Actual Situation Silos Hopper Bottoms Used Grain Storage Silo
The feed content in the feed tower can be observed by the following three methods:
1. Judging the feed content in the silo by the reading of the weighing instrument installed under the hopper of the tower.
2. Fix the rope on one side and lift a heavy object by pulley on the other side. Tie a rope under the heavy object.
Feed content can be judged by pulling the rope and driving the sound of heavy objects impacting the tower.
3. Up the ladder, open the warehouse cover and observe the feed content with eyes
Bottom shape | Hopper Type | Flat Bottom Type |
Capacity | ≤1500t | ≥1500t |
Design view | Heavy structural “wide-flanged” columns Columns designed “X” bracing Pressure bearing is higher than the national standard, and safe enough. | Can be built by hopper concrete or flat cement based on your requirement and actual demand. |
Silo Discharge | Hopper is with Rigorous Full Load Safety Calculation. BODA has 0 Silo Hopper Accidents and 0 Silo Accidents Can be made by concrete or steel | There will be one or more discharge holes on the bottom based on different materials and capacity. |
Sweeper | Normally no need sweeper for hopper bottom silo except for high viscidity materials | Clean up residual easier China Famous Brand or France Brand |
Below photo shows some silo projects we have done recently!
2. Hopper angles can be 45° and 60°,among which 60° conical bottom is usually used to store larger pellet and powder materials with high viscosity.
3. All Famtun silos are precision engineered from high strength, 80mm x 14mm low profile corrugated steel plate, normally galvanised to 275 g/m2.
