Silo Type Generally Used in Mill
Less than 1000t(include) per silo: Adopt hopper bottom silo, which can natural flow, power savely, but capacity limited for the steel leg can support limited weight.
More than 1000tons per silo: Adopt flat bottom silo, which can storing more grain, up to 10000t, but we should add a sweep auger in the silo bottom, to run the grain out.
The most cost savelyt silo: Flat bottom silo without Sweep auger, unloading by manual. this situation is suitable for different tons. but we need spent on manual cleaning in silo.
