Highly application-adapted silos for raw materials

- Economical and practical

Low investment costs, whether it is a steel plate silo or reinforced concrete silo, under the premise of meeting the storage needs, compared with some large-scale integrated storage or complex storage facilities, the construction process of materials, construction technology and other aspects of cost control is more effective, can help enterprises to reduce the capital investment in the early stages of the project. Covering a small area, its cylinder structure is relatively compact, more efficient in the utilization of space, especially suitable for site area is limited but there is a certain demand for raw material storage occasions, can effectively save valuable land resources, improve the land utilization rate.

- Good sealing

Good sealing is one of the significant features of the raw material silo. For some raw materials with high requirements on storage environment, such as moisture, oxidation or special odor materials, good sealing can effectively isolate the external air, moisture and other factors, to maintain the stability of the environment inside the silo, thus ensuring the stability of the quality of raw materials, reducing the deterioration of raw materials due to the storage environment, loss of raw materials to extend the shelf life of raw materials, reduce the loss of raw material costs of the enterprise.

 

- Storage capacity range

Steel plate silo single storage capacity of 1 - 50,000 tons, reinforced concrete silo single storage capacity of 1 - 80,000 tons, the enterprise can be flexible according to their own raw material production, turnover frequency and future development planning and other factors to choose the right type of silo and storage capacity scale. For example, small enterprises or raw material production is relatively low, the turnover of enterprises may choose a single silo storage capacity of 1 - 20,000 tons of silo can meet the daily production needs; for some medium-sized enterprises or raw material supply has a certain seasonal fluctuations in the enterprise, may be based on the actual situation to choose the 3 - 50,000 tons of steel silo or reinforced concrete silo of 5 - 80,000 tons.

- Dimensions

Silos are available in diameters from 20 - 60m, with the different diameters being related to the storage capacity and also affecting other dimensional parameters such as silo height. Generally speaking, larger diameter silos have a higher storage capacity for the same height, but they also require a higher load-bearing capacity of the foundation during construction. In the process of design and construction, it is necessary to take into account the geological conditions of the site, the accumulation density of the material and other factors to determine the appropriate ratio of diameter and height, in order to ensure the structural stability and storage efficiency of the silo.

 

- Grain industry: It is used for storing various kinds of raw grains such as wheat, corn, rice and so on. In the grain acquisition season, a large number of raw grains can be stored in the silo, due to its good sealing, can effectively prevent the grain from moisture mold, insect breeding and other problems, to ensure that the quality of food safety, and in the subsequent grain processing or sales process, according to the market demand for rapid discharging operations, improve the efficiency of grain circulation.

- Chemical industry: some chemical raw materials such as powder catalysts, additives, etc., the storage environment of the humidity, impurity content and other high requirements, raw material silo sealing and stability to meet these requirements, to prevent chemical raw materials and the external environment of chemical reactions or contamination, to ensure that the quality of the raw materials of the chemical production process is stable, so as to ensure that the chemical product quality and consistency and production safety. consistency and production safety of chemical products.

 

- Infrastructure

According to the weight and capacity of the silo and the local geological conditions, design and build a solid foundation. For large silos or sites with poor geological conditions, it is necessary to carry out detailed geological exploration and adopt suitable foundation forms, such as pile foundation, raft slab foundation, etc., to ensure that the silos will not be tilted or cracked due to foundation settlement in the course of use, which will affect the structural safety and service life of the silos.

- Maintenance of feeding and discharging system

Regularly check the equipment of the inlet and outlet system, such as conveying pipes, valves, feeders and so on. Prevent materials from clogging in the pipeline, for easy to wear parts such as valve seals, the inner wall of the conveying pipeline, etc. should be regularly checked for wear and timely replacement, to ensure smooth and normal operation of the inlet and outlet system, to ensure the smooth entry and exit of raw materials to improve the efficiency of the silo.

- Silo inspection and maintenance

Regular inspection of the silo body, check whether the steel plate silo steel plate corrosion, deformation, reinforced concrete silo whether there are cracks, spalling and other phenomena. For the corrosion of steel plate silo, we should remove the rust and paint anticorrosive coating in time, and for the cracks of reinforced concrete silo, we should repair and reinforce them according to their seriousness, so as to prevent the problem from further deteriorating and jeopardizing the structural safety and storage function of the silo.
