Vertical and Horizontal Silo – Bulk Storage

Storage silos are containers used for storage of bulk stock. These bulk storage silo systems are used for both short-term storages as well as for long-term storage of food products. Grain Storage Silos are cylindrical in shape and are made up of high-quality galvanized steel. Silos used for short-term bulk grain storage have conical bottom whereas the ones used for long-term storage have a flat bottom to provide the cleanup screw for the discharge purposes. Farmers that store their harvested crops in silos experience improved food security, greater consistency in grain quality, and reduced waste that leads to enhanced agricultural income. As India’s leading rice mill plant consultants – Nextech solutions, also offer storage silos solutions that prove to be the most efficient and effective and protect the grains from being spoiled by rain and pest infestation.

Vertical Silo

The vertical silos are either circular or orthogonal in shape. The customizable diverging funnel flow at the bottom of a vertical silo enables it to handle any type of load. Stainless steel, concrete, and carbon steel plates are the most common materials that are used in the fabrication of vertical silos. The material you choose depends on the weather in your area. The common features of vertical silos include:

Safety Valve for pressure control
Silo level blade indicator
Blowing plant with a nozzle
Service platform with ladder, back guard and safety guard

Storage silo capacity of vertical silo is around 50-70 tonnes. They have higher capacity when compared to horizontal silos.

Horizontal Silo

Horizontal Silos need more ground space and they come with a mechanic extraction system. For easy removal of the stored material, the mechanic extraction system is placed below the silo. Usually, horizontal silos are installed away from direct heat and sometimes in underground spaces. Few accessories that come with horizontal silos include:

Warm gear
Lumps breaker
Explosion panels
Silo weighing
Needle gates
Bag filters
Under/overpressure capacity

Conclusion

The best grain storage silo for you depends on the space you can afford to install the silo. Consider your short-term and long-term goals and external factors that may affect your storage needs before investing in a silo. Also, there is a lot of customized silo available depending on the requirements. It’s advisable to talk to a Storage Silo Project Consultant so that your investment won’t go in vain. Having more than 10 years of experience, Nextech Grain Processing & Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd. can provide Grain Milling Solutions which will help you increase your business.

Rice Mill Plant Designs are usually classified as fixed position layout, process-oriented layout, group or cellular layout, product-oriented layout. The type of layout ultimately is decided upon usually on the quality of rice to be manufactured that encompasses the volume and variety of the products to be produced. The Rice Mill layout designing is extremely challenging, especially for the process-oriented layout.
Three alternative layouts are brought out using Systematic layout planning, which is a systematic way of generating layout alternatives. The proposed alternative layout involves choices in moving the machines closer or farther based on interrelationships. The detailed plant layout and processes are executed using tools such as the operation process chart, activity relationship chart & flow process chart. Often the choice depends on the creation of optimal e.g, the “under-runner” disk mill is very popular in the Indian subcontinent. Similarly, Rice Mills with fewer moving parts are subject to less wear and produces an acceptable quality of rice.

Raw Paddy Drying Solutions by Nextech

By “drying” is meant the phase of the post-harvest system during which the product is rapidly dehydrated to a so-called “backup” moisture. This desiccation is intended to sufficiently reduce the moisture content of the grain to ensure favorable conditions for storage or subsequent processing of the product.

It is possible to obtain the drying of the products by circulating more or less hot air in a mass of grains. In its movement, the air gives heat to the grains, absorbing moisture from the most superficial layers.

The water present in the surface layers of the grains evaporates much more efficiently and more rapidly than that of the inner layers.

It is therefore much more difficult to lower the water content of a product from 25% to 15% than from 35% to 25%. It would be wrong to think that this difficulty can be overcome by carrying out a rapid drying at a high temperature. Indeed, such drying conditions generate internal tensions, producing small cracks that can lead to breakage of grains during subsequent treatments.

For the drying of grains, the methods employed are, in essence, two in number:
– Natural drying
– Artificial drying

Both have advantages and disadvantages, and there is no ideal way to meet all needs.

Natural Drying

The method of natural paddy dryer, to which the techniques illustrated in the section on pre-drying operations also relate, consists essentially in exposing the beaten products to the air (in the sun or the shade). To obtain the desired moisture content, the grains are spread in thin layers over a drying area, where they are exposed to air (in the sun or the shade) for a maximum of 10-15 days. To promote uniform drying, the seeds should frequently be stirred, especially if they are exposed to direct sunlight. In addition, for the drying to be sufficient, the relative humidity of the ambient air must not exceed 70%.

Artificial Drying

The introduction of high-yielding crop varieties and the gradual mechanization of agriculture now make it possible to harvest large quantities of grain in a short period. In the tropical and subtropical humid zones, given the unfavorable weather conditions at the time of harvest, it is often difficult to safeguard the quality of the products.

To meet the need to increase agricultural production, it is, therefore, necessary to dry the products in a relatively short time, and whatever the ambient conditions. Thus, paddy dryer plant must be used. This method consists essentially in subjecting the grains to a forced ventilation of more or less heated air. It requires the use of individual devices called “dryers.”

Artificial Raw Paddy Dryer

From the point of view of construction, the essential elements of a rice dryer machine are:

– the dryer body, which contains the grains to be dried;
– The hot air generator, which allows heating the air drying;
– The fan, which allows the circulation of drying air in the grain mass.

For the artificial drying of the grains, two types of dryers are used:

– Static or batch dryers;
– Continuous dryers.
The former is inexpensive and only treat small quantities of grain; they are therefore more suited to the needs of small and medium-sized collection and processing centers.

As for the latter, they are high flow paddy drying technology that requires more complex infrastructure, additional equipment and especially a particular planning and organization. They are therefore more suitable for large centers, silos or shops, where very large quantities of product are processed. Nextech Agri Solutions is a reliable brand if you want to purchase agricultural solutions.

Different Paddy Parboiling Methods in India

Parboiling involves partial cooking of rice paddy, and soaking, gelatinizing, and drying before milling. The main objective of parboiling is to impart hardness to the grain (without hampering the husk) so that the grain can withstand the milling operations.

Parboiling Methods in India involve partial cooking of rice paddy, and soaking, gelatinizing, and drying before milling. The main objective of parboiling is to impart hardness to the grain (without hampering the husk) so that the grain can withstand the milling operations. The paddy is parboiled in the hull to soften the kernel so that the surface starch, bran, and other components can blend. After this, the water from the rice is drained and the rice is dried with steam. The dried rice then undergoes machinery procedures to polish the kernels and remove the hull.

There are three different types of Paddy Parboiling methods in India, namely:

Single-staged parboiling system which is meant for small grain and boiled cream-colored rice
Two-staged parboiling system which is meant for small grain, boiled and steamed white-colored rice
Three-staged Parboiling System which is meant for long grain rice like Basmati, etc.

A quick synopsis of Paddy Parboiling Methods in India

The raw paddy is first cleaned and then transferred to the soaking tank paddy storage bin. The raw paddy (only if its grain is long or of medium size) is then steamed for two to four minutes which is followed by the moving of processed paddy to the soaking tanks.

When the rice is in paddy form, it is soaked in water at an ambient temperature of 20-30°C and takes 36 – 48 hours to reach the requisite moisture content of 30%. On the other hand, if the paddy is soaked at a temperature of 60-65°C (hot water soaking), it reaches the moisture level in a mere two to four hours. One advantage of hot water soaking is that it reduces the steaming time which completes the Parboiling Process, quickly.

The smell, color, taste, and solubility of the components of rice depends on the water temperature and the duration for which it is soaked in the water. The timing must also not be too long and the temperature also must not be too high otherwise the components would dissolve in water, the seeds would start germinating, and starch fermentation would occur.
