For a flat bottom silo, a flat surface is required to give full support. The floor design of the steel silos
is decided by the material to be silos. In flat bottom silos, air
slides can be bolted onto the plinths cast into the floor or bolted
directly to the silo floor. If you plan to store cement, fly ash or
other materials that require fluidizing systems, flat bottom silos are
generally the first choice. For a custom made steel silos such as
columns are required below the silo floor, our material handling
designers and silo designers will reach agreement through consultation
to ensure the needs of both are met. Additionally, if the steel grain
silos need to accept loads from mixing, condition and unloading
equipments, equipment floors will be added to the steel silo plans.
