​Brazilian technology helps reduce grain losses in silos and warehouses

Around 3% of the total grain harvested is lost within storage units, due to problems such as yellowing, burning grains, spoilage, mold and insects. There is also the problem of silo sweating, which occurs both in the upper layer of the grain mass and on the side of the silo. Observing that this problem occurs systematically, Cycloar has placed an important solution on the market to reduce these losses.

It is an exhaust system, created in Brazil and which has been revolutionizing Brazilian storage. Cycloar's action is to eliminate these occurrences, naturally and at no cost, and preserve the harvest stored with better quality. Farmers, in addition to obtaining better quality of stored grain, reduce storage costs, obtaining extra profits, such as electricity savings, uniformity of moisture in the mass and elimination of odors, which were previously unavailable. Cycloar reduces these losses by up to 50% because it removes the hot air that forms inside silos and warehouses. “Many producers and agribusinesses have already proven the efficiency of this technology, which is revolutionizing storage concepts,” says the director of Qualygran, Julio Espel, a company that provides commercial consultancy for Cycloar.
