Using AGRAR-BAG polyethylene silobags for storing agricultural products offers numerous benefits, including protection from moisture and pests, cost-effectiveness, and durability. To maximize these advantages, it is essential to follow the correct setup and usage procedures. This step-by-step guide will help you effectively use AGRAR-BAG polyethylene silobags for optimal storage.
1. Selecting the Right Location
Choose a Suitable Surface
Surface Type: AGRAR-BAG polyethylene silobags can be used on various surfaces, including asphalt, concrete, grass, and stubble fields.
Flat and Firm Ground: Ensure the ground is flat, firm, and free from sharp objects that could puncture the silobags.
Drainage: Choose a location with good drainage to prevent water accumulation around the silobags.
Consider Environmental Factors
Protection from Wind: Select a site with natural windbreaks, such as trees or buildings, to protect the silobags from strong winds.
Sun Exposure: While the silobags are UV-resistant, placing them in a shaded area can further extend their lifespan.
2. Preparing the Equipment
Required Machinery
Filling Machine: Use an AGRAR-BAG filling machine suitable for your silobag size. Ensure it is in good working condition.
Tractor: A tractor with a minimum of 80 horsepower is typically required to operate the filling machine.
Safety Checks
Inspect Equipment: Check all equipment for any signs of wear or damage before use.
Safety Gear: Ensure operators wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves, goggles, and sturdy footwear.
3. Setting Up the Polyethylene Silobag
Positioning the Silobag
Unroll the silobag: Unroll the AGRAR-BAG silobag on the prepared ground. Ensure it is straight and free of twists.
Anchor the silobag: Secure the open end of the silobag with weights or anchors to prevent it from moving during the filling process.
Connecting the Silobags to the Filling Machine
Attach the Silobags: Connect the open end of the silobag to the outlet of the filling machine. Ensure a tight and secure fit to prevent leaks.
Check Alignment: Ensure the silobag is properly aligned with the filling machine to allow for smooth and even filling.
4. Filling the Silobag
Operating the Filling Machine
Start the Machine: Begin the filling process by starting the filling machine and tractor.
Monitor the Process: Continuously monitor the filling process to ensure even distribution of the product within the silobag.
Adjust Flow Rate: Adjust the flow rate of the filling machine as necessary to prevent overfilling or underfilling.
Ensuring Optimal Fill
Fill to Capacity: Fill the silobag to its maximum capacity to minimize air pockets and ensure optimal storage conditions.
Avoid Overfilling: Do not overfill the silobag, as this can cause it to burst or become difficult to seal.
5. Sealing the silobag
Proper Sealing Techniques
Seal the Open End: Once the silobag is filled, seal the open end using an AGRAR-BAG sealing tape or a similar sealing mechanism.
Ensure Airtight Seal: Make sure the seal is airtight to prevent moisture and pests from entering the silobag.
Double-Check the Seal
Inspect the Seal: Inspect the seal for any gaps or weaknesses. Re-seal if necessary to ensure a secure closure.
Add Extra Protection: Consider adding an additional layer of sealing tape for extra protection against leaks.
6. Monitoring and Maintenance
Regular Inspections
Visual Inspections: Conduct regular visual inspections of the silobags to check for any signs of damage or wear.
Check Seals: Regularly check the seals to ensure they remain airtight and secure.
Pest Control
Monitor for Pests: Keep an eye out for any signs of pest activity around the silobags.
Implement Controls: Use pest control measures, such as traps or repellents, to keep pests away from the storage area.
7. Unloading the Silobags
Preparing for Unloading
Prepare Equipment: Ensure the unloading equipment, such as an AGRAR-BAG unloading machine, is ready and in good working condition.
Position the Silobag: Position the silobag in a suitable location for unloading.
Unloading Process
Open the Silobag: Carefully open the sealed end of the silobag to begin the unloading process.
Operate the Unloading Machine: Use the unloading machine to remove the stored product from the silobag. Monitor the process to ensure smooth and efficient unloading.
