How important is ventilation in the silo tank?

A: Why is silo ventilation required? B: Because stored raw material seeds such as corn, rice, and beans are still alive and have the ability to breathe and dehydrate, if they are planted they will still be able to grow. In addition, ventilation in the silo tank helps prevent moths and mold caused by heat and humidity. A: Why must ventilation in the silo tank be done? B: Reasons for ventilating the silo tank It is to keep the raw materials in a dry state. according to the desired conditions so that there is no fungus and insects to grow To manage constant humidity Manage the temperature evenly and creates maximum storage efficiency. However, the ventilation of the raw materials in the silo tank It does not make the properties of the raw material seeds better than before. But it will help maintain the existing properties of the raw material seeds for a longer time. A: When is it necessary to ventilate the inside of the silo tank? B: When wanting to adjust the temperature inside / outside so that it is not very different. Or adjust it to the same level (5-9 degrees) when a hot spot occurs inside the silo tank. A: What is the purpose of ventilation inside the silo tank? B: To maintain a uniform temperature of the corn kernels with an average temperature range of +/- 2° to 5° C during the day/night during […]

What is a Silo (SILO)

If talking about Feed mill or animal feed factory. It cannot be said of the silos. Because silos are considered the key to building an animal feed factory. Today let's get to know what a silo is. And what is its function? "Silo" according to the 1982 Royal Institute Dictionary means "a large building. Made from strong, durable materials. The interior has a moisture-proof and ventilation system. For temporarily storing agricultural products before exporting.” If explained more simply, a silo is a large tank used to contain grains such as corn, cassava, flour, rice bran, etc. In storing such large quantities of raw materials, storage conditions such as temperature must be controlled. and controlling humidity within appropriate criteria To control humidity so as not to damage raw materials. A dehumidifier (grain dryer) is installed inside the silo to prevent mold and microorganisms that may cause disease. Most silos are large round tanks and are usually made of stainless steel or galvanized steel. There are two types of silos: conical silos (hopper silos) and flat-bottomed silos (flat silos). Both silos Both types have similar working principles. and there will be a conveyor belt (conveyor)
