"The Hapur silo in Uttar Pradesh is about 6.7 m in diameter and 23 m in height having a capacity of 500 tonnes. There is a head house having a diameter of 8.5 m and height of 47.3 m. Head houses contain grain elevators, auxilIary tanks, grain cleaning and disinfecting equipment, grain drier and weighing machines. A drying arrangement for reduction of moisture content is also provided. There are provisions for recording temperature fluctuations in the silos aeration and fumigation. It is the only modern storage structure with the government." http://hapur.nic.in/fcisilo.htm |

"Field peas and lupins stored at temperature of 35oC deteriorate at faster rate compared to high moisture content grains stored at 27oC. Grains stored at 20oC at 13% and 14% moisture content for lupins and field peas are ideal for storage with no loss in grain viability and mould growths during 10 months storage period (Cassells and Armstrong, 1998). Brown beans can be stored safely as long as 370 weeks at low moisture content (11 %) and low storage temperature (5oC), whereas grains stored at high moisture (23 %) and storage temperature (25oC) may last less than a week." http://www.grainscanada.gc.ca/storageentrepose/aafc-aac/pfsg-pgef-8-eng.htm |
