I would like to know if somebody can help me. I need to find information about dry airation for grain, for silo grian.
In the USA, we store dry grain in a 'grain bin'.
A 'silo' is used to store high-moisture grain, corn fodder, and alfalfa hay that is 50-70% moisture, and it pickles itself in the absence of oxygen.
I understand in other parts of the world a 'silo' may be what we would call a 'grain bin'.
So, you would like to know more about keeping dry grain in a bin and using air flow through the grain to keep it in good condition?
Lots & lots of it done here where I live, what would you like to know? Generally grain needs to be dried to 16% moisture, lower if you wish to keep it longer, and you need to push air through the grain to keep up with the temperature outside - cool it for winter storage, warm it up in summer so it doesn't condence moisture as the outside air warms. It helps if you can stir the grain if it needs a lot of air & a bit of drying.
