Welded Steel Silo

Brief:

Large welded steel silo, primarily constructed from welded steel plates, is a unique silo design developed independently within the European steel silo industry. These silos can have effective diameters reaching tens of meters, with a cylindrical body, spherical top, and a steel frame wall structure.

Introduction:

Welded silo is fully welded at the site by licensed expert welders and by a strict project site management system.

• Large storage capacity: the diameter of the silo is 80m, and the capacity of a single silo is 5,000-120,000 tons, which can be increased if there are special needs;

• Low initial investment: due to the adoption of a number of patented technologies, it can save about 50% of building materials and more than 60% of land to be acquired;

• It has good air tightness and adopts the patent technology of vacuum sealing. The physical indexes of cement quality are basically unchanged within 9 months of storage inside the silo;

• Energy saving and environmental protection: patented dust removal technology is used in the process of warehousing and outbound, which will not cause pollution to the surrounding environment;

• High strength, long service life, standard maintenance, and service life up to 30-50 years.

Structural Safety:

As a high-load thin-walled structure building, the safety of the steel silo has a high priority. SprintDrive engineers fully consider various factors, like dead loads, dynamic loads, grain loads, earthquakes, wind loads, snow loads, temperature effects, etc. in the early design stage of silo system.

For overseas projects, we fully consider the differences of national standards, uses international standards and professional industry software such as STAD PRO and SAAP2000, and uses finite element analysis to produce effective structural calculations.
