The recirculation and ventilation system designed and developed by farm shed company Action – The Big Shed People, is an industry-first for grain sheds.
The patent-pending FumoFlow grain shed is a purpose-built concrete panel grain shed that uses a tarp on a pulley system to seal the shed, and a recirculation duct and fan system to recirculate fumigant and vent post fumigation.
“Traditional grain sheds are labour intensive and difficult to manage properly for fumigation, especially as regulations keep tightening.”
FumoFlow grain sheds were developed by Action in response to growers looking for an effective grain shed fumigation system.
The system needed to be faster, easier and more versatile than existing options – and help growers comply with changing phosphine exposure limits.
Action collaborated with industry leaders in fumigation and tarping, such as Grain Protect, to develop a solution.

FumoFlow grain sheds shorten the time it takes to treat and vent stored grain, and make the process safer, easier and more effective.
All while providing the usual advantages of an Action grain shed such as storing larger volumes at a lower cost per tonne, increasing efficiency at harvest, and providing versatility and more selling flexibility

Yes, FumoFlow grain sheds are a patent-pending product, developed, manufactured and installed by Action.
FumoFlow is designed for growers looking to expand their on-farm grain storage, effectively treat grain in less time and with less hassle while remaining compliant, and considering new market opportunities.
The FumoFlow system is designed for growers that treat grain with phosphine tablets or blankets, and for growers that engage fumigation contractors to use cylinderised gas.
Some of the fumigation challenges a FumoFlow grain shed helps to solve include:
As well as providing solutions, FumoFlow grain sheds can also provide opportunites such as opening up new markets. Win-win!
FumoFlow grain sheds don’t just benefit the grower, fumigation contractors also benefit from a faster, easier, safer and more effective fumigation process – particularly as regulations around exposure limits become stricter, and the risk of phosphine resistance increases. Plus, time is money.
