There is a question we get regularly from clients in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America: “How long does it take to get the silo here?” A SIMEZA hopper silo with a 5,000-tonne capacity does not leave our Utebo facility as a single structure. It leaves as a precisely sequenced set of corrugated steel […]
Most silo manufacturers treat the access door as an afterthought. The oversized access door on a SIMEZA silo is engineered for the person who will actually use it: the operator who needs to inspect grain condition after a humid season, the maintenance crew carrying tools inside for a full cleanout, the team working against the
One door. Every inspection, every cleanout, every year of operation. Read More »
Every year, the world loses enough grain to feed 1 billion people.Not in the field. After the harvest. Post-harvest losses are one of the most underreported challenges in global food security, and the figures vary sharply by region: 📍 Sub-Saharan Africa: losses range from 20% to 40% of total grain production, driven by inadequate storage
Grain doesn’t disappear all at once. It disappears quietly: in the humidity that builds overnight, in the pests that enter through a poorly sealed joint, in the grain left behind at the bottom of a flat-floor silo after every discharge cycle. After 50 years of designing and installing grain storage systems across five continents, we’ve
Grain doesn’t disappear by accident. These five losses happen without the right storage. Read More »
Safety at the top of a silo starts with the right equipment. At SIMEZA Silos, we make sure our access systems meet strict European safety standards. When operators need to check the roof or conveyor bridges, they need a safe way up. We build our spiral stairs, vertical ladders, and catwalks to provide secure access.
Secure heights for your team. Our safety and access standards. Read More »
In today’s rapidly expanding global agricultural market, securing a successful harvest is only half the battle. The true challenge often lies in safely and efficiently storing massive quantities of commodities before they are processed, sold, or exported. When standard storage options fall short, high-volume grain storage solutions become the backbone of successful agribusinesses. If your
We engineer hopper bottom silos for rice storage facilities requiring rapid product discharge. The conical shape ensures complete evacuation, preventing material from remaining at the base. We utilize a modular design with galvanized corrugated steel sheets, delivering high resistance in all environments and rapid assembly. Our hopper bottom silos optimize the short-term storage of rice.

We engineered and designed a 5,000-tonne indoor rice storage plant for PETKUS ASIA LIMITED in Battambang, Cambodia. The facility integrates 20 hopper bottom silos \(HBS-S 5.30/11/45\) and 4 hopper bottom silos \(HBS-S 4.60/05/45\). Our scope included basic and detailed engineering, general layout design, and flow chart development for the storage area. We executed the architectural

Over the past few days, the sales teams from Tornum Group’s European delegations had the opportunity to take a deep dive into SIMEZA Silos storage solutions, learn about our latest technical advancements, and analyze the upcoming developments outlined in our roadmap. To see our technology in action, the visit continued at the Grupo Vall Companys
Why Long-Term Asset Protection Requires Galvanization We executed a complete infrastructure overhaul for a client facing critical failures in their existing fiberglass \(GRP\) storage lines. The primary driver for this transition was the material’s inability to withstand long-term environmental stress compared to galvanized steel. While fiberglass offers corrosion resistance, it is structurally compromised by UV
