Basic Information on Muyang Silo

Steel silos are ubiquitous in manufacturing plants wherever dry granulated or powdered materials need to be stored. These silos vary in size and are usually supported by a steel frame on a reinforced concrete foundation. The steel silo loaded at the top by pumping the materials in using air pressure or using a conveyor. The silos discharge the materials to a truck or a freight car through a hop-per at the bottom.

Silo materials do not act like a fluid; dry materials have frictional or cohesive resistance and tend to form domes or "bridges" with the walls of the silo that prevent it from flowing freely downward. The lateral pressures on the grain storage silo shell from the dry materials are of a different character than the lateral pressures on a retaining wall from soil at the back of the wall. The vertical pressures on the bottom of the silo from the dry material are affected by the bridging action. In order to discharge the hoppers at the bottom, a vibratory system, called a bridge breaker that temporarily destroys the frictional resistance or cohesive bonds is required.

Features of Muyang steel silo

Large Capacity
One single-silo capacity is up to 18,000 tons with comprehensive configurations to meet customers' different requirements.

High Accuracy
Complete advanced processing equipment and technology are introduced from USA to effectively ensure working accuracy and reduce damage to galvanized layer.

Less Residues
External installable stiffeners contribute to less grain residues on storage silo walls.

Detachable and movable
With standardized and modularized production, components and parts have a high standardization and good interchangeability, thus can be partially replaced or completely transferred.
