Kotzur Pty. Ltd products

Gas sealed silos are recommended for the long term storage of grain. Gas sealed silos protect stored grain by ensuring that effective phosphine or controlled atmosphere fumigation of insect pests can be achieved. Gas tight storage’s can be used as a “hospital” silo for pest eradication of infested grain from non sealed existing storage’s. For further information on the importance of gas sealed silos in the drive to control insects and maintain grain free of chemical residue, speak to one of our friendly staff.

The Kotzur drying silo uses a specially developed and patented drying cone/plenum. The air is forced into this plenum and then passes through the grain mass. Different drying silo models, fan combinations and grain have varying specifications, however the typical airflow is 15-20 litres per second per tonne of grain or a complete change of air in the silo each 25-50 seconds. This airflow is 10-15 times that achieved using conventional aeration. The plenum design ensures that this air flow is uniform through the grain mass and is not restricted by screens etc.
