Grain fumigation in silos and warehouses

Aluminium phosphide fumigation of grain and oilseeds stored in silos, bins and warehouses across Romania, by a GAFTA approved fumigator.

All services

Fumigation controls insects in stored grain without moving it. We set the dosage from the volume of the space and the quantity of grain, apply the aluminium phosphide tablets, seal the bin or warehouse, mark the area and keep it closed for the exposure period. Then we ventilate and measure the residual gas before anyone goes in.

What it covers

  • Fumigation of grain and oilseeds in silos, bins and warehouses
  • Sealing the space and marking the danger area
  • Exposure, with the space kept closed
  • Ventilation and residual gas measurement before re-entry
  • Fumigation certificate

How it goes

  1. We agree the space, the cargo and the dosage.
  2. We seal the space and mark the area.
  3. We apply the tablets and hold the exposure.
  4. We ventilate, measure the residual gas and hand over the certificate.

What you receive

The fumigation certificate: fumigant, dosage, quantity of grain, spaces treated, date of application and exposure period.

Questions about this service

Does fumigation affect the quality of the grain?

Applied correctly, no. The gas dissipates on ventilation, and the residual concentration is measured before re-entry.

Can you also check the grain?

Yes, as a separate inspection service: we draw samples, carry out the physical analyses on site (moisture, test weight, foreign matter, infestation) and determine the quantity by volumetric calculation. If the grain is infested, you decide whether we fumigate. Inspection and fumigation have separate documents.
