The Upright Silo Deicer
| Division: | Health Sciences / None | | Category: | Senior | | Region: | Chignecto Central West | | City: | Milford, NS | | School: | Hants East Rural High School | | Abstract: | We built an Upright Silo Deicer which sits on the frozen silage between feeding times to thaw the frozen feed built up on the walls of silos. We tested it with a small model (2 cubic foot bin) and a larger scale model (250 gallon barrel). The Upright Silo Deicer does thaw enough silage to meet the needs of the daily feed requirements. |
