2024-04-03

Bolted steel silo is a new technology introduced and developed in the past twenty years, with its own light weight, short construction period, easy to mechanise the production and other advantages, in the grain, food, feed, light industry and other industries are widely used.

 

The Bolted steel silo consists of 3 parts: silo roof, silo body and silo bottom. According to the different forms of silo bottom, it can be divided into flat-bottomed silo and hopper-bottomed silo, which is the foundation of the steel silo; conical(hopper)-bottomed silo can be divided into steel conical-bottomed silo and cement conical-bottomed silo, according to the form of conical-bottomed silo production.

 

Silo roof: The roof plate is made of 0.8mm-1.0mm double-sided galvanised sheet with convex rib forming, which has the advantages of corrosion resistance, waterproof, high strength and so on. At the same time, the top of the silo is equipped with ventilation windows, guardrails and other facilities.

Silo Body: The silo body is composed of double-sided galvanised sheets corrugated and then arc-formed, with assembly holes and linked by watertight bolts. The corrugation can increase the strength of the silo, and at the same time, the silo is equipped with reinforcing columns inside or outside the silo to withstand the vertical loads of the silo and the grain.

Sealing mud is provided at the joints between the silo boards to ensure the waterproof performance of the silo. 

The silo body is equipped with a door and a ladder for easy observation of the grain inside the silo.

 

Cone bottom: the cone bottom consists of column foot, tension bar, cone bottom plate, etc. The cone bottom plate can be Bolted or welded.
