Why Trunel’s Silo Bags Are the Best Choice for Grain Storage

At Trunel, we prioritize durability, affordability, and eco-friendly practices in every product.

Our silo bags are engineered for the rigors of farming, drawing on our expertise in polypropylene and plastic solutions to deliver dependable performance.

Here’s what makes them stand out: 

• Superior Protection: Multi-layer construction (up to 240 microns thick) blocks UV rays, resists punctures, and creates a hermetic seal to control oxygen levels, reducing insect activity and fungal growth without chemicals – ideal for organic farming. 

• Cost-Effective Storage: Store up to 200 tonnes per bag at a low cost per tonne, helping you avoid expensive on-farm silos while negotiating better freight rates outside peak seasons. 

• Quality Preservation: Maintain grain moisture and temperature below ambient levels, ensuring minimal weight loss and retained protein content – research shows hermetic silo bags can keep fungal counts low and prevent spoilage over months of storage. 

• Easy and Flexible Use: Roll out and fill with standard equipment; available in sizes like 9ft x 60m for maize, wheat, or sorghum. UV-treated for outdoor durability in Gauteng’s harsh sun or beyond. 

• Eco-Friendly Design: Fully recyclable materials align with sustainable farming, reducing waste and supporting your commitment to the environment. 

• Tailored Support: From custom printing for branding to expert advice on site preparation, our team ensures seamless integration with your operations. 

In sub-Saharan Africa, where handling and storage contribute to 8% of cereal post-harvest losses, solutions like our quality silo bags provide an economic edge for producers. 

How Trunel’s Silo Bags Work for Effortless Grain Storage

Getting started is straightforward, backed by our commitment to service excellence: 

1. Site Preparation: Choose a flat, well-drained area on your farm – no special foundations needed. 
2. Filling the Bag: Use compatible loaders to fill the silo bag, stretching it to expel air and create an anaerobic environment rich in CO2 for natural pest control. 
3. Sealing and Monitoring: Secure the ends and monitor via simple sampling ports; store for up to 18-24 months with minimal intervention. 
4. Retrieval: Unload with ease using out-loading equipment, preserving grain quality from field to market. 

Our best silo bags hold grains like maize, wheat, barley, and soybeans securely, with three-layer designs (white outer for solar reflection, black inner for light blockage) ensuring watertight performance.
