SILO VENT
Silo Vent
Silo Vent
Silo Vent is an energy-efficient unit with a wind-driven ventilator. The heat, humidity and condensation are drawn out through the ventilator, while stabilising the internal temperature of the stored grain. Silo Vent units are environmentally friendly, as they are powered by the wind. There are no running costs with a Silo Vent system: they run for free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Silo Vent has two different units, one for use in all types of non-sealed silos, and the other, the Damper Model, designed for use in sealed silos.
Functions
Silo Vent is a low-cost and maintenance-free way to effectively reduce the inside temperature and humidity of your silos stored with grain or legumes.
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. Chemicals applied to stored grain could be reduced; however, proper stored grain handling management still 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. When filling the silo, tilt or slide the lid to one side as normal, allowing the unit to rest on the silo roof, out of the grain auger’s way.
Benefits
- Reduces inside temperature of a silo.
- Reduces humidity and condensation build-up in silos.
- Exhausts unwanted heat from the top of the silo.
- Replaces and circulates air inside silo.
- The temperature of stored grain or legumes is more stable.
- Reduces mould build up.
- The optimum breeding environment for insects is less favourable.
- The amount of chemicals applied to stored grain can be reduced.
- No electrical powered connection is required.
- Operates 24 hours per day, 7 days a week
- No switches or timers to turn off or on.
- No additional running costs for the unit. It runs for free.
- Easy to install.
- No ongoing maintenance after installation.
- Damper model designed for sealed silos.
Grain Management
The top of any silo is where the heat and condensation are always present and can become an ideal breeding environment for an insect attack.
By reducing the internal temperature and humidity levels at the top of the silo and on the surface of the stored grain, it makes the silo a less attractive option for insects.
Constant air movement reduces the possibility of condensation forming on the walls of the silos and assists with stabilising the temperature of the grain stored.
