The bolt installation method for prefabricated corrugated steel silos involves several steps and precautions. Before installation, it is necessary to review the assembly silo center point and the ground line of the silo wall, and determine the position of the lifting frame. Ensure that it is anchored to the supporting surface to guarantee the stability and accuracy of the installation. During the connection of corrugated sheets, bolts should be inserted into the holes from the inside to the outside, then washers should be placed on the opposite side (outside) and nuts tightened. A socket wrench should be used for pre-tightening.
During the assembly of corrugated sheets, a top-down installation method is usually adopted. This means that the top cover and upper wall panels are installed first, followed by the middle and lower wall panels, and finally the entire silo body is fixed to the foundation. In addition, the joints between adjacent rings of the corrugated sheet and the joints of the reinforcing ribs should be staggered and sealed, and all bolt connections should be lined with gaskets.
The pre-tightening torque of high-strength bolts should comply with the regulations to ensure the stability and safety of the structure. During the installation process, it is also necessary to ensure that the specifications and models of the bolts meet the requirements, and to clean the dirt and oil on the bolt surface to avoid affecting the equipment performance and service life.
The bolt installation method for prefabricated corrugated steel silos must strictly follow the specifications to ensure that each link meets the requirements and guarantee the overall quality and safety of the bolted silo.
