Underfloor Aeration Channels – KMP/KMSP

An on-floor grain storage solution combining shuttering embedded in the concrete floor with perforated drive-over travel grates. The perforated design keeps airflow strong while giving you a flat, fully accessible surface for vehicles. Rated for a 10 ton lorry load in accordance with bridge class 60/30, it holds up to daily handling traffic while grain and seed are tipped and reloaded directly from the floor with a front loader.

Features

Keep Your Floor Clear and Your Grain Ventilated

Shuttering embedded in the concrete floor combined with perforated drive-over travel grates give you a fully unobstructed floor area, so loaders and lorries have clear access anywhere in the building. Grain or seed can be tipped and reloaded directly from the drying floor, and the system is rated for a 10 ton lorry load in accordance with bridge class 60/30, so it holds up to daily handling traffic without hesitation.

Flat storage is one of the most widely used methods for storing grain, largely because it is cost-competitive to build and flexible to operate. Grain is dried and stored in the same compartment, cutting out the extra transport and monitoring that come with moving crop between a drying floor and separate storage. Many operations also put the building to other uses during the months when it isn’t holding grain.

Kongskilde offers a complete range of equipment for on-floor drying and storage, and the systems are designed to combine into virtually any setup, in a new or an existing building. Underfloor channels with drive-over grates work alongside Kongskilde’s lateral duct systems, so you can tailor the aeration approach to how the building is actually used rather than fitting the building to a fixed system.

Features & Benefits of Underfloor Aeration

  • Fully Unobstructed Floor: The floor stays completely open for loaders and lorries, with grain or seed tipped and reloaded directly from the drying floor.
  • 10-Ton Lorry Rated: Built to bridge class 60/30, so the floor holds up to daily handling traffic.
  • Cost-Effective, Flexible Storage: Flat storage is competitive to build and flexible to operate compared with other storage methods.
  • Drying and Storage in One Place: Grain is dried and stored in the same compartment, cutting the extra transport and monitoring that separate systems require.
  • Multi-Purpose Building Use: The same building can serve other purposes when it isn’t holding grain.
  • Fits New or Existing Buildings: Combines into virtually any drying and aeration setup, whether you’re building new or retrofitting.
  • Works Alongside Lateral Ducts: Pairs with Kongskilde’s on-floor lateral duct systems for a tailored aeration approach.
  • Two Grate Strengths: Standard and extra-strong travel grates let you match grate strength to your traffic and storage needs.
  • Durable Galvanised Construction: Shuttering boxes and accessories are made of galvanised steel for long-term reliability.
