Whole-grain silos for high-moisture corn: gas‑tight storage in reinforced concrete

Storing harvest‑moist whole‑kernel corn is a cost‑effective alternative to drying. Our whole‑grain silos made of reinforced concrete are engineered to ensure natural preservation with maximum gas‑tightness, helping retain the full nutrient value of your harvest.

Trust our 60 years of experience in designing and building gas‑tight tanks.

The principle of gas‑tight preservation: natural and effective

In a whole‑grain silo, unshredded (whole‑kernel) corn becomes its own preserving medium. This natural process protects feed quality:

  • Oxygen consumption: harvest‑moist corn consumes residual oxygen in the voids between kernels.
  • CO2 enrichment: a CO2‑rich atmosphere forms, displacing oxygen.
  • Preservation: without oxygen, harmful processes such as mold growth cannot occur; the corn is preserved naturally.

Our solution for maximum gas‑tightness

This process requires a completely gas‑tight silo. Our monolithic, in‑situ reinforced‑concrete construction fulfills the highest requirements and protects your crop.

  • Jointless construction: we cast the silo walls in a single pour, without construction joints. The result is a tight and extremely stable structure.
  • Special gas‑tight barrier: a food‑safe internal coating additionally seals the concrete surface and ensures high gas‑tightness.
  • Precise installation: with modern technology and an experienced team, we deliver correct, on‑time installation—the foundation for consistently reliable whole‑grain silo performance.
