Steel silos are built to last, but like any hardworking piece of equipment, they need proper maintenance to perform at their best.
Neglecting regular upkeep can lead to grain spoilage, structural damage, and costly repairs.
So, what does good maintenance look like?
1️⃣ Inspect Regularly – Check for corrosion, dents, or loose bolts. Small issues can become big problems if ignored!
2️⃣ Ensure Proper Ventilation – A well-ventilated silo prevents moisture buildup, keeping your grain in top condition.
3️⃣ Clean Thoroughly – Residual grain attracts pests and mold. A deep clean between storage cycles helps prevent contamination.
4️⃣ Check Weather Seals – Rain and humidity are a silo’s worst enemies. Make sure seals and joints are intact to avoid leaks.
5️⃣ Monitor Grain Condition – Temperature, humidity, and aeration systems should be checked regularly to prevent spoilage.
A well-maintained silo is a long-lasting, efficient silo!
