First, according to the construction materials division

A reinforced concrete silo: China's reinforced concrete silo is usually 6-8 meters in diameter, the higher barrel, is the best type of modern warehouse. But this warehouse-type high cost, long construction period depicted and construction methods are divided into cast, installation and construction of three sliding mode, now more choice of sliding mode method.

2, brick silo (brick silo, brick silo): Flashlight with bricks, to add strength, every 1.2 m -1.5 m design of reinforced concrete ring beam, usually prefabricated warehouse roof or are pouring cement. Reinforced concrete silo is a way of proxy data, grain storage height usually does not exceed 20 meters in diameter and some larger. Because, as a simple brick primary data obtained, so we have built brick silo silo capacity accounted for a larger share of the total storage capacity legislation, but to follow the development and future of building materials brick production will be limited, which will gradually warehouse type cuts.

3, steel silo: Useful Information for galvanized iron, as light weight, low cost, high degree of standardization, short construction period, a wide range of uses, and can facilitate the completion of mechanized factory production. So steel silo carry out fast, usually greater than the diameter reinforced concrete silo, some about 20 meters in diameter, according to the layout and construction methods into mount, and spiral welded steel silo three curling.

Two, divided by job function

1, the storage warehouse: is burdened farmers and ordered the farm to accept sent, bargain food, not prolonged storage, usually built small brick silo or silo, barn with mobile machinery.

2, storage warehouse: is a long grain storage silo, built of reinforced concrete silo in favor of keeping food year-round, with a fixed and out of food, sorting, measuring, ventilation and other equipment, grain storage prevention function more perfect.

3, transit warehouses: harbor, river terminals and railway grain warehouse throughput, turnaround times and more, require quick quick release, usually built large and medium-sized reinforced concrete or steel silo, barn equipment compatible equipment . Import and export of grain silo capacity of five tons or more generally, have a high degree of mechanization and automation, the use of loading and unloading large equipment to make silo operations adhere to high efficiency. Such as Tianjin Xingang silo, single warehouse capacity 4500 tons, a total of 14 silos with a total capacity of over 60,000 tons.

Port to grain, grain dryer grain unloading it from the ship to shore to enhance the delivery of equipment, after measuring, after clearing miscellaneous equipment into the barn, the full initiative ended.

4, processing

Three, according to the silo height points

Barrel grain storage warehouse by more than the height of the inner diameter of the circular or rectangular storage bin short side, greater than or equal to 1.5 for the deep compartment (Takakura), less than 1.5 when Asakura, commonly known as Humpty Dumpty positions. (Shallow Park warehouse separately narrative)

Four, divided by a single warehouse capacity

By a single warehouse capacity is divided into large, medium and small three Silos, usually single warehouse capacity at 200 tons or less for small, medium-sized 201-1000 tons, 1,000 tons more than for large.

Five, according to the warehouse at the end shape points

Cone Hearth peace into the bottom two. Warehouse-style conical bottom funnel-shaped bottom, cone bottom slope angle is greater than the retention of stored grain and grain from the middle of a grain warehouse at the end out of the mouth, rushed through an external conveyor transport system.

Flat-style warehouse with conical bottom WAREHOUSE same food in the middle of a grain warehouse at the end to reach the mouth of artesian natural slope angle of azimuth, launch screw conveyor will push out the remaining food grain port until all food warehouse clearing barrel stop.

Six, by way of sub-sectional area of ​​the Silo

Can be divided into round, square, rectangular, and polygons, China built silo mostly round and square.
