How Wooden Silos Function
Kongskilde wooden silos work by utilizing a combination of natural wood properties and proven ventilation technology. The wooden panels, combined with louvered aluminium strips, allow for even radial airflow throughout the silo. This system works effectively with the flow control in the central pipe under 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.
- Crop Contamination: Designed for safe grain storage where different crop varieties must be kept securely separated.
KCT
Batch Drier
Kongskilde KCT batch driers are designed for drying various free-flowing crops or seeds at lower raised air temperatures.
- Utilizes Kongskilde HVL high air volume blowers combined with a heating source for a gentle drying process, ideal for seed and malting barley producers.
- Features a perforated central pipe for efficient air circulation and optimal drying.
- Uses a batch drying method with radially flowing air, only heated for safe drying of seed to maintain germination, including a cooling period in each batch cycle.
- Equipped with a self-emptying flow base bottom, which, with the aid of a blower, conveys the remaining material to the side outlet, leaving the silo empty.
- Self-adjusting filling distributor ensures even filling of the silo around the central pipe for uniform drying.
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.
- An ideal and efficient combined drying and storage system for crops that require minimal drying and no circulation during drying or storage.
- Perfect for climates with varying temperatures, such as 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 unheated or limited heated requiring minimum handling as example air.
- Ideal for sensitive seeds requiring minimum handling, like peas and beans.
KC
Storage
Kongskilde KC storage silos are designed for indoor safe storage of high-quality grains such as feed grain, malting barley, seed grain, and other heavy free-flowing seeds.
- Ideal for climates with varying temperatures, such as 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.
- In combination with a Kongskilde blower, the silo allows ventilation during storage, providing full control over seed conditions.
- Superior safe storage, often chosen for high-priced quality products like seed grain, malting barley, and feed grain, especially in tropical regions.
- Available in a wide range of sizes to meet the storage needs of various crops and volumes, ensuring safe storage without crop mixing.
