Corn Storage Silos & Elevators

Corn!

Corn is the main source of the starch that's converted into ethanol, and production facilities consume many carloads per day.

Many ethanol plants keep about a 10-day corn supply on hand, all of which is stored in on-site concrete silos.

A conveyor leg moves the corn from the unloading shed to the silos and a smaller conveyor sends it from storage to the processing center.

On your layout, the Corn Storage Silos & Elevators kit brings a landmark to your North American Ethanol complex.

All plants need corn storage silos, and large plants may need several.

The kit includes the large double silo, rooftop handrails, the inbound elevator leg and the small elevator and conveyor bridge that moves corn to the processing center.

While designed as a vital addition to an ethanol plant, with the addition of your own hopper car loading chutes (available separately), the tall concrete silos and elevators in this kit can also be used as a stand-alone trackside grain elevator or as a modern addition to a larger grain handling facility.
