Grain Terminal in Poti


Warehouses for storing grain are elevators. It is there that the grain processing and storage process is carried out. Before the grain is deposited in the elevator, it is necessary to carry out a part-time processing procedure, that is, the grain must acquire a form suitable for further processing.
The process of receiving grain products
The procedure for receiving grain at the elevator is performed in several successive stages.
Stage 1 - the examination of grain products. This procedure is performed before the grain is unloaded from transport. As a result of the analysis, the state of the grain product will be assessed and the stages of its underworking will be determined.
Depending on what kind of processing of grain is needed, for the volume of cargo allocate space on the elevator.
Stage 2 - before the grain is unloaded, it must be weighed.
Stage 3 - examination of the grain product. Importance of expertise: organoleptic indicators are analyzed, how uniformly the grain size is determined, whether there are many impurities and analytical indicators, the composition of useful substances, the degree of maturity, the level of gluten, and the absence of diseases are determined. For the analysis, automatic sampling is carried out, which ensures the independence of the examination. After the samples are taken, they are assigned a code, and they are sent to the laboratory for the procedure.
Stage 4 - the decision on the degree of processing of grain products on the basis of laboratory data. What level of cleaning is needed, what kind of drying is required and for what purpose this product will be used.
Initial grain processing
The procedure includes the following actions: the grain is cleaned on separators, it forms lots for further processing and is placed temporarily in a room that is well ventilated. Then the grain is placed in a grain drying machine. Then cleaned with air-sieve equipment.
After the procedures, the grain must be weighed.
In the granary, where all the grain mass is then poured, an even level of temperature and humidity is established. Grain matures in such conditions.
There is also a disinfecting procedure.
The processing technology and the sequence of operations are set depending on the purpose for which the grain is intended and what its features are.
Great importance in the processing of grain mass assign quality control. It happens that violations of the processing procedure technology reduces quality indicators. The key parameters of control operations are the color of the grains, the presence of impurities, odors, and the level of humidity. The laboratory determines the presence of pests, as well as the characteristics of density, glassiness.
Cleansing procedure
For complete and final cleaning of grain, separation equipment is used. These devices are able to distribute the mass into several fractions, separate the waste and weed out the grain of direct use. Then on the sieve separator mass divided into large and small grains.
Large and even grains are left as seed material, and for food purposes, non-standard grain goes for fodder.
The whole shipment process is carried out using mechanization.
Many agricultural producers of grain storage and all the necessary equipment are rented.
An excellent option can be high-tech storage, which are located next to the transport routes. As a rule, only professional specialists can serve this complex, whose services are also offered.
So, grain storage is the most important stage of the harvesting process. Therefore, it must be approached responsibly and comply with all technical requirements.
