Feed silo
is a storage bin used to store feedstock in industrial systems such as
the creation of steam power. In agriculture, feed silos are applied for
large-scale animal feed or grain storage. In general, feed silos are
able to store both granular and liquid materials. In most cases, feed
silos are elevated above the level of the system it is used to feed, so
that the force of gravity is used for moving the feedstock into the
system. Feed storage bins have a level indicator or a other access point
to monitor the condition of the feedstock inside. If levels get too
low, the operators can add more feedstock through a valve on the top of
the bin.
►A. Agricultural Feed Silo
Agricultural feed silos are ideal storage solutions for animal feed and
grain. When open the valve, the feedstock can drain into the
transportation device such as a truck. Agricultural feed silos are
generally made of steel or stainless steel to ensure the strength and
makes the silo more suitable for long term storage.
►B. Chemical Feed Silo
Chemical feed silos are specially designed to store chemicals for water
treatment, Chlorine storage bin for example. Chemical feed silos are
generally made of polyethylene since metal silos may react with the
chemicals.
►C. Water Feed Silo
Water feed silos are used for liquid storage in many systems and steam power plant is one of the common applications.
