Pest Control Measures for Grain Silo

Globally, annual grain losses due to pests reach 12%-15%. Scientific pest control measure for grain silo can reduce risks by over 90%. By integrating physical barriers, biological control, and intelligent monitoring, a comprehensive pest-proof system is built.

3 Major Pest Invasion Routes and Prevention Technologies

Structural Gap Control

Risk Point: Gaps >1.5mm (e.g., silo doors, weld seams) allow pests like rice weevils to enter.

HKB Solution: Laser welding + EPDM sealing strips reduce gaps to <0.5mm, achieving EN 12285 Standard Grade A airtightness (leakage rate ≤0.5Pa/h).

Seed-borne Pest Egg Management

Pre-treatment Technology: Use HKB air-separation machines before storage to remove pest eggs and impurities (removal rate ≥99%).

Ventilation System Protection

Multi-layer Filtering Design: 60-mesh stainless steel insect-proof screens (pore size ≤0.25mm) + UV-light traps achieve over 98% pest-killing rate.

HKB's Core Pest Control Technology System

Inert Gas Circulation Pest-control System

Inject nitrogen to maintain oxygen levels <2% inside the silo. Achieve a 99.9% pest-killing rate within 48 hours. Compared to aluminum phosphide fumigation, it reduces chemical residue risks.

Intelligent Temperature-controlled Gradient Pest-control

Precisely raise the temperature to 55℃ and maintain it for 8 hours to kill heat-resistant pests (e.g., grain beetles). Energy consumption is <3.2kW·h/ton.

Nano-pest-repelling Coating Technology

Apply HKB NanoGuard® coating (with plant-based pest-repelling ingredients) to silo walls for over 6 years of continuous protection. It is environmentally friendly and leaves no residue.

IoT Pest Monitoring Network

Deploy infrared counters + AI image recognition to provide real-time alerts when pest density exceeds 2 heads/m³. Response time is less than 10 minutes.

Integrated Pest Management Strategy: Synergistic Multi-technology Approach

Effective pest control measure for grain silo requires a combination of methods to form a multi-dimensional protective network:

Chemical-Physical Integration

Optimized Circulation Fumigation: Use targeted aluminum phosphide application combined with silo airtightness improvement to reduce chemical usage by 30%.

Standardized Cleaning Management

Silo Cleaning and Disinfection Process: Use high-pressure steam (120℃) during the annual off-season to eliminate pest pupae and eggs.
