Grain Silos
Grain storage silos, also called grain storage bins, are the efficient and economical facilities to handle grain: protection from insects and outside influences with convenient handling management.
What This Machine Does
Grain storage silos, also called grain storage bins, are the efficient and economical facilities to handle grain: protection from insects and outside influences with convenient handling management. TITAN supplies them as a system, where flat bottom silos, hopper bottom silos, powder silos, feed silos, bucket elevators, dust collectors and the storage control system are integrated rather than bought separately.
Key Benefits
- Storage, conveying, dust control and monitoring integrated into one system
- Engineering support from a team of more than 30 grain storage specialists
- Manufactured in a 9000 square metre factory in Hefei
- Flat bottom, hopper bottom, powder and feed silos from one supplier
- Heat retaining layer available for insulated grain storage
Problems It Solves
- Storage bought separately from the handling that fills and empties it
- Dust problems designed in because dust control was an afterthought
- No monitoring of what happens inside the silo during storage
- Several suppliers and no single responsibility at commissioning
Who It Is For
- Grain storage and handling operators
- Mills and feed plants adding storage
- Projects wanting one party for storage and handling
- Operators upgrading an existing silo site
Application Scenarios
- Turnkey grain storage and handling projects
- Storage added to an existing mill or feed plant
- Intake, storage and outloading built as one route
- Powder and feed storage alongside grain silos
Technical Features
- Flat bottom, hopper bottom, powder and feed silos in one product family
- Bucket elevators and conveying sized to the fill and discharge rates
- Dust collectors integrated into the handling route
- Grain storage control system with moisture and heat monitoring
- Optional heat retaining layer for insulated storage
Grain Silos Model Table
Figures below are taken from the TITAN model sheets. Where a figure depends on the crop or the contamination level it is stated that way rather than averaged.
| Silo types | Flat bottom, hopper bottom, powder and feed silos |
|---|---|
| Handling | Bucket elevators, conveyors, gates and dust collectors |
| Control | Grain storage control with moisture and heat monitoring |
| Insulation | Heat retaining layer available on all steel silos |
| Manufacturing | 9000 square metre factory in Hefei |
| Engineering | More than 30 grain storage solution specialists |
How This Machine Is Built
Quality Control
- Zinc coating weight specified on the plate, not left as a general galvanized claim
- Connecting holes sealed with age resistant and waterproof daub belts of aviation grade
- High strength bolts used with round galvanized steel washers at every joint
- Roof to sidewall connection sealed to keep stored product away from moisture
- Erection supervised through the bolting sequence by TITAN engineers
Materials And Wear Parts
- Hot dip galvanized steel
- Structural steel supports and towers
Customisation Options
- Silo type mix across flat bottom, hopper bottom, powder and feed
- Insulated shell for special storage requirements
- Monitoring and control scope
- Dust collection arrangement per site
Use Guide
- Define the intake and outloading rates before the storage volume
- Decide the monitoring scope during design rather than after the first season
- Plan dust collection into the conveying route
- Keep the control system records so storage decisions are based on data
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Buying silo and handling separately | One integrated system with a single party responsible at commissioning. |
|---|---|
| Local fabrication | Factory production with specified coating weights and a documented bolting method. |
Grain Silos Questions
What does a turnkey storage scope include?
Silos, bucket elevators, dust collectors and the grain storage control system, integrated as one system with installation supervision and commissioning.
Can the silos be insulated?
Yes. All TITAN steel silos can be designed and installed with a heat retaining layer for insulated grain storage.
What size is the factory?
TITAN states a 9000 square metre factory and more than 30 grain storage solution specialists in its engineering team.
Do you supply powder and feed silos too?
Yes, alongside flat bottom and hopper bottom grain silos.
How is grain condition monitored?
Through the grain storage control system with moisture and heat monitoring, and broken grain reduction devices on the filling route.
