BV ventilated hopper with cone bottom

Purpose: Bunkers BV, capacity of 25, 40 and 100 cubic metres, is designed for ventilation (cooling), operational storage of grain. It is used at agricultural, procurement and grain processing enterprises. Constructive features: The hopper consists of a roof, cylindrical body, internal ventilation shaft, fan, cone base at an angle of 45 degrees and supports. The hopper is loaded through a spigot in the centre of the roof. Discharging is via the centre opening in the cone base (with manual slide valve). Unloading is carried out into a conveyor or a vehicle, depending on the height of the hopper supports. Advantages: By cooling the grain in the BW hoppers, it can be dried to a moisture content of 15-15.5%. The dryer works only on heating, its productivity increases. In the hoppers the moisture content of the grain is reduced to 2%. According to this technology the qualitative indicators of grain (growth and germination energy) increase.
