Bulk Storage – Steel Silos

 

By combining the standard steel structure and the rolled cylindrical / cone structures, the fabrication of the bulk storage silos became more than easy job.

 

There are different types of silos depending on the design, height and the main silo's materials, below are the major types of steel silos we can produce in turnkey projects or fabrication according to the customer's design:

 

  • Tower silos (Cylindrical Shape) : Storage silos are cylindrical structures, typically 4 to 30 m in diameter and 10 to 84 m in height with the slip form and Jump form,  Silos storing grain, cement and woodchips are typically unloaded with air slides or augers. Silos can be unloaded into rail cars, trucks or conveyors.
  • Bin Silos (Square shape): A bin is typically much shorter than a silo, and is typically used for holding dry matter such as concrete or grain. Bins may be round or square, but round bins tend to empty more easily due to a lack of corners for the stored material to become wedged and encrusted. The stored material may be powdered, as seed kernels, or as cob corn. Due to the dry nature of the stored material, it tends to be lighter than silage and can be more easily handled by under-floor grain un-loaders. To facilitate drying after harvesting, some grain bins contain a hollow perforated or screened central shaft to permit easier air infiltration into the stored grain.
  • Bunker silos (Spherical Shape): are trenches, usually with concrete walls, that are filled and packed with tractors and loaders. The filled trench is covered with a plastic tarp to make it airtight. These silos are usually unloaded with a tractor and loader. They are inexpensive and especially well suited to very large operations.
       
 
          
       
 

Other Silo's Products

 

  • Silo Cones:  

Other types of storage silos could be manufactured from Aluminum, Concrete or other types of materials and will need the lower cone discharge structures to be manufactured from structural steel, there are also several types of these cones (upper or lower) and (mechanical or fixed), all types could be fabricated in our factory

 
   
       
 
  • Silo Support Structures:

As aluminum, HDPE or light plate steel silos could be large and not self standing structures, it will need special support structures to be supported.
