HOPPER SILOS
SIMEZA corrugated steel sheet Hopper Bottom Silos are designed for agricultural and industrial plants such as drying plants, seed processing plants, storage plants, daily bins, dosing bins, bulk outload bins, industrial plants continuously fed with cereals such as flour mills, feed mills, rice mills, oil mills, and biofuel facilities.
They are used for the short/medium term storage of cereals, maize, soya, paddy, oil seeds and any other granulated free flowing materials.
They can be designed according to either ASAE/ANSI American or Euro-Code European norms as per tender specifications or client choice and are manufactured to withstand stress caused by continuous use, extreme temperatures, high winds, heavy snow and seismic loads. They also offer greater resistance to corrosion through thicker galvanization on the steel sheets.
SIMEZA Hopper Bottom Silos cover a wide range of models from 3.1 meters to 12.2 meters in diameter and from 14 to 2.500 m³ individual capacity.
