Screw-in grain fan – aerator
Grain and rapeseed aerator (for ventilation)
Purpose. The aerator is designed for ventilating grains and rapeseed to maintain proper storage conditions and ensure raw material quality.
Description
Aerators are equipped with three-phase or single-phase electric motors. The device can operate in air blowing or suction mode. Grain ventilation is essential to:
-
cool down the piled grains;
-
reduce their moisture;
-
maintain optimal temperature;
-
prevent grain heating and spoilage.

Construction
The aerator consists of main components: 1. aeration pipe; 2. centrifugal fan; 3. electric motor.
Operating principle
The grain mass is ventilated by blowing air through the aeration pipe. The air flow is created by a centrifugal fan. The aerator is installed directly into the grain pile by screwing the aeration pipe into the grain mass layer. Ventilation is carried out by blowing air through the inter-grain space.
Purpose and advantages of the aerator
The aerator is intended for:
-
drying and ventilating grain storage facilities;
-
eliminating self-heating spots (‘pockets’);
-
reducing pest activity;
-
lowering the temperature of grains in the pile;
-
ensuring air flow in the inter-grain space during post-harvest maturation;
-
preventing mold, fungi, and other pest proliferation;
-
saving space that would otherwise be used for moving grains within the storage;
-
reducing labor costs and raw material losses.
