Do you want to storage the grain after harvest?
Do you need someone who can tell you how to use the grain silo?
The history of steel silo
People use steel silo for storage grain began from 1930, in the first stage, the steel silo is riveting type, with 6-10 mm steel plate riveted, it is very stong.
In the second stage, the steel silo is welded type. People use 4-10mm thickness's steel plate to make the silo. Welding silo has a good air tightness, strength, and can be high altitude. But it also has some disadvantages, such as surface anti-corrision ability is poor, expensive steel consumption, higher maintenance cost.
In the third stage, the steel silo is thin-wall type. In normally, there are two models: prefabricated corrugated steel silo and screw steel silo. In the middle of 19th century, in order to meet the needs of bulk grain transportation, the thin-wall steel silo is widely used. This silo has many features, such as light weight, easy installation, cheap price, high mechanization and automation, high efficiency, etc. Especially since 1970s, after production by standard materials, it has large-scale development. Especially Suiry Silo, we use galvanized inside vertical reinforce, it increases the anti-corrosion, rust resistance, longer life-span of the steel slio, its economical and pratical recognition in the industry.
The steel silo can be widely used in flour, feed, fats, alcohol, rice, corn, biomass power generation, ports, repository, and design institute.
