    A scientific selection of fumigation equipment for grain silo can reduce pest - related losses by over 90%. Based on global experience from over 300 grain silo projects, HKB will explain the scientific logic behind choosing automated fumigation equipment.

    4 Core Parameters for Selecting Fumigation Equipment

    Airtightness: The Foundation of Fumigation Effectiveness

    Pressure half - life ≥250 seconds: Through positive - pressure testing (initial pressure of 500Pa), the time for internal pressure to halve must exceed 250 seconds. This ensures effective retention of fumigant gas.

    Fan Airflow: Balancing Efficiency and Safety

    Matching formula: Airflow (m³/h) = Silo capacity (m³) × 0.3 - 0.5 (circulation factor).

    Recommended standard: For a 1000 - ton silo capacity, a blast - resistant fan with an airflow of ≥1000m³/h is needed. This ensures uniform gas distribution and concentration error <5%.

    Pipe Material: Ensuring Corrosion Resistance and Longevity

    316 stainless steel: Suitable for high - humidity, high - corrosion environments (e.g., coastal areas), with a lifespan of up to 15 years.

    Corrosion - resistant PVC - U: Reduces costs by 30%, suitable for dry areas (average annual humidity <60%), and can withstand temperatures from - 20℃ to 60℃.

    Control System: The Core of Intelligence

    IoT remote operation: Supports real - time monitoring of gas concentration and temperature - humidity via mobile phone or PC, and automatically adjusts circulation frequency.

    HKB's intelligent system can shorten fumigation time from the traditional 72 hours to 48 hours, reducing energy consumption by 25%.

    Added Value of Intelligent Control Systems

    When selection of fumigation equipment for grain silo, consider other aspects:

    Precise Concentration Management

    Real - time monitoring of phosphine concentration via infrared sensors, with fluctuations controlled within ±5ppm (national standard allows ±20ppm).

    Safety Early - Warning System

    Gas leak alarm threshold set at 0.3ppm (1/10 of OSHA safety standard), triggering automatic activation of ventilation systems.

    Data Analysis and Optimization

    The intelligent control system records data from each fumigation process. By analyzing this data, future fumigation operations can be optimized to improve efficiency and reduce resource waste. For example, the system can predict the optimal fumigation time and gas dosage based on historical data, further lowering operating costs.

    Pitfall - Avoidance Guide for Equipment Selection

    Avoid "One - Size - Fits - All" Equipment

    When selection of fumigation equipment for grain silo, different parameters should be selected for different grain. There is a 30% difference in fumigation parameters between wheat and rice, necessitating customized programs.

    Beware of Substandard Components

    Non - explosion - proof fans have a failure rate six times higher than dedicated equipment, posing explosion risks.
