Cereal storage : the grain silo

What is a grain silo ?

A silo facilitates good grain storage (wheat, corn, rye, rapeseed, soybean …) as the silo respects hygiene rules. The steel silo protects the grain against weather, pests and diseases.A silo allows the control of humidity and temperature which preserves the quality of the gain for long periods of time.
Flat grain storage is more vulnerable to pests and infestations.
Thus the silo both stores and improves the quality of the stored grain to respond to market demand and the required regulations.

Silos are more efficient than storage buildings :
– Health and safety of employees.
– Food safety of consumers.
– The management of the grain/product.
– The fight against pest and infestations.
– Respect of the environment.
– Quality and longevity of grain storage.
Privé silos are cylindrical as this is the best design for optimal strength for storage. On the other hand grain that is flat stored spreads and needs a far larger space.
Privé silos are manufactured from galvanised steel which is resistant to corrosion, allowing Privé silos to be durable and cost effective to maintain. Privé silos are filled from the top with grain transportation equipment : bucket elevator, conveyor belt, air pulse….

How to store and care for wheat to maintain its quality.

Grains are a living organism. With favourable conditions the grains will naturally germinate to form a new plant. The stored grain is an ecosystem.

The quality of the grain stored is a result of the grain itself and its environment.

Whatever the storage conditions, in the present of oxygen, the grains breath. The water content and the temperature of the grain influence the intensity of respiration which leads to a natural loss of material mass.
To limit the loss of dry matter and avoid germination the grain silo is the best solution.

The grain silo can be equipped with thermometry equipment to optimise ventilation.
