Industrial welded cement silo for powders (cement, fly ash, lime, fillers) in batching plants and bulk depots. Factory-welded shell, cone and roof form a monolithic body with fully welded seams for low leakage and high stiffness. The roof is prepped for a silo top filter, pressure relief valve (PRV) and level sensors; the conical outlet interfaces with screw/rotary valves and aeration systems.
What it does
Provides dust-tight storage for dry powders, integrates with pneumatic tanker filling, and delivers metered discharge to conveyors or loading lines—keeping housekeeping clean and batching stable.
Key benefits
-
Monolithic, fully welded construction → fewer joints, very low leak risk
-
Factory QA welding; straight install on site (crane lift & anchor)
-
High structural rigidity for wind/seismic design (per project)
-
Roof-ready: top filter, PRV, level sensor nozzles
-
Discharge-ready: flanges for screw/rotary valve, aeration pads/nozzles or bin activator
-
Corrosion protection: industrial multi-coat paint or hot-dip galvanized externals
-
Safety access: ladder + cage, platforms, guardrails (per site standard)
-
Maintenance access: roof & cone manholes; optional walkways

Applications
Ready-mix & precast plants • bulk powder depots • cement/fly ash buffer storage • silo farms feeding screws or loading bellows.
FAQ
Q: Welded vs bolted—when to choose welded?
A: Welded is best for permanent sites, minimal leak paths and fast crane installation once delivered. Bolted suits restricted transport routes or future relocation.
Q: Delivery & erection?
A: Typically single-piece or large sections, lifted by crane to the prepared foundation; check route/height/weight limits with logistics.
Q: What coatings are available?
A: Industrial epoxy/PU paint systems or hot-dip galvanizing; choose per environment (coastal, industrial, indoor).
Q: ATEX/dust zone?
A: ATEX-ready builds with earthing and documentation can be supplied—share your zone.
Q: Which accessories are typical?
A: Silo top filter, PRV, level sensors, aeration, butterfly/rotary valve, cement screw conveyor.
