Longxing Grain Bags are an excellent solution for storing grains (Wheat, Barley, Sorghum, Maize, Soybean, Rice, Oats, Rye, Legumes, etc) that is increasingly popular all over the world.
The grain can be loaded in the bag directly from the harvester or from a truck and be stored safely for up to 2 years.
Longxing Grain Bag creates a hermetic environment that promotes oxygen depletion and simultaneous carbon dioxide production as a result of the respiratory process of the biotic components inside the bag (grain, fungi, insects, etc). The new atmosphere, rich in CO2 and poor in O2, suppresses, deactivates, or reduces not only the reproduction and/or development capacity of insects and fungi but also the grain’s own activity thus facilitating its preservation.
Benefits
Using Longxing Grain Bag for grain storage offers the following benefits compared to traditional storage methods (commercial silos/elevators, on-farm grain bins):
1.Lower initial investment (in machinery, not structures), no tied-up capital
2.Bags represent the actual harvest cost, further investment (i.e. grain bins) is not needed;
3.Faster, uninterrupted harvest independent from weather conditions, transportation availability and elevator bottlenecks;
4.Unlimited on-site storage, flexible capacity depending on yield – storage is now a variable cost;
5.Savings on freight to collection point;
6.Flexibility in storage and marketing of the grain;
7.Control over price and market fluctuations;
8.Higher grain quality and smaller losses due to spoilage;
9.Quality and variety separation;
Grain should be ideally bagged at moisture levels of 12-14% and not higher than 16%.
The levels may vary slightly depending on the kind of grain.
