Polymer bags for grain & silage storage
The basic principle of the technology is to create airtight storage. The fulfilled polymer silage bag is tightly closed at both ends, and thereby cuts off oxygen supply. In the "breathing" process of grain, as well as insects and fungi which come into the silage bag together with the grain, the oxygen concentration decreases, and carbon dioxide increases, thus it automatically creates the optimal medium for storage. Insects and fungi perish from the lack of oxygen in the silage bag.
The silage bags are made of a polyethylene mixture, they meet all safety requirements, and have three layers - a layer of white, then black and finally the outer white extruding layer. The White layer prevents the silage bag from heating up. The Black layer screens out the sun, preventing germination of any seeds. The UV additives included in the film prevent the sun rays exposure to the stored products. The Silage bags capacity has a diameter of 2.7 meters and a length of 60 meters.
If you use this technology:
- You are independent from the grain elevator
- Store grain in anaerobic conditions without insects and fungi
- Keep the highest quality of seed material
- Reduce your vehicles
Maximum weights:
- 200 tons of grain
- 350 tons of silage
Preparation of grain for storage in polymer silage bags:
The maximum duration of storage depends on the humidity of the grain stuffed. If you need long-term storage of wheat we recommend that you match the key parameters to the parameters of the state standard specification (humidity level is 10-14%, speckiness level is up to 4%).
Available dimensions:
Thickness: 180-250 mcm
Width: from 2,4 to 4,35 m (or upon request of the client)
Length: from 30 to 300 m
Advantages:
- Low capital expenditure & high output
- High flexibility facilitates:
- effective location selection (the ability to optimize transport efficiency)
- silage material type selection (enables trouble-free vehicle loading)
- flexible adverse climatic condition operations (lack of aerobic phase filling)
- different requirements of preserved feed of different types and quality
(the option of separate storage)
- the short-term necessity of expansion or decline in production
- inter-farm operation
- successful biogas composting and production
- Optimal conditions for preservation and low nutrients loss due to:
- the immediate block of air access (cold fermentation)
- optimal consolidation of silage mass
- the loss absence in the boundary and surface layers of the silage mass
- silage mass absorption of silage juice in the bag (similar to a
sponge - silage juice, which is formed in the bags, can be absorbed by the "dry"
sections of silage mass)
- reduction of nutrient losses
- This technology is environmentally sound and meets the requirements of environmental protection regulations.
