How to Extend the Service Life of Steel Silos?

Steel Silos are storage for storing grains, materials, slag powder, fly ash and other granular and powdered products. The storage silo structure is cylindrical, and its main structure is welded by steel plates, steel structure foundations or reinforced concrete foundations (raft foundations). As a new type of material storage equipment, many companies now like to use it to store materials. So after the steel silo is put into use, how to maintain the steel silo and prolong the service life of it?



The first thing we should pay attention to is the construction of the steel silo. If there is no solid and safe construction foundation, no amount of maintenance will be useless. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety, you must find a professional steel silo manufacturer to develop, design and produce steel silo to ensure your own interests! 

1. Always check whether the silo wall of the steel silo is deformed, and pay attention to strengthening the bolt connection of the silo wall. If the bolts are found to be dropped, they should be replaced in time.  

2. After unloading and emptying the steel silo, check the tightness in the silo, and whether the door frame and the adjacent side panels are deformed or cracked. If any abnormal situation is found, take appropriate corrective measures in time. In addition, check whether there is any abnormality in the connection part of the cone and handle it.  

3. If it is found that there are welding deformations, welding cracks, etc., it is necessary to temporarily stop the feeding to prevent unexpected situations.  

4. In addition, check the silo roof once a month, check whether the tension ring, process hole or bolt connection part on the silo roof is missing, loose or damaged.  

5. Also check whether there is corrosion on the surface. If corrosion is found, report it immediately and start a solution.  

6. There is a straight ladder on the outside of the steel silo. Users also need to regularly check the installation bolts of the straight ladder to detect whether they are loose and avoid potential safety hazards.


The steel silo is responsible for ensuring the stability of material storage. Therefore, the maintenance of steel silos is also a very important task. Problems found cannot be ignored, especially the inspection of the welds. If the weld deformation is found, it should be corrected and repaired in time. Corrosive places should also be treated with anti-corrosion in time. Avoid big accidents due to the neglect of small problems.

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

Grain Silo Storage System - Bolted Steel Silo

图片
Bolted Steel Silo are widely used in the storage of grains, such as maize, flour, rice, etc., and can design and produce irregular steel silos according to the special requirements of clients. The small bolted steel silo diameters of 1.8m, 2.7m and 3.6m produced by us are economical and easy-to-assemble silos, which are professionally used in feed factories, wineries, grain processing plants, food processing plants, plastic pellet processing plants, etc. Our steel silos are made of standard 275g/m2 hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, with a service life of 25-30 years. The maximum diameter of the large-scale assembly steel silo can reach 30 meters, and the storage capacity can reach 50,000 cubic meters. Brief introduction of bolted steel silo structure: The silo body of the corrugated bolted metal steel silo is divided into two parts: the cylinder body and the top cover. The cylinder is composed of wall panels, columns, manholes, ladders and other components. (1) Wall panel: Use hot-dip ga
