A Conceptual Proposal for a Detachable Grain Storage Silo

India is the second-largest food producer in the world. Moreover, India is anticipated to generate 9.5% of the world’s agri-food output. Effective storage of harvested grains is crucial for maximizing their utilization. Smaller storage options, such as gunnysacks, are ineffective in preventing rodents from accessing grains. Grains stored in large open places, such as godowns, are also susceptible to the same problem. In contrast, grain silos safeguard grains and deter rodent infestation. Grain silos, in general, are massive structures and are strategically located. Thus, the grain generated in each region must be conveyed over a significant distance to be stored. To address this limitation, the study proposes the conceptual development of a portable grain silo system, which can be easily transported and assembled at a desired location. This eliminates the need to transport food grain across significant distances and allows farmers to store their harvests close to their farms. Another feature of the proposed system is its rapid disassembly, relocation to an alternate place, and ease of reassembly. Considering these advantages, the proposed system is expected to minimize grain loss and improve food security in a region.
