Square steel silo storage method

January 31, 2025

The method of storage of rice in square steel silos is crucial for maintaining the quality of this staple food. Paddy, a term commonly used in the south, refers to unhulled rice. Rice is not only the main grain crop in the south of the Yangtze River and in the northeast but also a major grain production in China, playing a significant role in improving the country's economic efficiency. To achieve this, proper rice storage is essential.

First, strict quality control of rice storage is a must. Just like the strict quality inspection in a Steel Plate Warehouse before accepting new materials, newly - imported rice should have no more than 0.5% of impurities and a water content of no more than 13.5%. This ensures that the rice is in optimal condition for long - term storage.

Second, enhancing ventilation and cooling is vital. Rice has poor resistance to high temperatures, and high grain temperatures can lead to rapid quality deterioration, especially during summer grain storage. In the high - temperature season, mechanical ventilation is used, similar to the ventilation systems in Cement storage facilities to dissipate heat and moisture. This timely dissemination of damp heat in the grain helps maintain its quality.

Third, appropriate sealed storage is necessary. For general low - moisture rice, before the spring weather, moisture - proof work should be carried out and sealed storage can delay the recovery of grain temperature, which is conducive to safe storage. This sealed storage concept is parallel to the sealing measures in Fly ash storage to prevent external factors from affecting the stored items.

Fourth, during summer grain storage, natural anoxic storage, dual - low storage, or slow - release fumigation technology can be employed. In the context of feed processing, similar technologies are used to preserve the quality of feed raw materials. These methods ensure that the rice remains in good condition during the hot summer months.

Fifth, when it comes to rice warehouse storage, the cleaning and disinfection of storage equipment are as important as the regular maintenance in chemical raw material storage. A clean and disinfected storage environment can prevent the growth of bacteria and pests, safeguarding the quality of the stored rice.
