Grain storage – Underfloor storage

Large-capacity floor storage is used as an alternative form of grain storage for storing one or two types of grain in a large volume in one area.

Without functional storage facilities of sufficient capacity, any harvesting of crops is compromised. Cereal storage space must meet a number of important factors in order to be able to provide an environment in which cereals can be protected from the adverse effects of weather and pests. Proper storage of cereals determines whether the cereals retain their quality parameters until they are used or processed.

Underfloor storage for grain and their features

In modern agricultural buildings we now see storage silos in the typical conical shape. Their alternative is the simpler and more traditional floor warehouses. As the name suggests, these are roofed structures with a large and dry floor area, where single-grain grain is stored on the floor. Floor stores can also be used to store other raw materials/compound feeds - either directly, in bags and sacks on pallets, or in containers.

• Underfloor storage for grain attracts with its relatively simple constructability without the need for complicated technologies.
• Their construction can be cheaper compared to modern and more complex forces.
• Thanks to the presence of windows, skylights, ventilation turbines or wall fans, efficient air movement can be ensured, which is an advantage especially for longer-term storage of dry grain.
• They are also suitable for short-term storage before further processing or sale.
• Floor storage can be customized to suit specific needs. For example, they are a popular choice for small and medium-sized farmers who are satisfied with smaller storage capacities for the time being.

Deciding on a suitable solution requires weighing up all the pros and cons of the available options. At PREMETAL MON, we have extensive experience in the implementation of grain storage facilities - whether for small or large companies. We are experts in conveyors, which are an essential part of storage technology for smoothness and efficiency. We will be happy to help you with the selection and subsequent implementation of your project.
