Modern type storage
Modern storage structures for seeds and grains include silos and storage bins. Silos are large steel structures constructed in clusters at processing plants to store grains in bulk. Storage bins can be made from reinforced concrete, steel, aluminum, fiber glass or brick. Modern storage structures provide advantages like less expensive and easier handling, quality control, less space needed, and protection from losses due to birds and rodents. Silos and bins are classified as deep or shallow depending on whether a plane of rupture from the grain surface reaches the opposite side before emerging.
