B. For large scale storage

♤ CAP Storage (Cover and Plinth): It involves the construction of brick pillars to a height of 14" from the ground, with grooves into which wooden crates are fixed for the stacking of bags of foodgrains. The structure can be fabricated in less than 3 weeks. It is an economical way of storage on a large scale.

♤ Silos: In these structures, the grains in bulk are unloaded on the conveyor belts and, through mechanical operations, are carried

to the storage structure. The storage capacity of each of these silos is around 25,000 tonnes.
