Paddy steel silo is a common type of silo used to store paddy. Its main purpose is to protect paddy for a long time and prevent it from being affected by moisture, temperature, insect damage and other factors. Paddy steel silos are usually made of galvanized steel sheets, which have high anti-corrosion properties. At the same time, the steel silos have good sealing performance and can also be equipped with relevant ventilation equipment to ensure good ventilation in the silo. Paddy steel silos are widely used in agriculture, food processing, grain trade and other fields, playing an important role in ensuring market grain supply and improving grain storage management levels.
There are Several Reasons for Using Steel Silos to Store Paddy:
Protect the quality of paddy: The steel silo has high sealing and moisture-proof properties, which can effectively prevent dust, moisture, pests and other external factors from contaminating and damaging the paddy, and protect the quality and taste of the paddy.
Improve storage efficiency: Steel silos can store paddy on a large scale, saving space and improving storage efficiency. Compared with traditional bulk grain storage, steel silos can use space more effectively, making paddy stacking more orderly and compact, and increasing storage capacity.
Convenient management and monitoring: Steel silos can be installed with sensors and monitoring systems to monitor the temperature, humidity, gas concentration and other parameters of the paddy in real time, detect problems in a timely manner and take corresponding measures to ensure the safety and stability of the paddy during storage.
Extend the storage period: Steel silos can provide suitable environmental conditions required for paddy, control the humidity and temperature in the storage air, and extend the storage period of paddy. At the same time, the steel silo can also be ventilated as needed to maintain the freshness of the paddy.
When Using Steel Silos to Store Paddy, You Need to Pay Attention to the Following Matters:
Moisture-proof treatment: The humidity of the paddy storage environment has a great impact on the quality of the paddy. Therefore, before storage, it is necessary to ensure that the inside of the steel silo is dry to avoid water accumulation or water seepage. Moisture-proof treatment measures can be taken, such as basic waterproofing and sealing treatment.
Control temperature: Paddy is prone to insect damage and mildew in high temperature environments, so the temperature in the paddy silo needs to be controlled. The steel silo can be equipped with ventilation equipment to provide timely ventilation and cooling to keep the paddy within a suitable temperature range.
Regular inspection: Regularly check the paddy in the steel silo to see if there are any problems such as insect damage, mildew, etc. If problems are discovered, take timely measures to prevent them from spreading and affecting other paddy rice crops.
Keep clean: Clean the steel silo regularly, remove debris, residue, etc. in the silo, and keep the silo clean and tidy to prevent pests from breeding.
Management records: Establish grain storage management records to record storage time, temperature and humidity changes, ventilation conditions, etc., so that problems can be discovered and analyzed in a timely manner.
Steel silo structural safety inspection: Regularly ask professional institutions to inspect the structure and safety of the steel silo to ensure that its structure is safe and reliable and to reduce the risk of accidents.
