Grain Aeration Systems

The one-step way to dry, cool and prevent insects in your grain GRAIN_AERATION_009

If your crop has ripened with some green patched in it then, you may then harvest it with up to 17% moisture content. You can then store and aerate the grain without the concern of it being ruined.

The principal is the same as in an evaporative air conditioner, but in this case the grain is the wet filter.

Benefits of a grain aeration system.

A crop can be harvested with up to 17% moisture content with minimal risk of spoilage and getting it into your silos, knowing it will dry out later and not suffer the inevitable losses.
Start harvest earlier in the season, earlier in the day and continue later into the night.
Insect and vermin will be minimised, possibly eliminated and chemicals are not needed to keep insects out.

HOW THE SMART FANS WORK

(This is based on Simple Fan Laws)

When the fan is connected to two silos, the static pressure is reduced by four times, this converts the static pressure back into velocity pressure, increasing air flow and lowering air temperature.

Grain Aeration Bolt Kit

Bolt Kit

Air is introduced under plenum fitted horizontally across the bottom of the silo.

When the silo is full, underneath the plenum is open airspace.

The air is forced down then up the cone, spreading to the walls for even distribution through the silo.

The same plenum is suitable for all cone bottom silos.

3M (10ft) diameter to 9M (30ft).

Types of plenums available

GRAIN PROBE

The Grain Probe is designed to enable the user to measure the grain temperature inside the silo by the use of a digital readout. It also gives you ambient temperature and humidity readings outside the silo.

FEATURES

No need to get inside the silo for temperature readings
Gives you the ambient temperatures outside the silo to know when to turn your blower on/off.
Easy Installation

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE/HUMIDITY CONTROLLER

tempcontrol.072.jpg

Allows you to set humidity and temperature for drying grain in the best climatic conditions. Then reset the dials for aeration to blow cold, dry air through the grain.

We stock the most inexpensive controller on the market and the only one with the humidity and temperature functions all in one. Take all the guesswork out of grain drying and you can get on to other jobs while the fans are monitored by the controller. The unit is fully portable and only the size of a shoe box.

PHOSTOXIN FUMIGATOR

The PHOSTOXIN FUMIGATOR is designed to vent air through silos and is required to be recirculated from the bottom of the silo through to the top of the silo and back to the 80 LPS fan.

No more placing phosphine tablets directly into the grain source, with the use of the Phostoxin Fumigator the tablets are placed in the tray provided and once the tablets are spent the powder form drops through the mesh grate ready for a mess free disposal also no residue left in the grain.

PHOSBOX®

Benefits & Features:

No climbing ladders to add Phosphine to your grain storage.
DIY kit can be delivered to you via Australia Post.
Easy to fit with step by step instructions (video instructions also available)
Tray holds over 400 tablets enough to fumigate a 200T silo
The PHOSBOX® conveniently fits into the cone of elevated silos or the wall of flat bottomed silos.

TARP FAST BLOWER

The Tarp Fast Blower works by creating a negative pressure under bunker tarps therefore sucking the tarp to the grain, this stops the tarp from flapping and tearing in windy conditions saving on grain spoilage, costly tarp repairs and down labour time.
