The importance of temperature and humidity control in the steel silo

The silos are made of sheet metal with a galvanized coating. Although it may look different from other steel plate materials, the increase in temperature of the plate due to the heat of the sun will be very noticeable and affect the quality of the pellets.

The temperature changes that affect the quality of the grain are caused by the fermentation process, that is, when moisture reaches the focus of fermentation the grain begins to spoil.

Therefore, it greatly embodies the importance of the steel silo to detect the temperature and humidity in the silo through tools. These tools allow the temperature and humidity in the silo to be measured, and an alarm will start when the temperature or humidity reaches a certain height at any point, indicating that the steel silo Serious changes have taken place inside.

Once moisture is detected, it must be passed through a ventilation system, which circulates air inside the steel silo to reduce the temperature or humidity; or recirculate the grain and move it to another location, which is safer.

The control of temperature and humidity is just one of the processes that is very important for food protection.
