Boiled corn in summer, corn porridge in winter, popcorn for movie nights, and corn kernels in salads—corn has long been a staple on our dining tables. But did you know that the "old corn" we often eat is just one member of the corn family? From sowing to serving, every step of corn’s journey holds little-known secrets. Today, let’s unlock corn’s "growth diary," explore the cool facts about this "golden grain," and learn how to keep fresh corn in top condition for longer.

As summer grain harvests arrive, hundreds of millions of jin of newly harvested grain flows from fertile fields into barns. Today’s modern granaries—equipped with intelligent temperature control and green storage systems—stand as guardians of "food safety on the tip of the tongue." The evolution of China’s "national grain barns" from simple earth and wood structures and open air straw enclosures to smart granaries integrated with low-temperature storage, controlled-atmosphere preservation, and intelligent monitoring—is more than just an upgrade of storage conditions; it represents a leap forward in safeguarding national food security.

Climate change is no longer a distant threat but a pressing reality reshaping global agricultural landscapes. Extreme weather events, shifting rainfall patterns, and rising temperatures are challenging the stability of grain production systems worldwide, making grain security a paramount concern for nations. In this context, the transition to green, low-carbon agriculture has emerged as both a strategic response to climate risks and a cornerstone for safeguarding long-term grain security. By integrating technological innovation with policy support, this transformation aims to build agricultural systems that are low-carbon, efficient, and sustainable—ultimately fortifying our ability to feed growing populations amid uncertainty.

Grain storage is a cornerstone of national food security, directly impacting food quality and market value. Factors such as moisture content, damaged grains, moldy kernels, and storage environment temperature/humidity are primary causes of grain deterioration. In recent years, with the promotion of green grain storage concepts, low-temperature storage and controlled atmosphere (CA) technologies have emerged as industry focal points. Low-temperature storage, by maintaining grain pile temperatures below 15°C, slows aging and preserves quality, while CA storage regulates nitrogen and carbon dioxide levels to significantly reduce deterioration. The future of grain storage lies in a synergistic "low-temperature + CA" model, integrated with intelligent monitoring systems, enabling energy-efficient and high-performance storage management. This development aligns with national green development strategies and offers advanced solutions for global grain loss reduction.

As core facilities in grain reserve systems, large-scale grain silos require meticulous construction quality to ensure storage safety, structural durability, and operational efficiency. Drawing on experience from thousand-ton and larger silo projects, LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. outlines critical construction considerations spanning foundation treatment, structural installation, and safety management, providing comprehensive technical guidance for large-scale grain silo construction.

In the construction of grain steel silos, material selection directly dictates structural safety, storage reliability, and long-term cost efficiency. LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., drawing on decades of industry expertise, has developed a refined material selection framework tailored explicitly for grain storage. This approach harmonizes mechanical performance, corrosion resistance, and environmental adaptability, ensuring every silo meets the stringent demands of preserving grain quality.

To enhance employees' safety awareness and standardize operational procedures, LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. recently organized the training program "Building a Solid Safety Line: Comprehensive Work Safety Standardized Operation Training". Covering all scenarios including workshop operations, silo work, and high-altitude construction, the training combined theoretical explanations with practical drills to strengthen the foundation of work safety.

LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., a leading provider of industrial storage solutions, recently participated in the highly anticipated 7th China Grain Trade Conference, held in SHENYANG. The event served as a pivotal platform for the company to connect with industry peers, showcase its cutting-edge technologies, and explore new opportunities in the dynamic grain trade sector.

The link between grain drying and long-term storage quality is a critical yet often overlooked factor in safeguarding grain security. For corn and paddy—two staple grains globally—suboptimal drying processes can lead to irreversible quality degradation during storage, from increased breakage to toxin contamination. Drawing on decades of industry research and on-site practice, LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. has developed tailored drying solutions that address the unique needs of corn and paddy, ensuring their quality remains stable from harvest to storage. Backed by peer-reviewed studies and real-world data, these solutions are reshaping how farmers and grain facilities protect their crops.

In the realm of grain storage and logistics, efficient material handling is the linchpin of seamless operations. LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., a leader in silo solutions, introduces its newly optimized drag conveyors—engineered to streamline grain transfer within silo complexes, bulk storage facilities, and processing plants. Designed for durability, versatility, and low maintenance, these conveyors are set to redefine efficiency in grain handling.

Edge-biting steel silos, renowned for their innovative interlocking design where steel plates "bite" into each other at the edges, have emerged as a game-changer in bulk material storage. Their unique construction offers a blend of durability, efficiency, and versatility that sets them apart from traditional storage solutions. Here are their five core advantages:

In the material flow of industrial warehousing, the efficiency and safety of bulk material loading and unloading have always been core concerns for enterprise operations. The independently developed hydraulic tilting platform system by LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd., relying on the stable performance of mechanical drive and practical design tailored to scenarios, provides a reliable solution for bulk material handling in silos, logistics parks and other scenarios, and has become an important support for improving operation efficiency and reducing safety risks.
