2. Hopper Bottom Silo
✔ Capacity: 300–1500 m³
✔ Cone bottom for automatic discharge
✔ Suitable for medium storage and quick unloading
3. Rectangular Silo
✔ Space-saving design
✔ Easy installation
✔ Ideal for limited land areas
Grain Silos Working Principle
Intelligent Storage & Discharge System
The grain silo system integrates storage and handling:
✔ Stored in a sealed, controlled environment
✔ Grain is transported into the silo via conveyor systems
✔ Stored in a sealed, controlled environment
✔ The ventilation system regulates temperature and humidity
✔ The monitoring system tracks storage conditions
✔ The discharge system ensures smooth and efficient output
Enables automated, continuous, and safe grain storage management
