Anhui Project: LIAONING QIUSHI Completes 3,000-Ton Rapeseed Steel Silo Complex

23-06-2025

LIAONING QIUSHI Silo Equipment Engineering Co., Ltd. announces the successful completion of a key agricultural storage project in Anhui Province—three 3,000-ton steel silos specially designed for rapeseed storage. The project, commissioned by a leading local oilseed processor, exemplifies the company’s commitment to delivering high-performance storage solutions that combine structural excellence with operational efficiency.

Project Overview: Tailored for Rapeseed Storage

The Anhui rapeseed silo complex features:

Scale & Capacity: Three independent silos, each with a 3,000-ton storage capacity, totaling 9,000 tons of rapeseed storage.
Technical Specifications:

Diameter: 15.2 meters per silo
Total Height: 32.8 meters
Volume: 4,500 cubic meters per silo, optimized for rapeseed’s bulk density (620–680 kg/m³)

Material Selection: High-strength galvanized steel plates (zinc coating 275g/m²) to prevent corrosion and ensure food-grade storage safety.

Innovative Design for Rapeseed-specific Needs

LIAONING QIUSHI’s engineering team addressed rapeseed’s unique storage challenges:

Moisture Control:
Integrated with dehumidification systems and humidity sensors (accuracy ±1.5%) to maintain internal moisture below 9%, preventing oil oxidation and mold growth.
Temperature Management:
A dual-layer insulation system reduces thermal transfer by 40%, keeping internal temperatures stable within 15–25°C, critical for preserving rapeseed oil quality.
Anti-Bridge Discharge System:
Specially designed cone bottoms and aeration pads eliminate material bridging, ensuring smooth discharge at rates of up to 200 tons/hour.

Operational Efficiency & Cost Savings

The completed project delivers tangible benefits to the client:

Automated Handling:
Pneumatic conveying systems and intelligent control panels reduce labor needs by 50%, with full automation from loading to weighing.
Quality Preservation:
Real-time monitoring of oxygen content (maintained <12%) and carbon dioxide levels prevents rancidity, extending rapeseed storage viability by 6 months compared to traditional methods.
Energy Optimization:
Variable-frequency drives on fans and conveyors cut energy consumption by 28%, with an estimated annual electricity saving of 180,000 kWh.

Structural Excellence and Safety Features

The steel silos incorporate advanced safety designs:

Seismic Resistance: Engineered to withstand magnitude 7.5 earthquakes, suitable for Anhui’s geological conditions.
Wind Load Capacity: Capable of withstanding 180 km/h winds, exceeding local building codes.
Fire Prevention System: Integrated smoke detectors and inert gas suppression systems to mitigate fire risks in oilseed storage.

Client Testimonial

"Choosing LIAONING QIUSHI for our rapeseed storage was a strategic decision," said Mr. Wang, Project Director of the Anhui processor. "The 3,000-ton silos not only meet our current needs but also provide scalability for future expansion. The project was completed 20 days ahead of schedule, and the post-installation training ensured our team mastered operations quickly."

Sustainability in Storage Engineering

The project aligns with LIAONING QIUSHI’s green initiatives:

Recyclable Materials: 100% recyclable steel components reduce the environmental footprint.
Energy Efficient Design: The insulation and smart ventilation systems lower carbon emissions by 150 tons annually.
Land Conservation: Compared to concrete warehouses, the steel silos save 55% on land use, a key advantage in Anhui’s dense agricultural regions.

Conclusion: Setting New Standards in Oilseed Storage

The Anhui rapeseed silo project demonstrates LIAONING QIUSHI’s ability to deliver tailor-made storage solutions that balance technical innovation with practical needs. By combining steel structure expertise with rapeseed-specific engineering, the company has set a new benchmark for oilseed storage efficiency and safety.
