the efficiency of agribusiness.
- Grain Protection: Essae Grain Storage Solution is weather-resistant and offers long-term resilience as they are built of high-grade galvanized steel. They protect the grain from attacks by pests, diseases, and rodents.
- Temperature Control: Efficient temperature monitoring and control prevents spoilage of grains. Sufficient aeration is provided for optimising humidity within the silos. This enables the rice millers to maintain the quality of grains and offer better-quality rice to customers.
- Hopper and Flat Bottom: Essae Digitronics offers both hopper bottom and flat bottom silos, which may be chosen depending on the requirements of the milling industry. Hopper-bottom silos are more efficient in storage and discharge of grains thanks to their conical or funnel-shaped bottom. Flat-bottom silos, on the other hand, are less expensive, but they require sweep augers to release the grain completely. Flat-bottom silos, on the other hand, are suitable for storing large amounts of grain over time.
Specifications:
- Flat Bottom Silos: Capacity: 100 MT to 15000 MT, Diameters: 4 m to 40 m, Materials: 350 to 600 GSM galvanized steel (ASTM A 653 Class I). Fasteners: 10.9 grade Geomet 500 A plus.
- Hopper Bottom Silos: Capacity: 50 MT to 2000 MT, Diameters: 4 m to 12 m, Materials: 600 GSM galvanized steel (ASTM A 653 Class I). Fasteners: 10.9 grade Geomet 500 A plus.
Structural Features
The silo roof protects the grain from adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow, thereby preventing moisture buildup. This ensures the right quality and quantity of grains for processors.
The tall silo roof is accessible with safe and secure bolted ladders and platforms with safety cages and intermediate rest platforms. The silos are designed to withstand wind loads of 144 Kmph to 225 Kmph and seismic loads of 0.25 g/Zone V.
Advanced Handling and Conditioning: Essae grain storage solutions have efficient chain conveyors, bucket elevators, belt conveyors, and sweep augers (flat bottom bins). The chain conveyors are fitted with special bearings with oil seals that withstand harsh negative ambient conditions. A corrosion-proof galvanized steel structure with 300 GSM gives strength and durability to silos. Use of linear UHMWPE bearings helps reduce friction during chain movement. Grain monitoring is possible with windows on conveyors.
Essae grain storage solutions have perfectly designed bucket elevators fitted with heavy-duty roller bearings on drive heads and shafts. The removable drum, shaft connection, and rubber coating on the drum make installation and maintenance a simpler process. The belt conveyor system is powered by a single motor, and sweep augers help to thoroughly discharge the grains. Customers can choose between galvanised steel, painted steel, and stainless steel.
Automated systems keep track of temperature, humidity, and grain levels. This enables grain processors to more effectively manage their resources and reduce waste. Looking for Grain storage solutions (SILOS)? Contact us at www.essaedig.com.
