Temperature Control

The first parameter which warns of fermentation or infestation of the stored product is its temperature. In order to prevent these problems silos can be equipped with a distributed temperature control system for the product which includes: A set of temperature probes hanging from the roof and homogeneously laid out and embedded in the stored product. The probes are equipped with temperature sensors that allow for monitoring of the temperature across the entire volume. Software operating on an MS Windows base which is installed on the main plant control computer or on any other computer, PC, or tablet. The software allows for: A) Set up of alarm temperature for the entire monitoring system or for each individual sensor. B) Time programmable or continuous monitoring of the temperature of all individual sensors of all silos with memory and/or printing function. C) Warning of any temperature exceeding the setup to allow for quick reaction and avoidance of grain spoilage. D) Automatic switch-on of the forced ventilation, in case that the external air allows for grain aeration. It can be activated worldwide through smartphones or tablets. The installation of the temperature probes involves the installation of reinforced and additional roof beams. SIMEZA’s product range includes the supply of the above mentioned complete temperature control system, with ATEX 21 certified probes..
