Silos Advantages

1. Requires Lesser Ground Space

Being vertical and very tall structures as compared to other grain storage options, silos hold the footprint on land is considerably smaller. It obviates the necessary spending on land and hence is a better option. Even if the land is already available – it can be used for other purposes.

2. Greater Control

Centralized storage of grains at one location imparts greater control over conditions more effectively. It facilitates grain storage at a certain temperature free from insects and other pests thus maintaining the grain in an optimal condition over a longer time. Aeration in a tightly sealed silo is also a simple, straightforward step to ensure minimum pests.

3. Convenient Loading & Depositing

It’s also easier to collect and transport grain to and from a silo. Not only is it there a severe cut in costs but its also more efficient as compared to other alternatives. A relatively inexpensive grain vacuum/ auger, for example, enables grain to be filled/taken out rapidly reducing costs.

4. Reliable Longevity

Apart from being cost-effective, a  well maintained, air-tight grain silo lasts several decades bringing down the effective costs of ownership. It also offers the ideal conditions for grain storage throughout this period. Many silos last more than  25  years before necessitating major repairs.

STORAGE SILO – Store Grain To Reduce Post-Harvest Losses And Protect Its Quality

Nextech solutions, India’s leading rice mill plant manufacturer offer storage silos solutions that prove to be the most efficient and effective and protect the grains from being spoiled by rain and pest infestation.

Storage Silos are an improvement all other benchmarks in grain storage and allow one of the most efficient methods for storing grains in bulk quantities. Not only do Silos allow storage in massive quantities but, as they possess such a tiny footprint in space, they act as a competitive advantage by lowering the total costs. This cuts the price of real estate and space that has risen steeply making milling and other grain activities nearly uneconomical with the traditional ways. A  vertical method of storing grains, as compared to the traditional horizontal way, seems to make more economic sense. Whilst the silos save on space, but more importantly, they act as a competitive advantage by preventing a spillage, obviating the use of gunny bags and preventing unnecessary worry about the weather factor.

As India’s leading 360-degree Rice Mill Consultant & Storage Silo Consultant, a concept to commissioning agent as well as a manufacturer, Nextech solutions, offer solutions for each stage of rice milling process providing solutions that range from processing to storage- including silo storage. As one of the top-notch Rice Mill Engineers & Designers, not only do we offer Rice Milling Plant Layout Design but also customized silos for effective storage of food. This ensures that millers, investors and farmers can store and protect their grain from being spoiled by rain and pest infestation and hence works out to be the most cost-effective solution in the long run.

Storage Silos for grains operate by creating a pressurized area within a cylindrical container- with a closed top and a sealed bottom – these prevent any external agent including whether to intrude. The bases are usually sealed or dug into an organic matter-like soil mixture while the closed top is generally metallic or non-metal. Wheat, rice, and pulses can be stored inside these silos which provide excellent protection in the narrow space for long periods. Storage silos are used and recommended by various rice mill and flour mills. As your Rice Mill Engineers & Designers, Nextech also ensures that  Grain output can also be stored in steel silos from the time of being harvested to up till a year.

Nextech solutions, India’s leading Rice Mill Plant manufacturer offer storage silos solutions that prove to be the most efficient and effective and protect the grains from being spoiled by rain and pest infestation. Farmers that store their harvested crops in silos experience improved food security, greater consistency in grain quality, and reduced waste that leads to enhanced agricultural income.

Customized-Silos that range from processing to storage enable farmers to store grains are often considered an expensive form of food storage but for numerous small farmers, it has proven to be very efficacious and feasible only for storing large quantities of food, metal silos have also proved useful for storing grains. In India, we offer both individual and group silos supported by platforms, ladders, and doors customized to customer needs.  The size, shape, wall thickness, flow direction are all customized according to the type and quantity of food that the silo is supposed to store.

Silo for Food and Grain Storage Manufacturers in India even provides customized metal silos. The first thing which you should take into account when planning to get a silo customized is that the type and quantity of a crop that it is going to hold.

Why Silos Are The Best Form Of Bulk Storage

“Nextech solutions, India’s leading rice mill plant manufacturer offer solutions that range from processing to storage.” When it comes to storage in agriculture, Silos provide an efficient method of storing bulk quantities of grain.

“Nextech solutions, India’s leading Rice Mill Plant manufacturer offer solutions that range from processing to storage.” When it comes to storage in agriculture, Silos provide an efficient method of storing bulk quantities of grain. Silos were used in ancient Greece specifically for the purpose of storing grains that were used over a period of time. The steep rise in the price of land has virtually made it impossible to keep buying land space in order to store food grain that is produced. Rather than opting for a horizontal method of storing it is far more sensible to go vertically. Hence, the usefulness of storing food grains in bulk in silos. One can save space, prevent spillage of grains, avoid the need for gunny bags and not worry about climate changes with silos.

Agricultural silos work by creating a pressurized area within a cylindrical container; they have a closed top and a sealed bottom. The bases are sealed with organic matter such as soil whereas the closed top could be of a variety of metal or non-metal stuff. Wheat, rice, pulses can be stored inside these silos which provide good protection in the narrow space for long periods. They are used and recommended by various rice mill and flour mills. Grain Products can be stored in steel silos from the time of being harvested to up till a year.

The temperature inside the silos has to be regulated to assure the grains don’t get damaged; that includes proper aeration to control the amount of humidity inside the closed container. Another important thing is to safeguard the grains from insects, chemical control within the silos is required to protect it from insects and other rodents. Being the leading rice mill plant manufacturer in the country, Nextech provides silos which are bulk storage systems for various types of food grains.
