Drying and Storage Systems
Wooden Silos / Bin Dryers – KCT/KCE/KC
Kongskilde wooden silos provide optimal conditions for safe grain storage, preventing fungi and bacteria growth by maintaining low moisture and temperature levels. The silos feature wooden panels with louvered aluminium strips for even radial airflow, effective in both full and partly full silos.
A unique filling and emptying system ensures even distribution and consistent moisture content. Designed for easy assembly with modular sections, these silos are cost-effective to ship and install.
KCT/KCE/KC Wooden Silos/Bin Dryers
Kongskilde wooden storage silos are the perfect choice for ventilated and safe indoor storage and in-bin drying of grain with less than 18% moisture content. Under tropical conditions, the indoor wooden silo concept avoids condensation problems in the grain. The silo walls are produced mainly of wood.
A wooden silo solution must be dimensioned to easily handle the standard harvest, and also cope with a particularly large harvest. A Kongskilde system can easily be expanded with additional modules. We offer numerous diameters, heights, and capacities. The configuration depends on average tons of grain handled per year, harvest per day, number of crops, average dampness, etc.
Kongskilde bin dryers offer a gentle and economical drying process to seed producers. The method of drying at low air temperatures is safe and gentle even for large seeds at high moisture contents. The same blower can be used for both filling and drying.
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.
