INDUSTRY INSIGHTSFlat Bottom Silo
Flat bottom silos are the ideal choice for bulk and long-term dry storage, particularly for capacities exceeding 500 MT. Their design, incorporating advanced technology, ensures they can withstand the rigors of various material storage applications. Our silos are constructed using corrugated, preformed panels assembled cylindrically on circular purlins and vertical stiffeners. These are securely bolted onto heavy concrete rings with deep civil foundations, designed specifically for the silo's size and the site's conditions.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Robust Construction: LGS Projects' flat bottom silos are built to last. We use high-quality, strong materials, including Zincalume steel sheets with a strength of 350MPa. This alloy coating of zinc, aluminum, and silicon, applied at 600 degrees centigrade, provides superior corrosion resistance. Furthermore, a special resin coating and passivation enhance scratch resistance. We can also provide standard GI Silos with G-140 (450gr/m2) or G-115 (350gr/m2) zinc coating upon request.
- Customizable Dimensions: Our flat bottom silos are available in diameters ranging from 2.74m up to 36.5m, allowing us to tailor solutions to your specific storage needs.
- Comprehensive Design Considerations: We perform dynamic analysis of structural stability, taking into account seismic zone, wind loads (especially for empty silos), and snow loads specific to the installation area. This meticulous approach ensures the safety and longevity of your investment.
- Efficient Discharge: A sweep auger, fixed inside the flat concrete bottom, facilitates easy and efficient material discharge through strategically placed outlets with valves.
- Complete System Integration: Our silos include all necessary accessories, a sloped roof with manholes, roof ladder, handrails, and interior and exterior ladders with guards.
- Alternative Materials: While Zincalume steel is our standard offering due to its superior performance, we can discuss alternative materials(Glass Fused Steel) based on your specific requirements.
