9     Bulk Storage Silos

Bulk storage silos in diameters from 3.5 to 22 meters and capacities of 5.0 - 5000.0 metric tonnes are provided suited to a wide range of bulk material handling applications.

The range includes bolt together and continuously formed construction incorporating materials options of high carbon steel, galvanized steel, aluminium, plastic coated steels in material thickness from 1.5mm - 4mm.

The continuous forming principle is characterized by:
* Automated manufacturing process for assured quality.
* Formed joint ensures a very effective seal and extreme rigidity to the wall section.
* Efficient erection process providing optimum economics.

Complete installations incorporating bulk unloading systems, mechanical handling, screeners, magnetic separators and dust filter collectors are supplied to provide an economic arrangement.

Optional features, which are available to meet specific applications, include:
 

Drying Systems
The range of continuous flow tower dryers
are suited to varying capacity needs and 
product drying characteristics for the 
drying treatment of all kinds of grain and 
seed to ensure safe storage of these 
products over long periods.

Level Indicating Systems
High quality capacitor or paddle type level
sensors are installed to enable process 
automation, alarms and operating 
convenience and efficiency.
 


 

Automated Control Systems
The automated control systems, through
electro-mechanical operational units fitted
to the diverter valves, slide gate valves in 
combination with motion sensors, level 
sensors and limit switches enables 
advanced automated operation of the 
complete installation for reliable and 
convenient system management.

Temperature Measuring Systems
The TMS automatically measures the
temperature at varying levels within the 
silo. The recorded temperatures are 
accumulated, displayed and printed to 
enable complete product control. The 
system is equipped with audible and visual
alarm functions, which help to minimize 
losses due to oxidation and unduly high 
temperature within the stored product.

Fumigation Systems
Efficient in silo fumigation systems may be
fitted to control insects and prevent likely 
mould growth from insect damaged 
grain/seed.


 
Grain Tech Engineering is in a position to supply clients with silos of all types and specification together with site foundation preparation and construction details, process design, manufacture, design and supply of the control system, installation, commissioning and training of operational personnel.
