Capacity
Silos can be designed with various capacities based on storage requirements.
Durability
Constructed with durable materials to withstand long-term use and harsh weather conditions.
Loading and Unloading System
Equipped with effective loading and unloading systems for the rapid movement of canola seeds.
Automated Control
May feature automated control systems to enhance storage efficiency.
Safety Features
Include emergency exits, safety warnings, and fire protection systems.
Easy Maintenance
Designed to be simple to clean and maintain.
Insulation
May include insulating materials to maintain suitable storage temperatures.
Versatility
Although specifically designed for canola seeds, the design may also be suitable for storing other types of grains or oil crops.
The structure of rapeseed storage silo
Silo Body
Constituting the main part of the silo, it is typically made of steel or concrete to provide the necessary storage space.
Base Structure
The base may be designed flat or conically to facilitate the flow and unloading of canola seeds.
Top Structure
The top usually features loading hatches, ventilation openings, and manholes for the loading of seeds and routine maintenance.
Loading and Unloading System
Includes conveyor belts, screw conveyors, etc., for the loading and unloading of canola seeds.
Ventilation System
Designed with ventilation ducts and openings to regulate the temperature and humidity inside the silo.
Sealing System
Ensures the silo’s sealing to protect against the impact of the external environment on the quality of canola seeds.
Support Structure
Includes support frames and reinforcements to ensure the structural stability of the silo.
Control System
May contain an automated control system for monitoring and managing the operation of the silo.
Safety Facilities
Includes emergency exits, safety warnings, and fire protection systems to ensure the safety of operating personnel.
Monitoring System
Equipped with monitoring devices to track the storage status of canola seeds and the operation of the silo.
Maintenance Access
Includes ladders, platforms, etc., for inspection and maintenance of the silo.
Advantages of Rapeseed Storage Silo
Efficient Storage
They offer large-capacity storage spaces that allow for the centralized storage of substantial quantities of canola seeds, improving storage efficiency.
Quality Maintenance
Sealed and ventilated systems effectively maintain the quality of canola seeds, preventing degradation due to moisture or mold.
Reduction of Losses
Minimize losses caused by environmental factors and pests, extending the shelf life of canola seeds.
Space Saving
The vertical design conserves floor space, allowing for more canola seeds to be stored on limited land.
Easy Management
Equipped with automated control systems, simplifying daily management and monitoring tasks.
Operational Safety
Designed with safety features such as emergency exits and fire protection systems to ensure the safety of operating personnel.
Simple Maintenance
The structural design facilitates regular inspections and maintenance, reducing maintenance costs.
Temperature and Humidity Control
Controls the internal environment to provide ideal storage conditions for canola seeds.
High Loading and Unloading Efficiency
Designed with efficient loading and unloading systems to improve the efficiency of canola seed movement in and out of storage.
Durability
Constructed with durable materials that can withstand long-term use and harsh climatic conditions.
Application scope of Rapeseed storage silo
Coban Large Storage Silo is widely used for grain storage such as wheat, corn, soybean, paddy, rice, soybean meal, barley, malt, sunflower seeds,Coffee Beans, rapeseed, peanuts, flour, and other powder materials, oat, special Silo, and seeds, etc.
Rapeseed storage silo technical parameters
Scientifically speaking, the Silo capacity should be measured with volume (m3). Even in the same grain Silo, the storage tons will be different for different grains with different densities. The following table is calculated based on a Silo density of 0.75kg/m3, and surely HKB customizes Silo systems unique for you.
