About Storage Silo

Storage Silo is typically quite heavy, compressed using a special machine, and sealed on both ends. Additionally, this silo is the most affordable. Grain and other materials can be kept in this silo in bulk or powder form. Other substances including cement, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, activated carbon, and plastic resins are also stored in them. Storage Silo can be constructed from a variety of materials, including metal, stainless steel, reinforced concrete, wood, reinforced plastic, fiberglass, etc. This is designed and manufactured in different shapes and sizes, as per the needs and requirements of the customers. It is quite economical to use.

Customizable Design and Robust Construction

Our storage silos are designed for bulk handling of materials such as grains, cement, fly ash, and more. Each silo is manufactured in compliance with IS/ISO or bespoke industry standards, ensuring exceptional durability and safety. With capacities ranging from 10 to 2000 tons, and discharge outlet sizes tailored to your process needs, these silos suit a variety of industrial applications. Options for bolted or welded installation and foundation types in RCC or steel provide flexibility for diverse site requirements.

Versatile Features for Efficient Storage and Handling

The silo incorporates advanced features such as insulation for sensitive materials, multiple discharge valve types (slide gate, butterfly, or rotary), and filling options including top loading or pneumatic systems. Every unit is equipped with a ladder, safety cage, and manhole to facilitate effortless cleaning and maintenance, while level indicators (mechanical or electronic) simplify monitoring. The anti-corrosive surface treatments prolong service life even in challenging environments.

Automation, Safety, and Reliable Performance

Automation capabilities are available, including computerized control, semi-automatic or fully automatic grades, and PLC integration upon request. Electric motors for discharge can be specified as needed. Engineered for weather resistance and seismic safety, every silo ensures security and operational reliability, supported by industry-compliant manufacturing standards and robust structural integrity.

FAQ's of Storage Silo:

Q: How is the discharge outlet size of the storage silo customized for different materials?

A: The discharge outlet size can range from 200 mm to 600 mm and is tailored according to the type of bulk material, desired flow rate, and application requirements. Customization ensures optimal discharge and prevents blockages during operation.

Q: What surface treatments are available for the silo, and how do they benefit operation?

A: Surface treatments include painting, galvanizing, and powder coating. Each enhances corrosion resistance and weatherproofing, extending the silo's lifespan and making it suitable for diverse industrial environments.

Q: When should insulation be included in the storage silo design?

A: Insulation is recommended when storing temperature-sensitive materials like grains or chemicals to maintain product integrity. It helps regulate interior temperatures, preventing spoilage or material degradation, especially in extreme climates.

Q: Where is seismic design applied in these silos, and why is it important?

A: Seismic design features are incorporated for installations in high-risk seismic zones. It reinforces silo stability, reducing the risk of structural failure during tremors, thus safeguarding stored materials and site safety.

Q: What is the process for installing and commissioning a storage silo at the site?

A: The silo can be erected using bolted or welded assembly, atop either RCC or steel foundations as per site conditions. After installation, level indicator calibration, discharge valve testing, and safety system checks are performed prior to commissioning.

Q: How is the silo's operation automated, and what are the benefits of automation?

A: Automation options include computerized systems, PLC controls, and electric discharge drives. Automation enhances process efficiency, simplifies material handling, and provides consistent monitoring, reducing manual intervention and risk of errors.

Q: What are the typical applications and advantages of using this storage silo?

A: This silo is ideal for bulk material storage in industries like agriculture, cement, and fly ash handling. Key advantages include customizable capacity and configuration, robust construction, reliable automated operation, and adaptable discharge solutions for efficient material management.
