Protecting the elevator from birds

Protecting grain elevators and warehouses from birds — effective solutions

Birds are a serious problem for grain elevators, granaries and feed warehouses. Pigeons, crows, gulls and sparrows eat grain, contaminate products with droppings, damage equipment and create sanitary risks. The presence of birds can lead to significant economic losses and problems with storage quality. Therefore, protecting the elevator from birds is an important element of a modern grain storage system.

Why do birds inhabit elevators and warehouses?

Granaries provide ideal conditions for birds: a constant source of food, shelter from the weather, and the height of the structures for safe resting. If birds find access to the grain, they form permanent colonies.

• open grain or feed
• warm structures and beams
• absence of predators
• large areas of shelter

What problems do birds create in the grain elevator?

• grain losses
• dung contamination
• risk of infections and parasites
• equipment damage
• deterioration of product quality

Methods of protecting the elevator from birds

Bioacoustic repellers

The most effective method for large objects. The systems reproduce danger signals, creating the effect of the presence of predators. Birds leave the area and do not return.

Laser repellers

Used in large hangars and enclosed spaces. The moving light beam is perceived by birds as a physical threat.

Physical barriers

Spikes, nets, and wire prevent landing on beams and structures.

Combined systems

The combination of sound, light and barriers provides maximum effect and prevents habituation.

Which repeller is best for an elevator?

• open areas - bioacoustic
• hangars — laser
• beams and structures - spikes
• large complexes - combined

How to implement a security system on an elevator

• identify bird concentration areas
• estimate the area of the object
• choose a type of repeller
• to install at the height of structures
• to launch before colony formation

Advantages of professional elevator systems

• grain preservation
• sanitary safety
• equipment protection
• loss reduction
