100 ton cone bottom silo Introduction

The 100 ton cone bottom silo is a steel silo that features a conical bottom, which not only facilitates the rapid unloading of materials such as grain, but also improves filling efficiency. Cone bottom silos are often referred to as "cone bottom silos" and are mainly used to store free-flowing granular products such as corn, rice, wheat, soybeans, feed pellets and plastic pellets. This silo structure stands on a supporting steel frame structure, allowing the stored products to be easily unloaded by gravity.

The main functions of the 100 ton cone bottom silo

Efficient Storage

  • High Capacity Storage: The design of conical bottom silos is tailored for storing large volumes of materials, particularly for bulk products like corn, rice, and wheat, providing ample storage space for 100-ton capacities.
  • Wide Material Adaptability: These silos are not limited to grains; they also accommodate various granular and some powdery materials, demonstrating their broad application range.

Easy Discharge

  • Gravity Flow Design: The conical bottom design allows materials to naturally flow out under gravity without the need for additional equipment, significantly enhancing discharge efficiency.
  • Smooth Inner Walls: The silo walls feature a corrugated design with smooth interiors free of steps or flanges, ensuring a seamless discharge of materials and reducing residue.

Temperature and Humidity Control

  • Ventilation System: The silo incorporates multiple pipeline designs connected to fans, facilitating rapid cooling and dust removal within the storage, effectively preserving grain quality.
  • Temperature Monitoring System: During normal operation, if the temperature inside the silo rises to a critical point due to moisture content, the temperature monitoring system will promptly alert operators to ventilate and cool down, preventing grain spoilage.

Flexibility and Convenience

  • Flexible Assembly: Conical bottom silos utilize a modular structure with a high degree of standardization in components, allowing for quick installation, shorter construction periods, and ease of disassembly and maintenance.
  • Automated Support: Depending on usage requirements, the silo can be equipped with automatic systems for grain entry, exit, ventilation, drying, temperature measurement, and fullness detection, enabling automated management and enhancing grain storage safety.

Economic and Durable

  • Cost-Effective: Compared to other types of storage facilities, conical bottom silo have relatively low construction costs, and their lifespan can reach over 30 years, providing significant economic benefits.
  • Strong Corrosion Resistance: Made from galvanized steel and other corrosion-resistant materials, these silos ensure long-term durability and stability in use.

Structural composition of 100-ton cone-bottom silo

Walls

The side walls of the silo are typically made of steel plates. They not only provide structural support but also protect the stored grain from external environmental influences. The walls can be modeled as either curved or straight, and for large, deep silo structures, layered modeling is often required to accurately calculate the lateral load from stored materials.

Roof

The roof is designed to cover the silo and prevent moisture and other external substances from entering. It can be flat or sloped to facilitate rainwater drainage.

Floor

The floor serves as the foundation of the silo, supporting the entire weight of the stored grain. The design of the floor must be robust enough to withstand significant static and dynamic loads.

Conical Bottom

The conical bottom is a key feature of the silo, allowing stored grain to be discharged through a central outlet. This design helps reduce dead spots and facilitates smoother grain flow.

Support Structure

For large silos, the support structure is essential to ensure the overall stability of the entire structure. This may include columns, beams, and other reinforcing elements.

Inlet and Outlet Systems

These systems comprise the inlet for conveying grain into the silo and the outlet for discharging grain from the silo. They are crucial components for the automation and control of grain flow.

Ventilation System

To maintain the freshness of the grain and prevent mold, the ventilation system regulates the airflow within the silo to maintain suitable temperature and humidity levels.

The main advantages of 100 ton cone bottom silo

Efficient Storage

  • Large Capacity: The conical bottom design allows the silo to store up to 100 tons of materials, making it suitable for granular products like corn, rice, and wheat.
  • High Space Utilization: The cylindrical structure provides greater storage capacity on a limited footprint, effectively reducing land costs.

Easy Discharge

  • Self-Flowing Silo: The conical bottom design enables materials to flow out naturally under gravity, eliminating the need for additional equipment and significantly improving discharge efficiency.
  • Smooth Inner Walls: The silo’s corrugated inner walls reduce resistance during material discharge, ensuring smooth flow and minimizing residue.

Temperature and Humidity Control

  • Ventilation System: The system employs multiple ducts and fans to achieve rapid cooling and dust removal, maintaining the quality of the stored grain.
  • Temperature Monitoring System: Equipped with a monitoring system, the silo continuously tracks internal temperatures and triggers alerts to prevent grain spoilage.

Flexibility and Convenience

  • Flexible Assembly: The silo features a modular design with standardized components, allowing for quick installation, short construction periods, and easy relocation and maintenance.
  • Automated Configuration: Users can customize the silo with automated systems for material intake, discharge, ventilation, and drying to enhance grain storage safety.

Cost-Effectiveness and Durability

  • Lower Construction Costs: Compared to other storage facilities, the conical bottom silo has relatively low construction costs while offering a lifespan of over 30 years, providing substantial economic benefits.
  • Strong Corrosion Resistance: The use of galvanized steel and other corrosion-resistant materials ensures the silo’s long-term durability and stability.

Versatility

  • Wide Applicability: The silo is not only suitable for grain storage but can also accommodate other bulk materials like fertilizers and animal feed, enhancing its utility.

Application scope of 100 ton cone bottom silo

Coban  Silo is widely used for grain storage such as wheat, corn, soybean, paddy, rice, soybean meal, barley, malt, sunflower seeds, rapeseed, peanuts, flour, and other powder materials, oat, special Silo, and seeds, etc.

100 ton cone bottom silo technical parameters

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