Silos, towering structures that have become synonymous with the farming landscape, are not just functional storage units but also hold a certain nostalgic charm. These iconic structures have been a part of agriculture for centuries, providing a reliable and efficient way to store grains, feeds, and other agricultural products. However, as newer storage methods gained popularity, many old silos fell into disuse and disrepair. But fear not, reviving old silos can be a rewarding project, both aesthetically and functionally. Reviving an old silo requires careful planning and consideration. Here are some steps to guide you through the process: 1. Inspection and Assessment: The first step is to thoroughly inspect the structure to gauge its condition and identify any potential issues. Look for signs of damage, such as cracks, leaks, or weakened foundations. It is essential to address structural concerns before proceeding with any renovations. 2. Clea...

Original conceptual illustration of an interior silo lining, not to scale; not a photograph of a specific project or an engineering specification. If you are unfamiliar with polyurea liners or their incredible qualities, you may not be able to truly understand exactly why they can be so beneficial to your silos. Polyurea liners can provide outstanding protection from abrasion and corrosion, as well as waterproof protection for your silos.  First off, you may be asking....What is polyurea? Polyurea lining systems can cure rapidly and protect suitably prepared concrete or steel. Formulation, VOC content, chemical resistance and application requirements are product-specific: polyurea is not inherently water-based or hazard-free. Consult the selected system’s technical and safety data sheets; uncured isocyanate-containing components can present serious exposure hazards. Polyurea made its debut into the UK performance coatings market in the 1980s and has since been reg...

Agriculture, one of the oldest industries known to mankind, has always relied heavily on effective storage methods to preserve its yields. Silos, widely used by farmers worldwide, provide a reliable and efficient way to store grains, feeds, and other agricultural products. However, as with any structure exposed to the elements, silos require proper maintenance and protection to ensure longevity and optimal functionality. This is where silo liner coatings come into play. Silo liner coatings are specially formulated materials applied to the interior surfaces of silos. These coatings offer a range of benefits, including preserving the quality of stored crops, preventing spoilage, enhancing structural integrity, and reducing maintenance costs. Let's delve into these benefits further. Firstly, silo liner coatings act as a protective barrier between the ...

A damp wall, rusty roof panel or patch of wet grain deserves attention. It does not yet tell you which repair to buy. Rain may be entering through a defect. Moist air may be condensing on a cold surface. Grain temperature and moisture differences may be contributing to the problem. A coating proposal becomes much more useful after those possibilities have been separated. Otherwise, an owner can pay to seal sound surfaces while the source of moisture remains unchanged. This investigation applies to structures used for dry-grain storage. Fermented silage, liquid feed and other stored materials introduce different service conditions and hazards that need their own assessment. Start with safe observations Do not enter a silo or grain bin to investigate a stain, walk on stored grain or attempt to break a crust. Use available monitoring records and observations from safe, authorized locations. Arrange specialist access when the inspection requires roof work or entry. OSHA's grain-ha...
