500 Ton Grain Silo

As the name implies, 500 ton grain silo is a warehouse for storing grain. The selection of grain silo should be conducive to food security storage, be advanced to a certain extent, be conducive to the realization of mechanization, and be suitable for the implementation of advanced grain storage technology.

For 500 tons of grain storage, we usually recommend a hopper-bottom silo. Hopper bottom steel silos store materials out of the silos with good self-cleaning effect and no residue. The warehouse is suitable for seed, flour, aquaculture, chemical, and other industries with moderate reserves and frequent silos. The hopper-bottom steel silo support structure of the cone-bottom steel plate warehouse is strong, and the cone-bottom strength is high.

1. 500 ton grain silo Assembly, easy to ship and save freight.

2. Hot-dip galvanized plates (275g/m2-600g/m2), very WATERPROOF &RUST-PROOF.

3. Hopper bottom has low cost price.

4. 500-ton grain silo can store grain safely and save labor costs and space.

How do we assure the silo solidity?

• 1- Roof Top:  500 ton grain silo the roof is designed to stand up even the harshest environment of extreme snow disaster with the echo of top and down part strong structure and connecting radial ribs which is Z interconnected again itself. Roof panels incorporate with ribs with over and under lap profiles ensuring a precise fit.
• 2- Body Steel Plate:  A commercial 275g/m2 double galvanized steel coating increases life and durability. 450g/m2 and 600g/m2 coating available for customized orders. Each sidewall sheet is manufactured from high-tensile steel that can overcome extreme power, pressure.
• 3- Stiffeners:  HKB’s high tension stiffener(can be located inside or outside the silo,) profiles make bins stronger allowing silos to stand well even under an extreme hurricane. Base stiffener boots are coated so they won’t rust over time.
• 4- Wind Ring:  For tall silos or that need to resist heavy wind. Wind ring and brackets reduce bolt holes in stiffeners; Swaged technology ensure silo power load capacity.
• 5- High strength bolts and screws:  HKB’s high strength bolts paired with sealing washers, coated hardware provides added protection from rust to ensure your grain bin stands the test of time.
• 6- Manhole:  Double layer security locking manhole system.
• 7- Wide Flange H Beam Support Structure:  The wide flange H-Beam support structure has the strength and durability to support the heavy hopper silo loads for a long time, and with consideration of wind and seismic requirements.

Scientifically speaking, the silo capacity should be measured with volume (m3). Even in the same silo, the storage tons will be different for different grains with different densities. The following table is calculated based on a grain density of 0.75kg/m3, and surely HKB customizes silo systems unique for you.

HKB designed and manufactured according to the customer’s site and needs. As a professional grain silo manufacturer, HKB can provide turnkey projects. Offering the whole system design from cleaning and drying to storage, maize/corn/wheat/rice milling/feed pelleting, etc.
