Muyang silo manufactures a full line of stiffened and un-stiffened farm bins (silos) as well as a complete line of stiffened steel silo.

We Muyang help installing Grain Storage Silo for our clients across the nation. Our prestigious installation of grain storage silos, with quality and strength of commercial grain storage tanks. The equipment used to manufacture commercial grain storage tanks is the newest and most advanced production equipment in the industry. These have an external bin stiffener that provide an excellent support and prevent the accumulation of grain and the resulting spoilage that can occur with internal stiffeners.

Muyang is one of the few suppliers in the world providing a single silo capacity of more than 10,000 tons. Muyang fabricated storage silo construction technology is the world's most advanced in steel silo construction. The type of silo is widely used in Europe and the United States with the highest share in the field of steel silo. Muyang produces silos in all molds to avoid human factors, so it features high quality and stability, and thanks to mold production, assembled on-site, there is no damage in zinc coating.

Tips to Choose the Best Silo

Silos are commonly used to store bulk materials. And how to choose right silos is usually a problem. Here I would introduce you some tips on grain storage silo.

Why do we need grain silos?

It is very important to keep the grains market-ready for sale. The grains should be kept dry. Storage bins should facilitate easy handling of the grains. Steel silo is meant to store grains safely so that you get a good return for the money invested. These silos come in different models. There are simple bins with a single auger to dry the grains and large complicated ones that are equipped with sophisticated mechanisms to handle and dry the grains.

Before investing in silos you must be aware of the choices available to you.

How to select the best grain silos?

Getting grain silos is a matter of huge investment. You must make sure that the investment you make gives you good return. The silos you built must last long and provide all the benefits you have been looking for. When it comes to choosing the material for storage silo you have a lot of options.

Generally the grain silos are built from metals, cement and bricks. Storing grains in metal silos is very common. You will find silos made from galvanized metal and smooth metal. But these are susceptible to rust and may not be safe for your grains. You cannot increase the capacity also when you have the need.

Assembly Type Steel Silo

Steel silos can be equipped with complete temperature control and ventilation system that guarantees the maintenance of the grain in good conditions, and it's not necessary to require the soil to be as firm in order to support the weight of the structure. Sometimes grain storage silo can be built on land that doesn't have the higher load-bearing capacity needed for concrete.

The assembly silo is made of high quality hot-galvanized steel plates which are rolled into corrugation and made into standard connecting holes. These plates are connected by high-strength screw bolts. The steel silo plates/thickness distribution is set according to equal strength theory which makes the silo plates bear average stress. The vertical friction is supported by the stiffeners. These stiffeners are evenly and vertically distributed in the silos. The connecting screw bolts are served with round galvanized steel washers and the connection holes are served with age-resistant and water-proof washers. The silo plates/interval is injected by water-proof daub belts that are for aviation special purpose. The grain silo is assisted with flat repairing doors, outside ladder, ladder guard rings.

Advantage of assembly type steel silo

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

***Good sealing performance
The silo is of a good sealing performance and can be used as a fumigating silo.

***Long service life
Best sheets match to silo body enables a normal service life up to 20-25 years.

***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.

Muyang Steel Silo

Muyang silo products could be sorted into two categories: Lipps Silo and Assembly Silo, of which we are extremely proud. We have already undertaken over 1000 storage projects around the world. In the steel silo market of China, both of those are ranked in the first place, as the reward of our ten years of hard work.

Our storage silo storage system has exported to more than 30 countries, such as: Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Phlippines, Japan, Korea, India, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kazakstan, Uzbekstan, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Sudan, South Africa, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, Turkey, Russia, etc. Muyang silos can be applied in the grain processing, oil & fat processing, flour processing, brewing, chemical and feed processing industry and ports and so on.

Principle of Lipps Silo Fabrication:
1st step: Send a galvanized coil sheet with width of 495mm into a cold-roll-forming machine by a coil opening machine to form into a geometric shape needed;
2nd step: Bend it by a bending machine;
3rd step: Seam bended sheets, so as to form a 30-40 mm wide continuous spiral-shaped high joint around the outside of the silo, which will strengthen the silo structure.

Assembly silo is a kind of the most advanced grain storage silo in the world, widely used in European and American countries and has the highest market share worldwide. Thanks to the automatic molded fabrication system, silo component parts are manufactured without any man-made impact.

Silo bins are assembled and erected on site, featuring no damage to the galvanized surface of sheet steel. The side boards and stiffeners are connected by means of high-strength bolts, and all of the silo parts are dismountable. Volume capacity from 1 ton to 18000 tons based on the bulk density of 0.75 g/cm³ .

Explosion Resistant Silos

For storage of explosive solids, Muyang offers special steel silo with an explosion-resistant design. A distinction is made between silos that are pressure-tight (no deformation allowed) and pressure-shock-resistant (deformation allowed). The silos are designed for either the solid's maximum explosive pressure (up to 9 bar) or in case explosion pressure relief is used, for the reduced explosive pressure (generally 2 bar).

Muyang makes not only static calculations for pressure-shock-resistant storage silo, but also the calculations for the pressure relief surface. Its approved explosion flaps protect pressure-relieved silos. In the event of an explosion, the explosion flap will open and allow the silo to relief pressure. Unlike rupture disks, explosion flaps are self-closing and can be used again after an explosion. If needed, we equip explosion flaps with under pressure safety mechanisms and electric heating.

Muyang has decades of expertise in this field and guarantee its customers the highest quality and greatest safety.

Silo History

The design of silos for the storage of bulk granular materials and other bulk products has been the focus of research for more than 100 years with the early publications appearing in the literature spanning the period from the latter 1800's to the early 1900's.

While steel silo has been in existence for many centuries, the known published research into silo loads was performed over the period of some 30 years commencing in the early 1880's. A review of this early silo load research has been published by Roberts (1995, 1999). The most widely known work in the early period of storage silo research is that due to the German Engineer, H.A. Janssen (1895). This work is significant in that it recognized some fundamental aspects of internal and boundary friction which limit the magnitude of the loads on silo floors and walls.

Following the foundation work of Jenike, the study of bin wall loads gained new impetus (Jenike et al (1968-1973). With the flow modes clearly defined and the advantages of mass-flow being identified, the need for determining the wall loadings in mass-flow bins became a necessity.

Significant increases in wall loads may occur in grain storage silo due to increases in grain moisture content in combination with thermal expansion and contraction (Roberts (1998)). An example of such loadings has been identified as a contributing factor to the failure and collapse of the steel wheat storage silo in Australia.
