& Hopper Silos
“Our flat bottom silos, with corrugated walls are designed to store different types of cereals and/or granulated materials in bulk.”
“Hopper silos are generally used when complete emptying of the silo is necessary and frequent.”
Flat Bottom Silos
“Our flat bottom silos, with corrugated walls are designed to store different types of cereals and/or granulated materials in bulk.”
Our flat bottom silos with corrugated walls are designed to store different types of cereals and/or granulated materials in bulk. With diameters from 3 m to 32 m and capacities from 30 m3 to 26,000 m3, our CERES series silos are designed to ensure safe storage for a wide variety of free-flowing products, even in very long storage periods. The corrugated steel sheets of the silo body are manufactured from pre-galvanized steel coils, which are supplied by approved steel suppliers according to our quality system. The main characteristics of the steel used for its manufacture are S450 + Z600 according to EN-10346.
The corrugated steel is made up of waves 106 mm long and 13 mm deep, providing a useful sheet height of 1166 mm and a useful length of 3140 mm. The thickness of the wall sheets goes from 0.8 mm to 3.5 mm. If because of calculation requirements, a greater thickness is required, combinations of different thicknesses will be used until the necessary strength is achieved.
The external galvanized stiffeners in the silo wall transmit the vertical load of the grain and silo self-weight to the foundation.
Hopper Silos
“Hopper silos are generally used when complete emptying of the silo is necessary and frequent.”
“Design and Production, all our Silos are manufactured in galvanized high strength steel.”
Silos with hoppers are generally used when complete emptying of the silo is necessary and frequent, either to ensure plant traceability or to avoid cross-contamination in the process (temporary storage, drying reception, dispatch of material by truck or train) and are characterized by its easy unloading.
They are available with capacities from 15 m3 up to 3.500 m3, in its version with 45º hopper and in capacities from 15 m3 up to 2500 m3, in the version with 60º hopper.
Characteristics of Silomasters hopper silos:
- Reinforced hoppers made of high resistance steel S450GD, with high strength and elasticity.
- Support structure composed of cold-formed profiles for the Neper series silos and hot-rolled profiles for the Inti series silos.
Silomasters silos are supplied with a 30° roof, giving to them a great resistance with a reduced height, which allows shortening the lengths of conveyors, elevators, and grain handling equipment.
