Silosy do przechowywania ryżu - aby zapobiegać stratom żywności i tym samym osiągnąć bezpieczeństwo żywnościowe
Efficient post-harvest handling of rice ensures food security. Keep rice clean, dry, and undamaged during storage. Factors to consider:
-Moisture content: Aim for ≈ 25% at harvest.
-Temperature: High temps promote fungi growth and oxidation.
-Storage period: Shorter is better; clean grain before storage.
-General condition: Check for broken seeds, impurities, and more.
Post-harvest processes include reception, cleaning, drying, and storage.
To maintain quality:
-Reception: Analyze heat, moisture, and impurities. Use insect control measures and an aspiration system.
-Cleaning: Install an integrated system with a magnet separator, drum sieve, grain precleaner, grain cleaner, and buffer silos. Ventilation and exhaust fans are crucial.
-Drying: Reduce moisture to safe levels. Prevent discoloration, loss of germination, freshness, and breakage.
-Storage: Popular options are steel silos, concrete silos, warehouses, and bag silos. Optimize storage with proper management.
