Purpose: Silos (grain storage facilities) are designed for storing dry bulk materials, primarily for storing grain: corn, rapeseed, wheat and sunflower.

Advantages of the product:The silo walls are made of galvanised metal, which is characterised by the following properties: ● Very high rigidity of the side walls, which ensures that they do not deform during use.● The use of galvanised metal ensures less absorption of sunlight through the side walls, which significantly reduces the heating of the side walls and, in the complex, provides better grain storage conditions.● The wave depth of the side walls is designed so that grain does not remain on the silo walls, while maintaining maximum wall rigidity.

Vertical support posts are responsible for the loads that occur mainly during loading and unloading of the silo.The vertical support posts are mounted outside the side walls, which ensures that there are no internal elements on which grain remains during unloading. The thickness of the vertical support wall is calculated in accordance with the requirements of the European standards PN-EN.Special M8 silo bolts with round flat washers are used to connect the side walls and vertical support posts. The M8 silo bolts have a threadless body diameter of M10, which gives them a higher load-bearing capacity. The larger diameter of the bolt provides a higher load-bearing capacity, and the smaller size of the bolt eliminates the possibility of alignment of the corrugated beams during their connection.The silo roof is designed with a 30-degree slope, which corresponds to the natural rolling angle of the grain and ensures maximum utilisation of the silo.

1. Side walls made of corrugated sheet metal
2. Vertical silo support posts
