Round Bin Flat Bottom
The round flat bottom silo is suitable for large storage capacity, from hundred tons to twenty thousand tons per silo. There are many diameter and specification to satisfy your needs. There is automatic sweep auger to clean out the remaining grain after discharging, this helps site workers reducing the cleaning time. The flat bottom silo has one big advantage by using the full floor system to give best aeration performance especially if you are using cooling air for the grain, the full floor system has very low percentage of dead angles on aeration. The round flat bottom silo has better structure to stand against the earthquake, Alminco uses the seismic factor to design the silo structure, from seismic zone 0 to maximum zone 4. The silo can stand against maximum windload upon 155MPH also. The silo uses galvanization G115 (350g/m2), which is higher than other round silo suppliers in the market, and could be upgraded to a higher galvanization by request. All the silo parts are connected by 8 Grade galvanized bolts and nuts, we also provide extra galvanized painting to extend the life of silo. IMPORTANT FEATURE: Usually the round flat bottom silo has bigger diameter; therefore, it's important to have strong roof with enough peak load. Alminco offers roof with strong support structure, give maximum peak load 25,000 LBS. It helps to stand against typhoon and storm upon 155MPH windload. Eave ring gives secured safety for workers and prevent falling risk. Alminco also supply side draw system, without using any power unit, the grain can be discharged to the trucks. Photo of side draw system inside The sweep auger deliver grains into discharge sump by rorating in the silo. The Alminco push tractor can be added on the sweep auger to improve the performance. The full floor aeration has better efficiency than double T and double H aeration layout. The full floor aeration also keeps grain on steel surface without direct contact on concrete floor, to prevent moisture from concrete and cause grain deterioration.

Silo Insulation
In cooling storage system, the grain cooler is not enough to keep the low temperature condition inside the silo, the cool energy could be lost within a few days, we must insulate the silo and that's why Alminco has developed insulation system. After time to time, Alminco keeps improved the insulation and obtain the patent. However, Alminco has given-up the patent and allow everyone using it on their silos, we feel proud of the way we are doing it because we believe this technology should bring benefits to all the users. The silo insulation has an bonus, the user can use the same color like the factory or put the logos and names on the insulation sidewall, it has excellent effect to use as an commercial advertisement. There are 3 parts of silo that should be taking care of, the roof, the sidewall, and the bottom. For the round silo, Alminco use PU spraying under the roof sheets for insulation (left photo). For the rectangular bins, because it has the insulation sheets on the top of bins (right photo), so there is no need to use PU anymore. The sidewall should be covered by insulation sheets, for the round silo, it needs to add extra frames so the insulation sheets can be screwed on the frames, the it helps the structure of sidewall to be more stronger. The sidewall of rectangular bins has frames already, so the insulation sheets can be screwed on directly. Only the hopper bins need to do the insulation. Alminco use special PU to spray on the hopper, and it would be better if the ducting can be covered by PU also.
Cooling Storage
Before the time of cooling storage, there are many problems in storage, so the storing period can not be long. Therefore, Alminco has cooperated with Taiwanese Government and agricultural experts to develop cooling storage system, which helps to improve the grain quality and store longer period. The advantage of cooling storage:1)Keep grains in good quality and fresh. In practical use, the paddy can be safely stored more than 3 years.2)Reduce the heat from grain itself, and prevent deterioration.3)Restrain propagation of insects and bacteria, from pratical experiences, there is no aflatoxin in the corn for 3 month in cooling storage.4)Eliminate thermal energy and maintain the quality of grain.5)Avoid condensation water inside the silo.6)Get rid of musty smell.7)Restrain paddy lipase. 8) Store in the condition that you desire, the humidity and temperature can be adjusted for different kind of grain for different purposes. The heart of cooling storage system is the grain cooler (chiller), the left photo is the water cooling type, it needs a water tower to cool down the machine, the advantage is low noise. The right photo is the air cooling type, the machine has exhaust fans to cool down the machine, the advantage is that air cooling type can be moved to use as long as there is power. Specification of Grain Cooler: (The chillers are tested in Taiwan, the performance could be changed due to different conditions at site; Alminco also reserves the rights to change specification without further notice.)

Besides, it can control the constant temperature and moisture to ensure the air condition is under control. The panel has some push button and indicator lights, the main control is done on the touch screen. It's easy to operate and it has emergency stop if the operator makes mistakes on controlling. The ducting plays an important character although it looks simple in the system. The most of the cooling energy would be wasted more than 15% if the ducting is not doing properly; therefore, it's better to insulate the ducts with PU or some insulating materials. For the ducting control, Alminco supply the close type valve with wheel handle. It's easy to open and close, there is indicator marks to show how much you can open. No matter it's hopper bottom or flat bottom, the aeration system must meet the needs of air volume to give best performance. The roof vents are also part of aeration system. Alminco supply different kinds of roof vents. When the cooling air is coming from the bottom aeration, the roof vents allow the hot air exhausting to outside, to prevent the hot air stay under the roof and become condensation. Alminco has more than 15 years experience in cooling technology, and we have reliable quality of cooling machines. Except for the local support, We also export the coolers to overseas.
