Hygiene and the elimination of pests and fungus is a major problem in the storage of bulk crops in modern agriculture. From the preparation of buildings used for food production through to mass food stores, cleanliness is essential to ensure the quality of the raw materials. For example, when potatoes are put into storage, the efficient application of a sprout-suppressing agrochemical extends the life of the product.
Stored Crop’s system for fogging agricultural food stores and crops with a very fine mist of appropriate agrochemical, ensures the whole volume is treated evenly. The flow and volume of dispensed chemical is precisely measured by Titan’s 900 series turbine flow meters to ensure consistent and safe dispersal of these controlled chemicals. The durability and chemical resistance of Titan’s flowmeters means that the different ‘fogging’ chemicals dispensed through Stored Crop’s machines, can be used in Europe, Argentina, Russia, China and Pakistan, for example, where each country has its own regulations regarding chemicals used for this process.
Both Titan’s PVDF and stainless-steel cased mini turbine models are used as they are able to function accurately and reliably with aggressive chemicals where careful control of application volume is absolutely critical.
