 Generally we often silo capacity size to the classification of its models, customers do the design plans, can be used from outside the venue, combined with the size of the production line required reserves to initially determine the diameter of the silo height and capacity. In this capacity, the steel silo calculation rules to everybody simple instructions.

Ben experts: Whether industrial silo (cement silo, fly ash silo, etc.), or the food industry silo (grain silo, feed steel silo, grease steel silo, etc.), no matter what kind of store, its base body volume is divided into theoretical capacity and effective capacity. So what does the theoretical capacity, experts said the theoretical capacity is the total capacity is calculated based on the size of various parts of the silo; effective capacity refers to the volume of material can truly saved. Therefore, the effective capacity of the latter is what we really care about. However, it should be noted that the thing is, the effective capacity of the storage silo materials differ.

By professional formula, the silo is divided into flat type and style silo cone bottom, according to steel silo materials still top angle and angular relationship, divided into the following categories:

The angle of repose ≤ flat steel plate cylinder wall steel silo database steel silo stack height food from the top angle of the eaves at the steel silo for 200mm. The angle of repose> flat steel tube type steel silo materials at the highest stack of steel silo roof angle away from the steel silo at the top center of 700mm.

Steel silo planning how to calculate a reasonable number of years

In general, from the viewpoint of skills as opposed capital, the use of such steel silo to be significantly greater than the number of years of planning the use of silo years. Especially WDCPO silo room that needs a combination of patent base plates and steel silo feeding, each silo safety have higher hopes. So not the same as planning intentions and have a different solution, most experts regard the planning of enterprise management silo life plan from 20-50 years.

Transformation from a third-generation silo applications, steel silo useful life has been greatly improved, the third-generation technology for the material is not the same as the two materials, the steel silo also enables double tube bending construction. Good overall performance, and long life. Spiral undercut five times the thickness of the base material, greatly strengthened the anti-carrier capability steel silo body, its stability and strength of life is better than other large steel silo.
