Description

The facility is designed for efficient and controlled grain storage and processing. It features 350 tonnes of storage capacity with ventilated bins and a silo thermometry system to ensure optimal temperature monitoring. The Sec-LIS® system controls 8 fans automatically to maintain ideal storage conditions, while 4 automatic samplers facilitate continuous quality checks. Two independent circuits with adjustable flow rates (up to 50 t/h) handle grain transport, and a dust extraction system reduces emissions. The site also includes a cleaner-separator and fumigation bins for specific experimental treatments.
