2.Moisture and moisture-proof: Corn silos are usually equipped with moisture-proof equipment and ventilation systems to control humidity and prevent corn from getting damp.
 


3.Pest and pest control: Corn silos usually adopt a sealed design to prevent pests and other harmful organisms from entering, and are equipped with pesticides, moth-proofing agents and other control measures.


4.Temperature control: Some corn silos are also equipped with temperature control equipment to ensure that the temperature of the corn is maintained within a suitable range during storage.


5.Easy to manage: Corn silos usually have structures that are easy to manage and operate, including grain unloading systems, testing equipment, and cleaning equipment.
