ORTHO-GUARD
A TOTAL APPROACH TO TREATING AND STORING
HIGH-MOISTURE FEED GRAIN.
ORTHO GRAIN PRESERVATIVE
Ortho Grain Preservative offers a practical way of cashing in on the
advantages of harvesting and storing high mositure feed grains.
Ortho Gram Preservative lets you move your crop directly from the field
to storage where it gets a chemical coating of protection before it goesjnto
conventional buildings.
The result: there's no need to tie up huge amounts of capital in drying
equipment or sealed silos. Grain that’s treated according to label directions
resist spoilage for up to 12 months when stored in metal bins, wood cribs
and similar low cost storage structures
Unit available on rental basis or can be purchased.
Treats up to 900 bushel per hour, depending on moisture content of
gram T.M.
See or call us for complete information on Ortho-Guard and applicator.
