Concrete Supported Plate Silo

Concrete-supported steel plate silos integrate the load-bearing advantages of concrete with the structural characteristics of steel silos. This type of steel silo is positioned atop a concrete foundation, featuring either a concrete cone hopper or a steel cone hopper at its base. Ventilation devices may be installed in the cone hopper walls. The core structure utilizes concrete as the supporting foundation and steel as the main silo body, balancing stability and practicality.

Concrete-Supported Steel Plate Silos

 

Concrete-supported steel plate silos integrate the load-bearing advantages of concrete with the structural characteristics of steel silos. This type of steel silo is positioned atop a concrete foundation, featuring either a concrete cone hopper or a steel cone hopper at its base. Ventilation devices may be installed in the cone hopper walls. The core structure utilizes concrete as the supporting foundation and steel as the main silo body, balancing stability and practicality.

 

Core Structural Components

 
 

Support System

Constructed using reinforced concrete casting, commonly featuring independent foundations, ring foundations, or pile cap foundations. Some designs incorporate concrete columns/ring beams.

 
 
 

Silo Structure

Silo walls utilize corrugated steel plates or spiral-locked steel plates, assembled via bolting or locking processes. Silo roofs are predominantly steel structures (e.g., space frame roofs, conical roofs).

 
 
 

Auxiliary Structures

Includes discharge chutes and maintenance platforms made of concrete or composite concrete-steel structures. Some designs incorporate concrete lateral-force-resisting walls.

 

 

Key Features

 

 

High Load-bearing Capacity

Concrete foundations/supports withstand silo self-weight, material pressure, and wind loads, accommodating large-diameter (20-50 m) and high-capacity storage requirements.

 
 

Outstanding Stability

Rigid concrete-steel connections minimize settlement and deformation risks, suitable for complex geological conditions (e.g., soft soil foundations).

 
 

Exceptional Durability

Concrete resists corrosion and aging, while steel silos undergo anti-corrosion treatment, ensuring a service life exceeding 20-30 years.

 
 

Versatile Material Compatibility

Sealing performance is optimized through steel silo design, enabling storage of grains, feed, cement, fly ash, and other powdered materials.

 

 

Application Scenarios

 

  • Large-scale grain storage facilities, feed mills, and oil processing plants for bulk storage of grains and oils.
  • Construction materials industry (cement plants, mixing stations) for storing cement, clinker, mineral powder, and other powdered materials.
  • Ports and chemical industrial parks requiring long-term stable storage with high foundation load-bearing demands.
