Steel silo is divided into bolted steel silo, spiral steel silo, welding steel silo, most of us is confused to their difference, following is the introduction of the difference of three steel silos:
Bolted steel silo is connected by the bolt with many steel sheet, this silo capacity is available 3000ton, 2000ton, or more small capacity bulk grain storage. However, this steel silo has it’s outstanding advantages: good ventilation , simple structure, short installation time, low cost. If you store grain, it is your better choice.
Spiral steel silo is folded and connected with steel sheet, which structure decide the thickness of steel sheet, not too thick. This spiral silo has good air-tightness and is suitable to store bulk cement, fly ash, soda powder. etc powder material and grain.
Welding silo is welded directly by steel sheet, has the following advantages: good air-tightness, long lifespan, large capacity, etc.
The ideal silo type depends on several factors, including:
Material to be stored: Consider the specific properties of the material, such as airflow requirements or sensitivity to moisture.
Capacity needs: Match the silo capacity to your storage volume.
Budget: Bolted silos offer the most cost-effective option, while welded silos may require a higher initial investment.
Site constraints: Consider factors like ease of assembly and access for the chosen silo type.
By understanding the strengths and limitations of each steel silo type, you can make an informed decision that best suits your specific storage requirements.
