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.
