The 4 Most Common Types of Silos-SRON Silo Engineering

 A silo is a sturdy structure for storing bulk materials, usually used to store bulk materials such as grain, cement, fly ash, mineral powder, etc. Today I will introduce you to the 4 most common types of silos.

1. Spiral Sealing Steel Silo

Spiral silo refers to the silo which is made by spiraling the steel plate with a certain width into the rolling equipment during construction. The thickness of the silo plate of the spiral steel silo is usually within 4 mm. Due to the limitation of the thickness of the silo plate, the storage capacity of a single silo is generally not more than 8,000t.

 Spiral Sealing Steel Silo

●Features of spiral steel silo:

►High strength: the inner wall of the silo has vertical reinforcing ribs and transverse spiral undercut ribs, which greatly enhances the strength of the silo and has strong wind, earthquake and snow load resistance;

►Good sealing performance: the cylinder of the silo is connected by spiral undercut, with excellent sealing performance;

►Short construction period: silo could be put into use as soon as possible to create benefits for users;

►Long service life: the cylinder of the silo is made of hot-dip galvanized coil, and the top of the silo is treated by galvanizing process, with strong corrosion resistance and long service life;

►Space saving: the distance between the two silos can be as low as 500mm, which can make full use of the space and reduce the floor area;

►Light weight: the silo has low weight, which greatly reduces the load and cost of the foundation structure.

2. Bolted Steel Silo

Bolted steel silo is a new type silo that can be used after modular processing and molding and then transported to the construction site, assembled and linked with bolts. The maximum diameter of the assembly steel silo can reach 45m and the storage capacity can reach 50,000 cubic meters.

Bolted Steel Silo

●Features of bolted steel silo:

►Adopting modular manufacturing and site assembly, high stability;

The sealing strip can withstand the 200 ℃ high temperature. The sealing structure is reliable with good effect;

►Bolt connection, with easy disassembly and assembly, solves the problems of cement silo export packing, difficulty on-site installation and transport, etc.;

►The construction is simple and convenient, saves labor, and greatly reduces the installation cost;

►The construction period is short, which helps the owner to put into use and recoup funds quickly.

3. Welded Steel Silo

Large welded steel silo, which is mainly made of welded steel plate, is a self-developed independent silo type in the continuous development of China's steel silo industry. The effective diameter of the welding steel silo can reach tens of meters, the silo body is cylindrical, the top of the silo is spherical, and the wall of the silo is in the form of steel frame. The storage capacity can reach more than 10000t!

Welded Steel Silo

●Features of welded steel silo:

►Large storage capacity: the diameter of the silo is 80m, and the capacity of a single silo is 5,000-120,000 tons, which can be increased if there are special needs;

►Low initial investment: due to the adoption of a number of patented technologies, it can save about 50% of building materials and more than 60% of land to be acquired;

►It has good air tightness and adopts patent technology of vacuum sealing. The physical indexes of cement quality are basically unchanged within 9 months of storage inside the silo;

►Energy saving and environmental protection: patented dust removal technology is used in the process of warehousing and outbound, which will not cause pollution to the surrounding environment;

►High strength&long service life: with the standard maintenance, service life is up to 30-50 years.

4. Concrete Silo

Common construction materials for concrete silos include steel, cement, gravel, etc. The height of the silo can be over 40 meters. The concrete silo use commonly more than 50 years, and maintenance costs very little.

Concrete Silo

●Features of concrete silo:

►Durable, long service life, generally more than 50 years;

►Small area and high land utilization rate;

►The thick silo wall, the heat insulation and heat preservation performance are good, and the material is less affected by the external temperature difference, so it is suitable for long-term storage;

►It can realize self discharge, most of the bulk materials can flow into the vehicle by their own gravity, reduce equipment loss and save power cost;

►It is convenient for mechanized loading and unloading, saving manpower and management cost;

►Less maintenance and low maintenance cost.

The above 4 types of silos are the most widely used silos at present. For more products and details please visit our website SRON SILO ENGINEER.

Large-diameter Concrete Silo for Coal Storage

图片
During the coal washing process, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, various types of coal storage silos need to be built, including raw coal silos, clean coal silos, etc. In recent years, the environmental protection pressure on coal preparation plants has increased day by day. In the new development environment, large-diameter coal storage silos can not only significantly increase the capacity of   coal storage silos , but also have the advantages of good structural integrity, long application time, and low maintenance. This plays an important role in promoting the development of coal preparation plants. Concrete Silo Introduction Coal silos are silos used to store coal in industrial buildings such as cement, steel, and electricity. The  concrete silo  is a deep silo with a diameter of up to 25m and a simple silo capacity of 20,000 m3. It adopts a structural form supported by reinforced concrete walls and internal columns. The bottom of this silo is flat, because the s

Steel Silo - Best Way for Paddy Rice Storage

图片
Introduction of Paddy Rice Paddy rice is the most important and oldest food in Oryza genus. It can be ground into white rice for human consumption, and can also be used to make wine, or made into rice flour, rice bran, radish cake and other foods. Paddy rice is the staple food of more than half of the world's population. Therefore, many food processing factories, grain reserves and breweries need to store a large amount of paddy rice for use. However, the storage of paddy rice needs to meet conditions such as dryness, low temperature, and airtightness, otherwise the paddy is easy to mold and deteriorate. How to store paddy rice safely has become a concern of many manufacturers. Precautions for Paddy Rice Storage In order to ensure the quality of paddy rice, the moisture of paddy rice should be controlled before storage, and the impurities in paddy should be removed. Ventilate and cool down in time after storing paddy rice into the silo to prevent condensation and insect damage. Moi
