For commercial grain facilities, even a small amount of spoilage can have a significant economic impact. Preserving grain quality isn't just about maintaining a good reputation; it's about protecting your bottom line. A recent study found that annual spoilage rates can reach millions of tons, resulting in substantial economic losses.
Commercial grain facilities play a critical role in preventing grain spoilage. The spoilage often starts subtly, often due to inadequate storage conditions, including:
- Inconsistent moisture levels which encourage mold growth and pest infestation.
- Poor aeration which traps heat and moisture, accelerating spoilage.
- Unmonitored temperatures which create a breeding ground for microbes, degrading grain quality.
- Lack of cleaning which allows crusted grain buildup, fostering pests and pathogens and contaminating stored grain.
“Large-scale commercial grain facilities are responsible for safeguarding millions of bushels of grain, ” said Aaron Bruns, district manager for GSI. “Uncontrolled spoilage can lead to mold growth, heat generation, pest infestation and reduced quality. For co-op managers, the EVO 2X grain bins provide peace of mind and confidence, knowing the grain’s quality won’t be compromised.”
Upgrade to the EVO 2X Grain Bin System
GSI's EVO 2X grain bin system is specifically designed to combat the challenges of grain storage. Starting at 90 feet in diameter or larger, this innovative grain bin system uses cutting-edge technology to create an optimal environment for grain, maximizing quality and minimizing the risk of spoilage.
The EVO 2X system's advanced features set it apart from traditional grain bins, providing enhanced protection and efficiency. Here's what makes it a game-changer in grain storage:
- Improved bolt pattern: Fewer bolts and holes mean less opportunity for leaks and moisture intrusion.
- Double-length sidewall sheets: The longer sidewall sheets reduce the number of vertical seam connection points to half that of a traditional grain bin.
- Tougher hardware: 4x corrosion protection ensures long-lasting durability. The NZF-2000 zinc-coated hardware is applied without heat, reducing the chances of a bolt becoming brittle.
- Watertight seals: The EVO 2X grain bins' conical washers on sidewall bolts create a near-impenetrable barrier against the elements.
- Automated management capabilities: When integrated with an advanced automation system such as GrainVue, the EVO 2X system offers automated temperature control and grain management features, significantly reducing manual labor costs and increasing operational efficiency.
“By investing in the EVO 2X grain bin system, commercial grain facilities can prioritize grain quality and protect their bottom line,” said Bruns. “With its innovative design and advanced features, the EVO 2X system offers a comprehensive solution for safeguarding grain and ensuring long-term success.”
