How Wooden Silos Function
Kongskilde wooden silos work by utilizing a combination of natural wood properties and modern ventilation technology. The wooden panels, combined with louvered aluminium strips, allow for even radial airflow throughout the silo, which is effective in both fully and partially filled conditions. This design ensures a uniform drying process and consistent moisture content throughout the stored grain, making it a superior choice for maintaining grain quality over time.
Benefits of Kongskilde Wooden Silos
- Optimal Grain Preservation: Maintains low moisture and temperature levels, preventing the growth of fungi and bacteria.
- Customizable Design: Modular sections allow for easy shipping and on-site assembly, making these silos cost-effective and adaptable to varying farm sizes.
- Eco-Friendly Material: Utilizes natural wood, which provides excellent insulation properties and contributes to a sustainable storage solution.
- Versatile Ventilation: Features a unique ventilation system that can handle various grain types and conditions, ensuring effective drying and storage.
KCT
Batch Drier
Kongskilde KCT batch driers are designed for drying various free-flowing crops or seeds at low temperatures.
- Utilizes Kongskilde HVL low-pressure high-volume blowers and heaters for a gentle drying process, ideal for seed producers.
- Features a perforated central pipe for efficient air circulation and optimal drying.
- Uses a batch drying method with radially flowing heated air slightly above ambient temperature, including a cooling period in each cycle.
- Equipped with a self-emptying flow base bottom, which, with the aid of a blower, guides the remaining material to the outlet, leaving the silo empty.
KCE
Drying and Storage
Kongskilde KCE silos are ideal for indoor storage of high-quality grains such as feed grain, malting barley, and seed grain.
- Perfect for tropical conditions, preventing condensation.
- Ensures safe storage with a superior aeration system.
- Includes a perforated central pipe for high air rates and aluminium strips for even airflow.
- Allows grain drying without recirculation, handling moisture with mainly unheated air.
- Ideal for sensitive seeds like peas and beans.
KC
Storage
Kongskilde KC storage silos are designed for indoor storage of high-quality grains such as feed grain, malting barley, seed grain, and other heavy free-flowing seeds.
- Ideal for tropical conditions, the indoor wooden silo concept prevents condensation in the grain.
- Features a perforated central pipe for optimal air rates and louvered aluminium strips for evenly distributed radial airflow.
- Effective aeration system works with both full and partly full silos.
- Superior safe storage, often chosen for high-priced quality products like seed grain, malting barley, and feed grain, especially in tropical regions.
