Hopper Rice Steel Silos Was Successfully Run in South Korea

Hopper rice steel silos (also called cone bottom silos, hopper bottom storage bins, hopper bins) are the steel silos with a cone bottom. Hopper rice steel silos are erected on the supporting structure to make the delicate products unloading easily through gravity. Hopper silos have a smooth wall hopper transition with no steps or flanges to offer the cleanest product discharge from the silo. The stored rice inside the silo are isolated from the ground, thereby preventing humidity and allowing the interconnection of silos through tapes, facilitating perfect extraction or dosage.

Four sets rice steel silos were finished installation in South Korea after two weeks  intensive construction by 2 technicians from Shelley Engineering.

The rice steel silos specifications as below:

Silo roof angle: 25°

Silo diameter:4.5m

Silo volume: 90m3

Ring beam height: 3.19m

Eave height: 7.725m

Total height: 8.78m

Silo hopper angle: 45°

Silo material: 275g/m² hot-dip galvanized steel

Hopper bottom steel silos are widely applied for the storage of grains (sunflower seeds, soy, maize, sorghum, rice, industrial products and other products, etc) and feed pellets for animal, poultry and fish that require special storage conditions. They can also provide temporary storage of wet grain as part of a grain drying plant and other buffer bin applications in silo plants. They are widely used in poultry farm, rice mill, flour mill, soybean-oil mill, animal feed mill plant and brewery plant.
