Key Benefits & Advantages
- Our grain and refrigerated storage units are designed specifically for markets where food safety and security are important
- Blumberg Grain Storage Units are the most cost effective grain and refrigerated storage available on the market today
- All steel construction provides durability and long service life
- Easily integrated with conventional materials, such as, block or precast concrete walls
- Secured storage prevents spoilage, insect and rodent infestation and pilfering
- The units are based on an innovative Pre-Engineered modular design (Patent Pending)
- Blumberg Grain Units are 35% less than the weight of conventional structures
- On a cost basis alone, these units beat most contemporary conventional designs by over 50% while providing a superior product
- Because the design is modular, the storage capacity is scalable and fully flexible to respond to customer needs
- Can accommodate both dry and refrigerated storage in any configuration
- Our units are designed to be energy self sufficient providing independent stand alone operation
- It is the only product specifically designed to use various sources for energy from solar, to generators to wind
- The design includes passive venting and controls.
- Designed to meet specific load requirements, building codes and other local specifications
- Quality certification of ISO 9000-2000
- The units are Secured to poured concrete slabs
- They are able to accommodate both bulk and bag storage
- They can be easily loaded and unloaded
- The units can be manufactured and erected faster and easier than any competing product and structures
- Installation of these units does not require a specialized skilled labor force since they rely on bolt-in-place rather than welded construction. The same advantages are present in refrigerated storage units
- Complies with all USAID standards and specifications
- Our product can save 50% of agricultural post harvest output that currently rots in the fields, is consumed by rodents and insects, or pilfered.
Automated Environmental Controls
- The unit can be automated using with State-of–the –Art technology that is PC based and able to control, monitor and record the temperature and humidity from anywhere in the world.
- Grain moisture content and temperature are the primary factors affecting grain deterioration in storage. If these factors are not properly monitored and controlled, grain quality can deteriorate quickly due to mold growth, rot, sprouting and insect infestation.
- Grain storage automation hardware and software is essential to monitor the environmental conditions that can affect the quality and life of your crops. It enhances the ability to store grain longer with confidence to get the highest possible market premiums. The net result is a significantly improved bottom line.
- Automated environmental controls can be used to create a specialized controlled atmosphere for grain, produce and perishables.
- Automated environmental controls carry out routine measurements automatically. Highly accurate sensors read ambient air humidity and temperature at various locations in the storage unit and control the air flow based on a preset goal for the moisture level of the grain.
- Real time automated grain storage monitoring/data management makes it possible to remotely gather and analyze the facility conditions and detect and correct problems early to keep the quality of your inventory for highest possible market value.
- Monitor temperature, moisture, gas, insect detection, weather. Control aeration fans, ventilation, and heaters from remote locations.
- Controls can be set to give an alarm when any grain storage parameter is breached so that corrective action can be taken immediately. It provides timely warnings of equipment failure, minimising the risk of spoiled stock.
- Additionally, monitors can control access and egress to prevent unwanted breach of your grain storage facility and theft of the inventory.
