flour silo

Flour silo, also known as flour steel silo, is a type of assembled steel silo or square silo widely used to store flour and other powder materials such as cement and powdered fuel ash.

The flour silo produced by coban are designed with many years of industry experience, using computer design optimization software, and are refined with professional equipment and advanced technology.

They are your ideal choice for storing and distributing flour and other powder materials.

1. From the perspective of air tightness:

The flour silo produced by Coban use bending equipment during the rolling process, and have very good air tightness, which is equivalent to a vacuum. However, the air tightness of traditional silos is not as good as that of flour cylinders produced by Coban.

2. From the perspective of storage function:

Steel silo have different material configurations for various storages. Therefore, steel silo can store construction materials, fly ash, food, grain and oil, sewage and other materials. There are many types of storage, but the material storage range of traditional silo is relatively small.

3. From the perspective of building materials:

it is self-evident that traditional warehouses are made of reinforced concrete; as the name suggests, the steel plate flour silo is a steel plate silo with a light structure that is conducive to reducing infrastructure investment.

4. From the perspective of construction period:

traditional warehouses require material pouring and solidification time, so the total construction period is relatively long; however, the manufacturing of flour silos is relatively simple.Some types of flour silos can mostly be manufactured in factories and then installed directly on site, so the total construction time for flour silos is relatively short.

1. Cleaning:

Before using a flour silo, it is essential to clean it thoroughly to ensure the quality and hygiene of the flour. To clean the silo, one should use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust and impurities from the bin.

2. Sealing:

To ensure that the flour silo maintains good sealing performance, which is crucial for preventing the flour from becoming damp, moldy, or contaminated, one must regularly check the sealing gasket of the compartment cover during use. If the gasket is found to be damaged, it is imperative to replace it promptly.

3. Storage:

When storing flour, the remaining flour in the warehouse should be cleaned up to ensure that the new flour entering the warehouse will not be mixed with the old flour.At the same time, flour silos should be placed in a dry, well-ventilated place to prevent moisture and mold.

4. Usage:

The capacity of the flour silo should be selected according to actual needs and should not be too large or too small.Too large can lead to waste, while too small can lead to frequent cleaning.

5. Maintenance:

During use, the flour silo should be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation and service life.If any damage or abnormality is found, you should deal with it in time or contact professionals for repair.

5.at last

when using flour silo, attention should be paid to hygiene, sealing, storage, usage and maintenance to ensure the quality and safety of flour.

Scientifically speaking, the Grain Silo capacity should be measured with volume (m3). Even in the same grain Silo, the storage tons will be different for different grains with different densities. The following table is calculated based on a  Silo density of 0.75kg/m3, and surely HKB customizes  Silo systems unique for you.
