Hopper Bottom Silo ranges from 3m diameter 15 tonnes storage to 10m diameter 1,700 tonnes, all hoppers are designed for high cyclic loading, i.e. high usage of product in and out and at high tonnage rates. The 45 and 60 degree hoppers are standard (other hopper angles upon request). Silo roof panels, wall sheets and stiffening struts  are sheared and formed from pre-galvanized steel sheets. Hopper silos can provide temporary wet grain storage as part of a grain drying plant and other “buffer bin” applications in silo plants. Storage of other free flowing granulated products plants. Medium term grain storage where fast discharge of large batches of grain are required (sea and river ports, breweries, malting, mills).

Automatic digital temperature monitoring system consists of temperature cables suspended from the silo roof, junction boxes and computer software. All silo parts are made from certified pre or hot-dip galvanised steel. High specification G600 galvanising provides outstanding corrosion resistance.

Salient Features of Hopper Bottom Silo:
 

• • 1. Designed for high cyclic loading like high usage of product in and out and at high tonnage rates.
    2. Silo roof panels, wall sheets and stiffening struts are sheared and formed from pre-galvanized steel sheet.
    3. Strong true conical roof for maximum load bearing capacity.
    4. Silo stiffeners with strong fish plated joints for long term stability.
    5. Silo sidewall sheets utilize a shallow corrugation to minimize hang up of material on walls and provide a cleaner safer silo.
