Soybean Silo

1. Product Overview

COBAN Soybean Silo is an industrial-grade intelligent storage system designed for soybean oil extraction plants, feed mills, and grain trading terminals.

Unlike conventional grain warehouses, this system provides:

• Controlled temperature & humidity storage environment
• Real-time grain condition monitoring
• Automated ventilation and discharge control
• Structural protection against moisture, oxidation, and mold

👉 Purpose: Preserve soybean oil quality + reduce storage loss + stabilize processing efficiency

4. Working Principle (How It Protects Soybeans)

COBAN system works through continuous environment stabilization logic:

1. Grain Intake
   • Pre-cleaning removes impurities and dust
2. Uniform Filling
   • Rotary distributor prevents grain segregation
3. Real-Time Monitoring
   • 3D sensors track temperature & humidity inside grain mass
4. Smart Ventilation
   • Fans activate only when dew point conditions are safe
5. Controlled Discharge
   • Hopper silo: gravity flow (FIFO)
   • Flat bottom: mechanical reclaim system

👉 Result: stable soybean condition throughout storage cycle

5. Core Advantages

1. Prevent Soybean Quality Loss

• Stops oxidation (red discoloration)
• Reduces protein degradation
• Maintains oil extraction yield

2. Intelligent Environment Control

• Detects temperature variation ±0.5°C
• Prevents internal hotspot formation
• Eliminates condensation risk

3. Fully Automated Operation

• PLC one-key control
• Remote monitoring via mobile/PC
• Reduced manpower requirement

4. Higher ROI for Processing Plants

• Lower grain loss (<0.3%)
• Faster turnover cycle
• Reduced operational cost

5. Fast Installation & Expansion

• Modular bolted structure
• No on-site welding
• Easy capacity scaling
