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.)
 

The photos show the control panel and control box, the whole system is managed by micro computer, the compressors can be switch on and off by different stages, so the power energy can be saved. 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. If you need more information, please contact Alminco office.
