Corn Maize Steel Grain Storage Silo

Corn maize steel grain storage silo, in another name is corn storage silos or steel grain silo, which is used for farm purpose, rice mill, flour mill, soybean-oil mill, animal feed mill plant, brewery plant and so on, the corn maize steel grain storage silo can be used to store grain (such as corn, maize, bulk wheat, corn, rice, paddy, sorghum, soya etc.), animal feed, cereal seeds, plastic pellet, wooden pellet etc.]

Steel silo assembled by silo body and silo top.

1. Silo body:

The assembly silo is made of high quality hot galvanized steel plates which are rolled into corrugation and made into standard connection holes. These plates are connected by high strength screw bolts. The silo plates' thickness distribution is set according to equal strength theory which makes the silo plates bear average stress. The vertical friction is supported by the stiffeners.

2. Silo top:

The silo top adopts umbrella frame and the frame material is made of C model straight carbon steel. The ceiling is made of galvanized steel tile plates. the silo top served with natural ventilation windows, manhole, ladder, safety guards.

3. Silo bottom:

Cement cone/flat base: when the silo capacity is comparatively big and its diameter is below 12m, its base is generally made into cement cone base. Cement cone base is an inverted cone hopper cast into frame with cement and concrete. It makes unloading stuff automatically. When the silo diameter is more than 12m, because the cone base height is too big, its base generally made into half-cone base or flat cone base. Half cone base can`t completely unload the stuff. Flat base silo needs to unload stuff at multi-parts or equipped with a spiral silo cleaner.
