Stainless Steel Bolted Silos by Center Enamel: Advanced Modular Storage Solutions for Agriculture and Industry
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd, operating globally as Center Enamel, is a leading manufacturer specializing in stainless steel bolted silos engineered for efficient, safe, and scalable bulk storage. With decades of expertise and cutting-edge bolted silo technology, Center Enamel delivers modular silos adaptable to industries including agriculture, feed, grain, chemicals, and more.
Understanding Stainless Steel Bolted SilosBolted stainless steel silos are constructed from prefabricated steel panels, generally made of grades such as SS304 or SS316, which are coated or polished to resist corrosion. These panels are precision-cut and drilled for bolted assembly onsite, forming a strong, sealed storage vessel optimized for bulk solids or liquids. The modular design facilitates flexible sizing, ease of maintenance, and transportability.
Key Features and Technical Specifications
· Material:
o Stainless Steel SS304 or SS316 for superior corrosion resistance and hygiene.
o Plate thickness ranges typically from 3mm to 12 mm depending on silo size and application.
· Construction:
o Modular bolted design allowing rapid onsite assembly and disassembly.
o Seamless bolted joints with gasket sealing ensure leak-tight performance.
o Typical silo diameters range from 2.7 to 32 meters; heights adapted to capacity needs.
· Capacity:
o Silos available from small capacities of a few tons to large silos exceeding 15,000 tons.
o Large capacity silos support bulk storage for grains, feed, chemical powders, and liquids.
· Design Components:
o Cylindrical body with fixed domed or conical segmented roofs.
o Optional conical, flat, or segmented bottom plates with discharge systems such as butterfly valves, screw conveyors, or rotary feeders.
o Safety features including ladders, guardrails, vent filters, level indicators, and access ports.
· Surface Treatment:
o Polished interior surfaces for material flow and hygiene.
o External finishes: powder coating, epoxy, or natural stainless steel polish.
· Compliance:
o Conforms to ISO 9001 quality management, EN1090 structural standards and other regional certifications.
