DETAILS OF OUR BOLTED SILO'S
Experience in the industry has led to the design concept where we alleviate the following negative factors in conventional welded silo's:
Manufacturing cost where huge pieces of steelwork has to be handled to built - impossible without crane facilities
Craneage costs to load silo at manufacturer
Exhorbitant transport costs to get the silo delivered to site
Depending on the size silo - the need to use a large crane to erect ( a conventional 73m3 silo is 10m plus high )
Should the silo no longer be needed, most of the above costs come into effect again should you want to move or sell the silo
Our design allows for the silo to be fabricated much easier and quicker with more detail and precision
A complete 73m3 silo (cement = 100t ) can be transported on a 6t truck - most users of silo's have their own 6 or 8t truck. when crated a 73m3 silo comes in a box 3.2m x 1.7m x 0.8m. when erected it is less than 7m high ( less windload and much quicker to fill )
To erect our silo you need a much smaller crane - it is a simple operation to pre-assemble the units ready for craneage
You can extend your silo at any time at minimal cost - simply unbolt the "roof' and add another module
To move the unit again is a simple operation
