How do I choose a dry bulk storage silo?

Consider the volume of material your application handles and make sure the silo can be built to the exact dimensions you need. Dry bulk storage silos are typically made of shop-welded steel, field-bolted steel, or concrete. (Field-welded steel silos are also available but are most commonly used for liquid applications.)

How do I choose a silo?

Also consider whether your material’s composition, consistency, or bulk density are such that your silo will require flow-aid devices such as bin activators, vibrators, aeration, or mechanical agitation to promote flow and prevent bridging or ratholing. Discharge Height Consider the silo’s discharge height carefully, as this is a cost driver.

What is a concrete silo used for?

Concrete silos are often used for storing large biomass materials, such as wood chips or fuel for alternative-fuel power plants. How you intend to feed material to the silo and discharge material from the silo will help determine the most cost-effective size.
