Functions of a Silo Vent

  • Installed Silo Vent with solar panel powered fanSilo Vent is a low cost and maintenance free way to effectively reduce the inside temperature and humidity from your silos, stored with grain or legumes.
  • The solar powered fan in conjunction with the silo ventilator is an energy efficient system which creates a venturi effect drawing out the unwanted heat and humidity and allowing fresh air to circulate while stabilising the internal temperature of the stored grain. This can then lead to a reduced optimum breeding environment and temperature for possible insect infestation. Chemical applied to stored grain could be reduced, however proper stored grain handling management stills needs to be undertaken.
  • The Silo Vent is best located on the silo cap or lid at the top of the silo. The unit is attached to the lid as a fixture and when filling silo, tilt or slide the lid to one side as normal, allowing the unit to rest on the silo roof, out of the grain augers way.
