Bulk grain storage needs much other proper care and attention apart from the storage area, which includes the protection from insects, rodents, efficient management, prevention from moisture, and activities like loading unloading. The moisture level of the place should not exceed more than 14% and should also get protected from heavy rains and the surrounding air. If it fails, it can lead to the rise of molds and declining in rice quality.
So storage plays a keep role in maintaining the hygiene by keeping it into a clean area and removing the dust. One should also place rats traps and cat deeter to control them with continuous inspection and application of pest control. In most parts of Asia, rice is stored in woven jute bags of 40-80 kg depending upon the storage size, which is commonly known as a stack. They are kept under the shed with a distance of 1 m from each. Let us know more about Bulk Grain Storage in this article.
Types of storage
Vacuum Storage in Plastic Bags.
Nowadays, many countries practice storing stored mills rice in bags that are infused with chemical residues such as phosphine, insecticides, and carbon dioxide. The vacuum storage bags are a type of shrink wrap which consumes oxygen leading to the death of insects. Bulk systems handle the pest control more efficiently with the help of heat generation released from the vapour. This happens during the day time when the roof gets heated, and humidity decreases. The addition of fan also helps in evacuating the air.
Passive Aeration
In this procedure, passive aerationmetal pipes are installed vertically in a silo by storage silo project consultant. This results in no heating effect in the sidewalls and also neutralizes the air movement. These silo has 20-2 (ooo) ton capacity, and allows secure sealing for fumigation, ultimately resulting in less wastage and solving the problems of hot spots.
Refrigerated bulk storage
In some parts of Europe, the paddy is stored in refrigerators, which restricts the cold grain from absorbing humidity and condense the moisture. Some Storage Silo Consultants also practice refrigerating cold air into silos.
