SVALZ has unveiled the CornVault 871T, a scientifically engineered grain cooling system designed specifically for tropical and subtropical climates, setting a new benchmark in grain preservation for high-value cereals. Launched with endorsements from industry leaders including Prakash Kumar Routh (Pasupati Group), Rajeev Kumar (Big Dutchman Agriculture India), Cagdas Karakuzu (Mysilo), Avra (Lambton), and Ankush Kamboj (Sun Boilers), the innovation is positioned to address long-standing challenges in grain storage across feed mills in humid regions.
Corn, known for its high surface oil content and large kernel size, remains the most sensitive cereal to store in these climates. When moisture levels exceed 13.5%, biological activity accelerates inside silos, triggering fungal growth and dangerous toxins such as aflatoxins and fumonisins. These contaminants severely impact food safety, degrade nutritional value, and cause heavy economic losses often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
Traditional cooling methods, including ambient aeration, fail to counter rising temperatures in humid conditions, resulting in mold formation, enzymatic breakdown, and large-scale grain quality deterioration. Recognizing this critical gap, SVALZ engineered the CornVault 871T to offer precise, science-backed cooling tailored for tropical environments.
Designed by Pari Mamallan, Founder of SVALZ and a mechanical engineer with global expertise in grain behaviour, the CornVault 871T integrates advanced airflow management, coil engineering, refrigerant control, and filtration delivering a holistic, system-wide solution. Over eight months, SVALZ rigorously redesigned every technical detail to overcome existing industry failures.
The machine features a 2 mm stainless-steel cooling coil chamber, a proprietary tropical protective coating to resist corrosion, EC fans for energy efficiency, and compatibility with R407C/R134a refrigerants. Optional EEV technology allows fine temperature modulation, ensuring stable cooling curves throughout storage. IoT-enabled sensors further provide real-time monitoring of temperature and system health.
CTO Jagannathan emphasized that the CornVault 871T goes beyond lowering temperature, aiming to halt the entire spoilage cycle. “A truly stable silo is a safe silo,” he said, highlighting the system’s ability to prevent mold, toxins, and nutritional decline even in high-humidity, sulphur-heavy environments.
With the CornVault 871T, SVALZ aims to transform grain storage from a risk-laden process into a strategic strength for feed mills and large-scale grain handlers.
