Maize storage silos are used by farmers, grain elevators, and food processing companies to store maize for long periods of time. They help to protect the maize from pests, moisture, and weather damage.
Benefits of Maize Silo
Adequate Grain Storage: The Metal Silo, an adequate grain storage facility reducing post harvesting waste due to pests in maize while uplifting smallholder farmers food security in developing countries.
Aerate Storage: It is convenient and more potent to aerate grains in steel silos. Also, the temperature resistant feature helps to achieve the proper grain temperature, therefore you don’t need to maintain temperature via external sources.
Safeguarding the Agro-Ecosystems: The Metal Silo, an adequate grain storage facility reducing post harvesting waste due to pests in maize while uplifting smallholder farmers food security in developing countries.
Adequate Grain Storage: Maize Silos reduces post-harvesting losses and thereby contributing to sustainability. It also eliminates the use of pesticides which can have negative impacts on the environment.
