How does GSI ensure grain protection against moisture and temperature fluctuations?
GSI utilizes various techniques to ensure grain is not exposed to moisture and temperature fluctuations, thereby ensuring grain storage remains fresh. Some of the most major techniques and technologies implemented by GSI include the following:
1.Climate-Controlled Storage Facilities:
GSI designs its storage facilities to enable the manipulation of the environment within the facility. Such factors as insulation and ventilation systems can aid in controlling temperature and humidity. This feature prevents the danger of condensation within the confines of the facility, which may result in mold and spoilage.
2.Aeration Systems:
Aeration is the process of circulating air through grain to regulate its temperature and moisture. GSI's aeration systems employ fans with ducting to distribute air evenly throughout, and allow excess heat and moisture to be removed during storage.
3.Temperature Control:
GSI offers advanced temperature monitoring systems that can monitor grain temperatures in real time. These systems can alert operators about significant changes, and allow them to take swift measures to counter possible problems.
4.Moisture Control:
Moisture monitoring devices are found in GSI storage products. These gadgets allow the operators to monitor the moisture level of grain in storage. This is intended to limit the risk of grain reaching beyond the safe moisture level, which would eventually result in spoilage and pest infestation.
5.Design of GSI Grain Bins:
The GSI grain bins incorporate mechanisms that maximize the efficiency in drying and cooling processes. Among these are bin height and diameter and a strong structure that would be able to bear the pressure brought about by the creation of moisture.
6.Drying Equipment:
GSI offers drying solutions that can be coupled with storage systems. Proper drying of the grain before you store it minimizes its possibilities of encountering some moisture-related problems and extends the life to it.
7.Scheduled Maintenance and Inspection:
GSI advises, as part of their post-sell maintenance culture, that storage structures need to be inspected regularly along with scheduled maintenance for prompt detection of potential problems. This prevents the loss of integrity in the storage environment.
8.Pest Control Measures:
GSI integrates pest management methods that keep at bay infestations of stored grains, which is worsted by high moisture and temperature fluctuations.
9.Exploring Innovations:
GSI invests in the research and development of new technologies related to smart sensors and Internet of Things in order to improve the management of grain storage. Such technologies can contribute data analytics to better decisions around grain protection.
GSI effectively safeguards grain from the destructive effect of moisture and temperature variation by integrating the above-mentioned strategies and technologies that preserve quality as well as market value.
