FLAT BOTTOM

Our flat bottom silos with corrugated walls are designed to store different types of cereals and/or granulated materials in bulk. . With diameters from 3 m to 32 m and capacities from 30 m3 to 26,000 m3, our CERES series silos are designed to ensure safe storage for a wide variety of free-flowing products, even in very long storage periods. The corrugated steel sheets of the silo body are manufactured from pre-galvanized steel coils, which are supplied by approved steel suppliers according our quality system. The main characteristics of the steel used for its manufacture are S450 + Z600 according to EN-10346..

The corrugated steel is made up of waves 106 mm long and 13 mm deep, providing a useful sheet height of 1166 mm and a useful length of 3140 mm. The thickness of the wall sheets goes from 0.8 mm to 3.5 mm. If because of calculation requirements, a greater thickness is required, combinations of different thicknesses will be used until the necessary strength is achieved.

The external galvanized stiffeners in the silo wall transmit the vertical load of the grain and silo self-weight to the foundation.
