Silo tanks, also known simply as silos, are specialized storage structures designed for storing bulk materials, particularly granular and powdered commodities such as grains, cement, coal, and other similar products. They play a crucial role in various industries by enabling efficient storage, handling, and distribution of bulk materials. Here's an in-depth overview of silo tanks, covering their types, design considerations, applications, and advantages.
Tower silos are tall, cylindrical structures, typically made from concrete, steel, or fiberglass. They are designed for storing bulk materials vertically and are commonly used in agriculture for storing grains and silage.
Bunker silos are horizontal storage systems, often constructed using concrete walls and a compacted earth floor. They are primarily used for storing silage and other forages in agriculture.
