When it comes to grain storage, Australian farmers face unique challenges, from extreme weather conditions to pest control and long-term grain preservation. Choosing the right silo is critical for maintaining grain quality and ensuring operational efficiency. Among the various storage options, flat bottom silos stand out as the preferred choice for many farms across Northern NSW and Queensland.
With Gwydir Group’s expertise in delivering high-quality grain storage solutions, including SilOz silos, farmers can trust our durable, Australian-made flat bottom silos to meet their storage needs. Let’s explore why these silos are the go-to option for Australian farms.
Advantages of Flat Bottom Silos
1. Cost-Effective Bulk Storage
Flat bottom silos provide excellent value for large-scale grain storage. Their design allows for high-capacity storage, reducing the cost per tonne compared to other silo types. This makes them ideal for farms with significant grain output, ensuring maximum storage at minimal cost.
2. Enhanced Grain Preservation
Protecting grain from pests, moisture, and temperature fluctuations is a top priority for Australian farmers. Gwydir Group’s flat bottom silos are engineered with advanced sealing and aeration systems, ensuring optimal storage conditions. The incorporation of aeration fans and monitoring technology helps maintain grain quality over extended periods.
3. Durability and Strength
Australian farms operate in harsh environments, requiring storage solutions that withstand extreme weather conditions. Our SilOz flat bottom silos are constructed from Australian-made galvanised steel, offering superior strength and corrosion resistance. With robust design and compliance with Australian standards, these silos provide long-term reliability.
4. Easy Grain Management and Outflow
While flat bottom silos require a sweep auger for unloading, they offer smooth and efficient grain flow. Gwydir Group provides integrated material handling solutions, including conveyors, bucket elevators, and augers, ensuring seamless grain movement from storage to transport.
5. Customisation to Meet Farm-Specific Needs
Every farm has unique storage requirements. Gwydir Group specialises in designing custom flat bottom silos tailored to specific farm sizes, grain types, and handling processes. Whether you need additional aeration systems, fumigation capabilities, or integrated handling solutions, our team ensures your silo meets operational demands.
