Standardised silos have 3 - 8 times higher grain loss rates than customised solutions. As an industry - leading customised grain silo provider, HKB has designed differentiated silo systems for 37 countries. This article will explore the science behind customised grain silos.
Wheat/Corn: Equip with multi - point temperature probes (spacing ≤3m) to monitor grain pile temperature in real - time and prevent localised heating and mould.
Rice: Add a condensation - prevention layer to the silo wall to control relative humidity below 75% and avoid germination due to moisture migration.
Seed Grain: Integrate a nitrogen - circulation system to reduce oxygen concentration below 1% and ensure a germination rate of over 95%.
Humid Areas: Increase the roof slope from 30° to 45° to boost rainwater flow speed by 70% and prevent water accumulation and leakage.
Windy Areas: Deepen the wall corrugation from 25mm to 40mm to enhance wind - pressure resistance to 2.5kPa and ensure structural stability.
Seismic Zones: Use flexible foundation connectors allowing ±150mm horizontal displacement to effectively withstand seismic shocks.
Supports free combinations of diameters 6 - 30m and heights 10 - 45m to meet varying storage needs. Expansion retrofitting takes only 30% of the time of building a new silo, significantly saving time and cost.
Input 12 parameters like grain type, storage volume, and climate. AI generates 3 optimised plans with ±2% accuracy, ensuring scientific and economical design.
Validate silo performance in different environments through 18 tests, including CFD fluid simulation and finite element analysis, ensuring the feasibility of the solution.
HKB's customised grain silos meet diverse storage needs. Through technological innovation and efficient service, they help reduce operating costs and enhance grain storage safety.wide.
