Why invest in the The Grain Saver ™ concept

The Grain Saver ™ gives you all the capacity you will ever need whether you have to store 500 or 100.000 tons or more of corn, wheat, soybeans, barley, oats, rapeseed, sunflower, rice or other grains.

The Grain Saver ™ allows you to concentrate on what you do best: harvesting your valuable crop and making sure it is securely stocked up. Forget about complicated grain handling logistics and hasty selling decisions taken under the pressure of the moment, as this can cost you a bundle of money further down the road. Once your grain is safely stored, you can analyze your options leisurely and take the best course of action.

The Grain Saver ™ is a suitable technique for keeping all kinds of pelleted materials such as dry grain such as milling wheat, malting barley, sunflowers, cattle feed and fertilizers inside a silo bag.

The Grain Saver ™ puts you in business at a fraction of the cost of a grain silo plant. If you already own a grain handling plant, the system will let you expand your operation by adding as much as you require to your present storage capacity, thus enabling you to handle larger volumes of grain connected to existing grain driers.

The Grain Saver ™ means you keep your grain protected within a modified atmosphere that is poor in oxygen and rich in carbon dioxide. This anaerobic environment virtually eliminates insects and fungal diseases without the use of chemical substances and this means less toxicity, less labor and important savings in money. Also, the natural metabolic processes that take place within the grain are slowed down, so conservation of the product is extended in time.

The Grain Saver ™ is a very functional and useful instrument if you own a grain dryer, or if you own a commercial grain facility and wish to conserve the grain in optimal condition for long periods of time. It will allow you to extract the grain from the bags, dry the grain at an even pace, and store it inside bags once again. This kind of versatility is one of the reasons why the The Grain Saver ™ technique has become popular with users that range from small producers to huge commercial grain handlers.

The Grain Saver ™ enables you to run your grain handling in few steps with few lifting modes. By keeping grain away from being exposed of the environement, you'll reduce risk of contamination by birds, dirt etc, making feed- and foodstuff comply with health requirements that is expected getting more rigid over time.

The Grain Saver ™ allows you to classify different varieties or grades of grain in an easy and convenient way. Every bag can be tagged to show data that is relevant; even one same bag can be marked to show the boundary line, hence differentiation, between grain already bagged and the grain being loaded subsequently: grain variety, quality, paddock harvested, date of harvest, moisture content; individualized information for each bag that will help you take the best decisions when marketing your grain. For example, if you are selling only part of your produce, it will be better to sell initially the grain with the higher moisture content and retain the grain that is drier and will keep longer.

The Grain Saver ™ lets you bag your grain even if moisture levels slightly exceed base moisture level regarded as safe for storing grain in bins. It is generally considered that 2 or 3 percentage points over standard moisture levels is within acceptable range when bagging. Nevertheless there is an interaction of other factors, mainly ambient temperature, that can affect the results, so it is important to systematically monitor a bag’s contents, specially so when moisture and/or temperature indicators are high, in order to take preemptive action (i.e., extracting the grain from the bag or providing shade to lower temperature inside bag) should any signal of incipient deterioration be detected. In any event, when grain is stored at high moisture levels it should be dried as soon as possible after withdrawal from the bag because once aerobic conditions have been reestablished, previously dormant microorganisms can quite rapidly cause damage.

The Grain Saver ™ can be easily mastered and dexterity in filling and clearing out bags is soon acquired.

The Grain Saver ™ means that your grain is stored on-farm, and keeping your hard-earned harvest in your own premises means taking direct control of your grain inventory, with no third party intervention and no storage, loading or unloading fees to pay.

The Grain Saver ™ helps you limit costly and time-consuming trips to third-party grain handling facilities. Avoid expensive short freight runs from field to silo plants. Instead, set aside a tract of land in your own grounds, prepare it adequately and when harvest day arrives, go ahead with the bag filling operation, speedily and efficiently unloading from the grain wagons directly into the bagger at some 200-250 tons/h. Bagging directly through a grain cart means that only one operator is tied to the operation since the same person can undertake all work.

The Grain Saver ™ furthermore allows you to easily and efficiently discharge the grain from the bags and load it on trucks with the extractor, which delivers at a rate of 120 tons/hour Not only does this rate of work exceed the capabilities of the largest pneumatic grain conveyors, but also the accomplishes the task powered by just 70 HP and only one operator manning the whole operation. Add to this performance a maintenance schedule far simpler and less expensive than the upkeep required by a vacuum machine, and you have an unbeatable combination. This translates to huge savings in your operating expenses.

The Grain Saver ™ is economical. A typical bag with a 9 ft. (3 meter) diameter and a length of 200 ft. (60 meters) is able to hold from 200 to 220 tons of grain depending on variety.

The Grain Saver ™ gives you the extra capacity that you require when a bumper crop comes in and commercial storage space is either unavailable or scarce and expensive. In emerging markets, you can forget about the cheating and hassle since you control your grain.The Grain Saver ™ allows you to bag your crop as soon as you haul it in from the field, with minimum delays. With a loading rate of approximately 200-250 tons per hour the bagger puts away the grain inside the bag as fast as you can feed the hopper.

The Grain Saver ™ makes you forget about seasonal rushes and over costs. Harvest season causes a peak demand of services. Road freight, handling in commercial bins, grain drying processing; all of these are hard to come by and usually costlier at this time of the year. Of course you will eventually use some of these services: the grain will be transported at some time in the future and it will probably require drying, but this can be planned and done with enough time, when demand has subsided and costs have come down.

The Grain Saver ™ is a proven system that has grown steadily and increased in recognition every year since its introduction. In Argentina, one of the important grain producing countries of the world, with a climate range and agricultural techniques that are similar to those found in countries such as Romania, Ukraine, Russia and Australia, the system enjoys widespread acceptance. In the year 2007, roughly one third of the country’s harvest of 97 million tons of grain is being stored in bags.

The Grain Saver ™ is ultimately a financial instrument that gives you more effective control of your grain resources. Being able to stock up your grain on-farm for the space of time that may be required will maximize your profits as you sell your crop when the market commands the highest prices.
