Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a welded silo and a bolted silo?
A welded silo is mainly built and assembled at the workshop; a bolted silo consists of prefabricated parts and is suited to transport and installation at the project site.
Can a silo with a square section be built?
Yes. Silos can be designed and built in round, square and rectangular sections to suit the plant space and the material type.
How is silo capacity determined?
Capacity is calculated from the usable volume, the bulk density of the material, the type of storage and the space needed for discharge and loading.
