Boschi Servizi Srl

Boschi Servizi SRL is proud to introduce you the most advanced and economical system to store grains. A storage system of cereals in horizontal polyethylene bags that can be easily applied to every kind of reality holding down both investments and operating costs. This new system is based upon the really simple principle of storing grain in hermetic plastic bags where the respiratory process of the biotic components of the bulk (grain, fungi, insects, etc.) consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. This new atmosphere, rich in CO2 and poor in O2, suppresses, deactivates, or reduces not only the reproduction and/or development capacity of insects and fungi but also the grain’s own activity thus facilitating its preservation.

The use of silobags avoiding conventional concrete or metallic silos finally solves at the same time logistical, technical and economical problems of the traditional cereals storage.

The main advantages customers find using plastic bags to store dry grains are lower cost and lower investment. The trading cost of grain during the harvesting season is higher than the rest of the year. Researches show that, by storing grain in bags, instead of sending it to a storage facility, during a three- or four-month period, farmers save 20%-25% in the case of wheat, 30%-35% for maize, and 20%-25% in the case of soybean, depending on the distance to a port, marketing system, etc. Besides these financial advantages, plastic bags facilitate storing differentiated grain by separating it by quality, by variety, etc. relatively easily, and they are highly efficient in keeping the material differentiated. Moreover, plastic bags allow storing the grain in the field itself, turning harvesting more dynamic. During harvesting, grain transport and reception at storage facilities are actual bottlenecks. Trucks are never enough during the harvesting season, and this increases freight costs and logistics problems for agribusinesses. The effects of the delay in receiving the grain at a storage facility are frequently felt back at the harvest itself. Not only producers benefit from the use of plastic bags. Storage facilities find in bags a flexible system that increases their capacity depending on their storage needs in a given year. In a good harvest season, they may put in bags some of the grain received without investing much. On the contrary, if the harvest is less than expected, storage facilities are not left unused, thus maximizing their use.

The main advantages of using the plastic bags storage system are:

Minimum initial investment
