Cone Bottom Composition of Cone Bottom Silo

The cone bottom composition of the cone bottom silo is a core structural unit in grain storage systems. It directly affects grain storage stability and discharge efficiency. This article systematically analyzes the key technologies of the cone - bottom components from material selection to mechanical optimization.

Core Component Analysis of Cone - bottom Silo

Mechanical Synergy of Ring Beam and Columns

In the cone bottom composition of the cone bottom silo, the ring beam is the core structure to bear grain pressure:

Ring beam structure: Made of Q355B high - strength steel, the section height is designed as 200 - 400mm according to the silo capacity. It forms a rigid connection with the columns, effectively distributing the vertical load transferred from the cone hopper.

Innovative baseless ring beam: The cone bottom plate is directly connected to the columns through triangular support plates. This eliminates the traditional channel steel ring beam, reducing material costs by 20% and enhancing seismic performance.

Process Breakthrough and Durability Design of Cone - bottom Plate

Segmented Welding and Corrosion - resistance Technology

In the cone bottom composition of the cone bottom silo, the cone - bottom plate needs to balance strength and corrosion - resistance:

High - strength cone plate segmented welding: 6 - 10mm - thick S350GD galvanized steel plates are laser - cut and then welded in sections. The weld strength reaches over 90% of the base material strength.

The cone - hopper angle is designed at 45° (for grain) or 60° (for powder) based on material flowability to ensure efficient self - discharge.

Functional Integration of Cone - hopper and Tensioning System

Multi - cone Layout and Intelligent Operation

The cone bottom composition of modern cone bottom silos is evolving towards multifunctional integration:

Elevated multi - cone design: 9 cones are symmetrically arranged. The outlet is located at the center of the longitudinal and transverse passages, enabling unmanned discharge with grain - carrying vehicles.

Cone - hopper spacing is 600mm. The inclined walls connect with the silo walls, eliminating dead - angle accumulation.

Intelligent monitoring system: Strain sensors are installed at column nodes to monitor grain - pressure distribution and structural deformation in real - time. The cone - bottom ventilation port integrates temperature and humidity probes, which work with axial - flow fans to automatically adjust the internal environment.
