Silo Storage: The Safe and Secure Way to Store Bulk Materials
Now a days various industries requires Silos for storing any material or substance. Knitcon manufactures or provides silos storage based on client requirements and usability. We have several types of silos for various uses. Let's see some information about Silos.
Storage Silos are structures designed to store material. Basically, silos are used to store materials like grain, hay, plastic resins, cement, activated carbon, calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide, and other materials in bulk or powder.
Most commonly used storage silos are cylindrical shaped. Other than cylindrical silos, there are also square silos and rectangle silos available. All are made of metal, i.e., metal silos. They are very similar to the building tower. Silos are typically tall, with a narrow opening at the top and a wider base. The material with which silos are built can be metal, stainless steel, reinforced concrete, wood, reinforced plastic, fiberglass, etc. Storage silos are used in a variety of industries, including agriculture, mining, and manufacturing, to store and protect materials from the elements and keep them dry and fresh until they are needed. Silos can also be used to store materials that are hazardous or toxic, in which case they are designed with additional safety features to prevent accidents or leaks.
Types Of Storage Silos:
Depending on the raw material to be stored, silos and are classified into 3 types:
Tower silos
Bunker silos
Bag silos.
Tower Silos
Tower silos are the most commonly used structures. It can be constructed or made of steel, wood, cement, and other materials. A tower silo is a large, vertical structure used to store fermented feed crops such as corn, hay, or straw (silage). It can range in size from 4 to 48 meters in diameter and 3 to 40 meters in height, approximately. It is commonly used in the farming industry to store feed or livestock. It is designed to be airtight to keep the silage fresh. The feed is typically placed into the silo using a conveyor or by hand and can be removed by a feeding machine or by hand as per requirement. Tower silos can be a systematic way to store feed, as they take up less area than traditional ground silos and can be easier to access.
Bunker Silos
Bunker silos are trenches, i.e., a bunker silo is a type of large, rectangular, above-ground storage structure that is used to hold and store silage. It is typically made of concrete or another long-lasting material. It is typically used on farms and other agricultural settings. They are designed to be airtight and watertight to protect the silage from the elements and keep it fresh for as long as possible. The filled trench is covered with a plastic tarp to make it airtight. These silos are mainly unloaded with a truck, loader, or tractor. They are recommended when large quantities of material must be stored and are used in agriculture and other types of industries. In fact, nowadays, the military has also adopted the use of this type of silo for the deposit and handling of missiles.
Bag Silos
A bag silo is a type of storage container made of plastic and hermetically sealed bags or tubes that are strong and durable. They usually measure from 2 to 21 meters in diameter. The length varies according to the material that is going to be stored. These storage silos are used to hold and discharge dry, granular materials such as grains, legumes, animal feed, and powdered metals. Bag silos are typically used in industrial agriculture and commercial settings where dry goods need to be stored and transported easily.
Bag silos are used to dispense and hold flowable, dry materials, i.e., fly ash, cement, lime, and plastics. If we take an industry example, bag storage silos are commonly used in construction and manufacturing applications because they provide a cost-effective and convenient way to store and distribute dry materials. They can be easily moved or transported to different working sites and are relatively easy to install.
