1. INTRODUCTION
The GrainPro® GrainSafe BagTM - 1.0 is a portable bagged storage for grain and seed, normally
set-up at ground levels such as on concrete pavement or on a pallet. The use of a platform is
also an option. It safely stores any dry agricultural commodities like maize, wheat, paddy,
coffee, and others at or below safe moisture content. It works under the principle of
hermeticity (airtight). It is made from a specially designed food grade, Ultra-Hermetic material,
and zipper system. Insects’ natural breathing process depletes the available oxygen and
replaces it with carbon dioxide. This conversion typically occurs within 10 days of storage. The
heavier the infestation, the more rapid is the kill. The liner of the GrainSafe BagTM is a UV-
resistant, waterproof, low permeability and is resistant to rodent penetration when properly
installed.
1.1. FEATURES:
1.1.1. The quality of commodities is preserved without the use of chemicals.
1.1.2. It maintains its effectiveness under rainfall and wind conditions, evenmonsoons.

7.2.TERMITE CONTROL
Overview of Termite
a. The two most common types
of termites are "dry wood"
and "ground," or
subterranean termites.
b. Termites need moisture to
survive and will die if
exposed to sunlight or open
air for more than a few
minutes. Their tunnels
protect them from these
elements.
c. High moisture areas like basements and crawl spaces are very attractive to
termites and can serve as starting points for an infestation.
Description (Subterranean Termite)
a. Food and moisture:
▪Need a great deal of moisture from soil or damp wood. Cellulose (from wood)
is part of their diet.
b. Habitat:
▪Usually, they live in the soil but can be above ground if enough moisture is
present. They have large colonies.
c. Evidence of activity:
▪Protective mud tubes ascending from the ground to the structure or protruding
from walls, etc.
7. SITE SELECTION
5.8 In selecting a site, look for a concrete or
asphalt platform.
a. A smooth area away from standing or
running water.
b. Prepare the site by clearing away all
sharp objects (stones, broken glasses,
nails, etc.) that may puncture the GS
Bag-1.0TM.
c. An inspection path around the
perimeter (at least 75cm).
If ground will be used as a flooring, put a
layer (5cm) of fine sand (or any equivalent)
on top of the soil as a ground foundation
to prevent rats and termites from
damaging the bottom of the GS Bag-1.0TM.

9/18
GrainPro® GrainSafe™ Bag-1.0 Instruction Manual
MA4010RLR1009-6
d. Prevention:
▪Treat the soil before construction using termiticide.
▪For more information search for Chemical Soil Treatment.
▪A termite bait station monitoring system to monitor termite activity and bait
placements after detection.
▪Regular inspections.
e. Control Measures:
▪With current activity use a baiting program or a termite barrier treatment.
Termite Treatments
a. The traditional method of controlling subterranean termites is to apply a liquid
pesticide, known as a termiticide, to the soil. This chemical treatment relied on the
application of a chemical barrier around and beneath the structure designed to
block all possible routes of termite entry. Any termites attempting to penetrate
through the treated soil were either killed or repelled.
b. There are several different insecticides currently used by pest control operators
for termite soil treatments. All of them are safe and effective when used per label
directions. The insecticides remain effective in the soil for approximately 5 to 10
years.
c. Effective termite treatments require a great volume of termiticide.
7.3.RODENT CONTROL
Prevention:
a. Eliminate unnecessary folds on the sidewalls of the GS Bag 1.0TM when installed.
b. Remove all potential sources of food from the premises, such as scattered grains, etc.
c. Remove all trash and debris around the GS Bag 1.0TM as it may use a shelter of rodents.
d. Keep trash cans closed with tightly fitted lids and should be away from the GS Bag
1.0TM.
e. Trim trees, bushes, and vines at least 1.5 meters away as it may be used by rodents to
crawl on top of the GS Bag 1.0TM.
Procedure in installing wire mesh: (Optional)
For ground installations and for areas with high risk of rodents’ attack, it is highly recommended
to use wire mesh not larger than ¼ inch to exclude mice.
a. To install the wire mesh, prepare the selected site by clearing away all sharp objects
(stones, broken glass, nails, etc.) that may puncture the GS Bag 1.0TM. (Refer to 7.1.2)
b. Cut the wire mesh at least 50 centimeters wider than the bottom of the GS Bag 1.0TM.
c. Spread the wire mesh before the fine
sand and equivalent as a recommended
protection of the GS Bag 1.0TM.
d. Then, follow the standard procedure on
how to install GS Bag 1.0TM.
Procedure for installing GI sheet: (Optional)
a. Install the GI sheet 1 meter away from the
sidewall of the GS Bag 1.0TM.
b. Make sure that the GI sheet has wooden
posts or any equivalent that can
withstand the wind.
Requirement for GI sheet:

8.1.5. Required capacity:
a. Keep the sacks stable by loading the
succeeding layers in a crisscrossmanner.
b. Continue piling until the desired GS Bag-
1.0 height is reached.
8.2. ZIPPING
8.2.1. Preparing to zip:
a. After the GS Bag-1.0 has been filled to
its recommended capacity, position the
hermetic zipper flat on top of the stack.
b. Make sure that the zipper tracks are
free from dirt so that the zipping can be
done properly.
8.2.2. Using the zipper pull:
a. Starting from the end of the zipper,
place the smaller black running wheel
inside the liner facing upward to lock
the bottom liner zipper track.
b. Place the larger wheel outside the liner
facing upward to lock the top liner
zipper track.
c. Rotate the zipper pull’s plastic handle
180° toward its pulling loop, forcing the
tongues and grooves of the two zipper
tracks together.
d. Slide the zipper pull to the other entire
length of the zipper track.

12/18
GrainPro® GrainSafe™ Bag-1.0 Instruction Manual
MA4010RLR1009-6
e. To make zipping easier, two persons are
required. One will do the zipping and the
other will hold the other end steadily
making both sections of the zipper in a
straight line to avoid zagging.
8.2.3. Completing the zipper process:
a. Align the marks (“triangles”) printed on
both tracks located above and below
zipper.
b. If a pair does not match, slide back the
zipper by pulling the top and bottom part
in an opposite direction until the marks
meet.
8.2.4. Removing the zipper pull:
c. When you have zipped the entirelength of
the zipper track, take the zipper pull off
the track by rotating the plastic handle
180° away from the zipper pull loop.
d. Close the last few centimeters of the
zipper track by manually pressing to latch
the zipper’s tongue and groove.
8.2.5. Ensuring a complete hermetic closure:
e. Make sure to close the zipper correctlyto
maintain its gas-tightness.
8.3. INSTALLATION OF RODENT GUARD (RG)
8.3.1. For protection against rodent attacks (one set
contains 4 pieces):
a) One set can be installed on any platformlegs
with leg perimeter (round or square) of 22
cm (9'') to 44 cm (17'').
b) If the diameter of the leg is smaller, the
rodent guard can be cut to fit the legs.

13/18
GrainPro® GrainSafe™ Bag-1.0 Instruction Manual
MA4010RLR1009-6
8.3.2. Fold the rodent guard's teeth upwards against
the sides of the leg to keep it fromslipping.
8.3.3. Make sure to overlap the sides at least one
inch.
8.3.4. Lock the overlap using staple wire, cable
wire, or any fastener.
8.4. OUTDOOR INSTALLATION
8.4.1. The GS Bag-1.0TM must be protected from the
direct sunlight by installing the shade/cover
such as a roof cone from any available
insulating material (straw,reflective material,
matting) that are commonly used to protect
the traditional local storage facilities.
8.5. MONITORING THE OXYGEN LEVEL
8.5.1. Use of an oxygen analyzer:
a. During the first 15 days of installation,
oxygen level must be checked daily using
the oxygen analyzer.

14/18
GrainPro® GrainSafe™ Bag-1.0 Instruction Manual
MA4010RLR1009-6
b. Succeeding monitoring should be done
twice a week. Normally, oxygen levels
should drop 1-2% per day to a level less
than 3% (though lower levels have been
observed as well). Oxygen levels go up by
a few percent but must not exceed 7%.
Except for coffee beans and seeds, in this
situation, the sealing is probably
compromised, and the commodity may
not be adequately protected.
c. When the oxygen does not drop for 3 to 7
days or increase in carbon dioxide is not
observed, check for pinholes or damage in
the Cocoon sections.
8.6. DISMANTLING
8.6.1. The commodity will only be unloadedat
the end of the storage.
9. PREVENTING CONDENSATION
9.1. WHY DOES CONDENSATION OCCUR?
9.1.2. Condensation is caused by temperature changes i.e., hot weather by day and cool at night or
sudden rains in a hot sunny day. When air collides with a cool surface at dew point
temperature the vapor in the air condenses on the surface. Air movement insidethe GS Bag-
1.0TM follow the natural forces i.e., in convection currents hot air rise and coolair sinks (except
for the phenomenon called inversion). Hence, when warm air inside the GS Bag-1.0TM rises
and hits the cool GS Bag-1.0TM top cover at dew point temperature, condensation occurs.
9.1.3. Therefore, avoiding trapped warm air inside the GS Bag-1.0TM can prevent condensationat the
top layer. This is the role of the roof cone (shade/cover). It prevents heating of air inside the
GS Bag-1.0TM by repelling solar radiation.
9.2. MOISTURE CONTENT (MC) REQUIREMENT FOR SAFE STORAGE
9.2.1. Commodities should be dried before storage to at least 12% MC for sorghum, 9-10%millet,
12-14% for paddy, and maize, and 13% for wheat.
9.2.2. When the commodity is properly dried, there is virtually no “available water” that the
microorganisms can use for growth and development.
9.2.3. This condition can be maintained by avoiding ambient air (with variable moisture
content) to be in contact with the dried product using the hermetic storage.
technology.

10. MAINTENANCE AND CARE
10.1. REGULAR EXAMINATION
10.1.1.Check the zipper track for any small opening/s and push the opened track section by hand.
10.1.2.Check GS Bag-1.0TM for punctures or cuts (do not forget to check near the bottom,
particularly for rodent damage). If there are any, repair them with the patch kit as described
below.
10.1.3.Avoid low overhanging structure or tree branches that would allow rodents to jump ontop
of the GS BAG-1.0TM.
10.1.4.During the rainy season, the upper surface of the GS BAG-1.0TM. should be regularly
inspected for water accumulation and damages that would permit water to seep into the GS
BAG-1.0TM. The content is not adequately protected if the GS BAG-1.0TM is not completely
sealed.
10.1.5.Carbon dioxide level does not increase:
a. Check for a possible opening of zippers, and holes/punctures/cuts.
b. Seal/repair it immediately.
c. Monitor the carbon dioxide level using the analyzer through the gas sampling port.
10.2. REPAIRING PUNCTURES AND OTHER DAMAGES
10.2.1.Use the patching material and adhesive
found in the repair kit:
a. Clean the area to be patched with adamp
cloth or organic solvent.
b. Apply a glue (150-200g) on both surface
with a brush or equivalent.
c. Let it dry for 5-10 minutes and stick and
apply sufficient pressure.
10.2.2. Protective maintenance
a. Check the patched PVC occasionally and replace or re-patch if necessary.
10.3. RECOMMENDED WEEKLY MONITORING
10.3.1.Check whether the hermetic zipper has not opened anywhere along the length. If openings
are observed, press the tracks together by hand.
10.3.2.Inspect the liner and make sure that there are no punctures or tears (or rodent damages). If
there are any, repair them immediately.
10.3.3.Check the top of the GS BAG-1.0TM to make sure that there is no standing water (especially
during the rainy season). If there is any, it must be removed by hand or tools that do not risk
puncturing the liner.
10.3.4.Make sure that there is no low overhanging structure or tree branch, which would allow
rodents to jump on top of the GS BAG-1.0TM.

11. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
11.1. DO I NEED TO PUMP THE AIR OUT OF THE GS BAG-1.0TM OR MODIFY THE AIR INSIDE THE GS
BAG-1.0TM, FOR EXAMPLE WITH CARBON DIOXIDE?
▪No, you do not need to pump out or change the atmosphere in any way. The insects own
natural metabolic functions use up all the available oxygen and replace it with carbon
dioxide. Atmospheres modified with carbon dioxide or vacuum can enhance the quality of
stored product, and reduce the insect kill time, but are not required to eliminate insect
infestations.
11.2. IF THE STORED COMMODITY IS ALREADY INSECT INFESTED, DO I NEED TO FUMIGATE ITOR
OTHERWISE KILL THE INFESTATION BEFORE STORING IT?
▪No, you do not need to fumigate or kill the infesting pests before storing the food. The
insects will die naturally in a matter of days. The greater the infestation the fasterthe kill.
11.3. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU DO NOT RECOMMEND THE GS BAG-1.0TM FOR?
▪Yes, the GS Bag-1.0TM is not recommended for storing fresh fruits, vegetables, or medicines.

17/18
GrainPro® GrainSafe™ Bag-1.0 Instruction Manual
MA4010RLR1009-6
11.4. CAN YOU ADD OR TAKE OUT ITEMS ONCE THE GS BAG-1.0TM IS FILLED AND CLOSED?
▪Yes, you may add or take out items. If the added items are infested, the insects willnaturally
modify the internal atmosphere again and die off.
11.5. DO I NEED TO FILL THE GS BAG-1.0TM ENTIRELY FOR IT TO WORK?
▪GS Bag-1.0TM is designed to work effectively at any given load. Load your GS Bag-1.0TM to its
optimum dimensions to ensure full protection from insect infestations.
11.6. SHOULD THE GS BAG-1.0TM BE ONLY ERECTED INDOORS?
▪No. GS BAG-1.0TM is designed for outdoor use also under all types of climatic conditions.
11.7. WILL A PUNCTURE NEGATE THE BENEFITS OF HERMETICITY OF THE GS BAG-1.0TM?
▪No, although a hole/tear will allow oxygen to seep into the GS Bag-1.0TM and will cultivate
live insects around the puncture/hole. Tight stacking of the stored commodity tends to
prevent spreading of infestation inside the GS Bag-1.0TM. We recommend immediate repair
of all punctures or tears.
11.8. HOW DRY MUST THE GRAIN BE TO STORE IT SAFELY IN THE GS BAG-1.0TM?
▪The GS BAG-1.0TM works best with grains at or below critical moisture content.
11.9. CAN T HE RODENTS CHEW RIGHT THROUGH THE PVC MATERIAL WHEN THE GS BAG-1.0TM IS
ERECTED?
▪Yes, but only if the sides are not taut enough. Rodents can only gnaw on the smooth,slippery
surface of a GS Bag-1.0TM if the sides are not properly stretched or rodents drops down from
any object hanging over the GS Bag-1.0TM such as a low–hanging branch of a tree. In areas
with high rodent activity, we recommend that a GS Bag-1.0TM be protected using anti-
rodent barriers.
11.10.CAN AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES OTHER THAN GRAIN BE STORED IN A GS BAG-1.0TM?
▪Yes, most dry agricultural commodities such as seeds, pulses, beans, coffee, cocoa, some
dried fruits, and even dried chilies can be safely stored. When in doubt, ask GrainPro.
