Welded Silos
Welded Silos
Welded Silos offer easy maintenance and unmatched weatherproof construction. Offering the highest quality standards, these silos include: tank sections which are dimensionally held to extremely close tolerance for high weldment integrity; submerged arc welding of carbon steel cylinders for 100% penetration with no slag or porosity; automatic power brushing of exterior circumferential welds of white metal finish for inspection and coating; and sand blasted interiors with high tooth profile for superior paint- to-metal bonding with superior grade coatings. Stainless steel and aluminum silos are also available.
REQUEST A QUOTE Find a rep- A welded silo is a good option when a facility requires large-volume bulk material storage with durable, weather-resistant construction. It can provide a centralized storage solution for supplying raw material to downstream material handling and processing systems.
- Welded construction creates a continuous silo structure designed for high weld integrity and weather protection. This makes welded silos well suited for demanding bulk storage applications where durability and long-term material protection are important.
- Welded silos are designed with weatherproof construction to provide an enclosed bulk storage environment. Protecting material from outdoor conditions helps maintain the integrity of stored material before it enters the production process.
- Silo sizing should consider material consumption, typical delivery quantities, desired reserve inventory, available installation space, and production requirements. The goal is to provide sufficient storage capacity while supporting the facility's material replenishment strategy.
- Material selection should be based on the characteristics of the stored material, environmental conditions, contamination requirements, and the needs of the application. The Welded Silos are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum configurations.
- A welded silo can serve as the bulk storage source for downstream material handling equipment. Discharge requirements, inventory monitoring, material conveying connections, and the overall plant layout should be considered when integrating the silo with the production process.
