1. Lower basic cost with lightweight, low request for foundation, low consumption of steel.
2. We can produce the standard components which can be installed on-the-spot.
3. Simple, easy and efficient to install within a short amount of time due to superior component design which are connected by standard bolts.
4. Easy to remove or repair with standard bolts.

Silo structure
1. The Silo Body
Include the wall plate, column, manhole, roof ladders and so on.
(1) The wall plate
Our steel is hot galvanized, which makes it durable and weather resistant. Our advanced bolts with spherical washer and the resisting-worn rubber are used to ensure the tightness and using period.
(2) Column
The column, made by the Z-bar, is used to reinforce the silo body. It is connected by junction panels.
(3) Manhole and Roof Ladders
There are inspection door and ladders inside and outside the silo body. It is convenient and accessible for any maintenance work.
2. Roof
Roof is made up of radiated beam, roof cover board, tension ring, ventilator scoop, roof cap, etc.
The space age construction technology, which is adopted in the design of the silo framework, can ensure the stability of silo under the large span. There is a guardrail around the silo eaves and there is also a manhole on top of the roof.
