Preparation and details of grain steel silo before use

March 25, 2025

Introduction to preparations before using grain steel silos

After installing the steel silos, we need to conduct pre-storage tests, which are the so-called preparations before using steel silos. The purpose of this is to find small problems in the installation process, so as to avoid problems that cannot be repaired after a large amount of grain is stored in the silo. Today, we will share with you the introduction of preparations before using Shandong steel silos by Shandong Shelley, a steel silo manufacturer.

In order to ensure the safety and normal use of steel silos, the provisions for initial loading must be carried out in accordance with relevant acceptance standards. The initial feeding must be three times, the first 40%, 35%, three times, and 25%. After each completion, it must be left to stand for a period of time, less than 2 times before a month, and not less than 2 months. For the phenomenon of eccentric loading and unloading, in order to prevent loading and unloading, the warehouse must be unloaded first. In the three stages of construction, trial installation and normal use, settlement measurements should also be carried out in strict accordance with relevant national regulations, and the difference between the bottom settlement and the settlement observation records should be properly preserved.

During loading and normal use, if any abnormal situation occurs, loading should be stopped, settlement records should be made, emergency measures should be taken, timely and proper handling should be carried out, and relevant units should be notified.

To maintain the cement steel silo, check once a month whether the bolt connection parts such as the top pull ring and process holes are intact, whether the fastening bolts are loose, and whether the gaskets are damaged. Check its surface corrosion and sealing condition, and repair it in time if problems are found.

Since the working condition of Shandong steel silo is alternating load, the welds of the steel silo body should be checked every six months, the deformed parts of the welds should be corrected and repaired, and the corroded parts should be handled in time.

It is necessary to regularly check whether the walls of the steel warehouse are partially deformed. After unloading the empty warehouse, it is necessary to frequently check the sealing of the steel silo and the door frame and the adjacent outer side panels, whether the steel bars are deformed, or whether there are cracks. Maintenance, repair, and maintenance are carried out according to actual conditions. After unloading the empty warehouse, check the connection parts, welding parts, taper plate surface, etc. If there are abnormal conditions such as welding deformation and cracking, the feeding should be stopped to avoid accidents.

The above are the preparations for the steel silo before it is put into use. I hope it will be helpful for everyone to use the grain steel silo in the future. Shandong Xuelai Storage has been engaged in the production, research and development and sales of grain steel silos for many years. If you have any questions about grain steel silo, please feel free to call us.

Introduction to the three major preparations before grain drying in grain steel silos

At present, large steel silos are generally equipped with efficient grain drying systems. Its important function is to directly dry and store the newly collected wet grain into the warehouse, which can not only save the time for grain storage, but also ensure the future storage effect of grain. Today we will explain to you in detail the preparations for large steel silos before starting the grain dryer.

1) Prepare for drying operations

One hour before the dryer is started, the furnace is ignited, and all the supporting parts, transmission parts and other auxiliary equipment of the dryer must be checked to ensure that these equipment are tight, normal, lubricated and reliable. The combustion chamber, slag in the furnace pit, furnace door, furnace, grate, feeding device, regulating valve and blower, dust collector, air duct and other inspections must be carried out before igniting the furnace. Fuel, tools, transmission, support device lubrication All bearings and friction surface inspections should also be carried out before starting the dryer. The method of starting the dryer should be particular. The dryer motor should be started first, then the wet material transport equipment should be started, and then the dry material transport equipment should be started, so that the operation procedure can form a continuous and uniform effect.

2) Do a good job of inspection during the operation of the dryer

During its operation, the temperature of the bearings of each part should be checked regularly, and the temperature should be controlled within 50℃. At the same time, the sound of the gears should be listened to, and the sound of the gears should be stable. It is necessary to ensure that there is no obvious impact, vibration and transmission in the transmission, support and simplified rotation. The inspection, maintenance and maintenance of the equipment must be in place.

3) Do a good job of observing the main working parts

The quality of the combustion chamber will affect the drying efficiency of the dryer. Therefore, during the operation of the dryer, special attention must be paid to the combustion chamber, blower and dust removal equipment.

The above is an introduction to the three major preparations before the large steel silo grain drying. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. If you need a deeper understanding of the matters that need to be prepared for the start-up of the large steel silo drying equipment, please feel free to call Shandong Shelley.
