Conical base silos
Smooth/corrugated metal
Specifications
Available in various sizes and models with capacities from 5 to 423 t.
Construction
Cylinder: The cylinder is composed of circular sections in structural steel, galvanized using the Sendzimir process 450g/m2, guaranteeing excellent resistance against atmospheric agents.
The external uprights are used to reinforce the cylinder and are held together using high mechanical resistance bolts, with Dacromet treatment.
The circular sections are sealed by plastic gaskets, which maintain their impermeable properties over time.
A manhole is inserted on the second circular section of the cylinder to access the inside of the silo for maintenance operations.
Roof: The roof is composed of trapezoidal corrugated elements in galvanized steel, designed to support the weight of snow and loading/unloading structures.
The roof is developed with a variable inclination depending on the diameter of the models, from 25° to 30°, and is secured to the cylinder using special brackets.
A closing canopy is installed at the centre of the roof, and an inspection hatch in the lower part of the roof.
Cone: Hopper composed of modular conical elements bolted together and joined to the cylinder ring, made of structural steel with a slope of 45°.
Supporting legs in thick profiles complete with bracing, circular discharge ring for attachment of damper.
