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.
