Hongdefa 4*500T cone bottom silo project in Nigeria

Hongdefa installed an advanced storage silo equipment solution in Makurdi, Nigeria, including 4sets of  500T cone bottom silos and a 100TPD corn mill. This system is designed for efficient and safe storage and management of large quantities of bulk corn materials.

The 4sets 500-ton cone-bottom silos, with their unique conical bottom design, ensure the smooth flow of materials during discharge, reducing residue and waste. Each silo is made of high-strength materials to ensure the stability and durability of the structure, and can withstand the weight of large amounts of materials and the impact of the external environment. It provides a continuous supply of raw corn for the 100-ton corn mill complete line.

Hongdefa 4*500T flat bottom silo

Hongdefa successfully installed an advanced storage system consisting of four 500-ton flat-bottom silos in Zimbabwe. This system is designed to meet the needs of large-scale material storage. Each silo adopts a flat-bottom structure with a spacious and flat bottom, which is convenient for uniform distribution and efficient discharge of materials.

These 4*500T flat-bottom silos are carefully built with high-strength and corrosion-resistant materials to ensure the stability of the structure and reliability of long-term use. They can not only withstand the weight of a large amount of materials, but also effectively resist the impact of external environmental factors such as wind, rain, and moisture on the materials, ensuring the quality and safety of stored materials.

In Zimbabwe, this storage system has been widely used in agriculture, food processing, chemical industry and other fields, providing local companies with efficient and convenient material storage solutions. With its professional technology and rich experience, Hongdefa has successfully helped Zimbabwean customers improve material management efficiency, reduce operating costs, and help maximize the profit of owners. 

Silo installation and commissioning

Installation of feeding and discharging system: Install the feeding and discharging system of the silo, including conveyor belts, lifting devices, metering devices, etc., to ensure smooth feeding and accurate metering of materials.

Installation of monitoring system: Install the monitoring system of the silo, including material level monitoring, temperature monitoring, humidity monitoring, etc., to monitor the status and environmental parameters of the materials in the silo in real time.

Commissioning and testing: Debug and test the installed silo to ensure the normal operation of each system and meet the design requirements and usage needs.

 

Set up necessary safety facilities at the construction site, such as safety nets, safety belts, warning signs, etc., to ensure the safety of construction workers. At the same time, provide safety education and training to construction workers to improve safety awareness.

500T grain silo 

Type: cone bottom silo, flat bottom silo.​

​500 ton silo is a large storage equipment, widely used in agriculture, industry and other fields. The following is a detailed introduction to 500 ton silo:

1. Basic Overview

Capacity: 500 ton silo has a large capacity and is suitable for storing large amounts of materials.

Structure: Silos are usually cylindrical in design, and the bottom can be conical or flat to meet the discharge requirements of different materials.

Material: The main body of the silo is generally made of high-strength steel plate, which has excellent load-bearing capacity and corrosion resistance. Some silo inner walls will also use special anti-corrosion materials to extend the service life.

2. Main uses

Agricultural field: 500-ton silos are mainly used in the agricultural field to store grains, such as wheat, maize,corn, rice, etc. It provides long-term, safe and stable storage space, which helps to reduce food losses and ensure food security.

Industrial field: In the industrial field, 500-ton silos can be used to store various bulk materials, such as limestone powder, cement, aggregates, etc. These materials need to be kept dry and clean during storage, and silos can meet these requirements.

3. Advantages and Features

Large capacity: 500-ton silos have a large storage capacity and can meet large-scale storage needs.

High strength: The silo is made of high-strength steel plates with strong bearing capacity and can withstand external pressure and internal material pressure.

Corrosion resistance: The inner wall of the silo is made of anti-corrosion materials, which can resist corrosion and erosion of materials and extend its service life.

Easy to manage: Modern silos are usually equipped with intelligent equipment such as material level monitoring systems, which can realize real-time monitoring and management of materials and improve management efficiency.

4. Supporting equipment

Material inlet and outlet equipment: Silos are usually equipped with material inlet and outlet equipment, such as bucket elevators, conveyors, etc., to achieve rapid material inlet and outlet.

Monitoring equipment: In order to monitor the material status in the silo in real time, equipment such as material level monitoring systems, temperature and humidity measurement systems, etc. are usually installed.

Ventilation equipment: In order to maintain air circulation in the silo and prevent the material from getting damp or moldy, ventilation equipment is usually installed.

​5. Practical application cases

500-ton silos are widely used in agriculture, industry and other fields. For example, in the agricultural field, it can be used as the main grain storage equipment for farms or grain processing enterprises.

Preparation before installation:

Site survey: Conduct a detailed site survey of the silo installation site, including factors such as topography, geology, and climate, to ensure that the site meets the requirements for silo installation. Conduct a detailed survey of the soil where the silo is located to ensure that the soil meets the construction requirements. If it does not meet the requirements, foundation treatment is required.

Design drawing review: Carefully review the design drawings of the silo to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the drawings, and understand the structural characteristics, size specifications, installation requirements and other information of the silo. According to the results of the soil survey and the design requirements of the silo, carry out foundation design to determine the type, depth, strength and other parameters of the foundation.

Construction plan formulation: According to the design drawings and site survey results, formulate a detailed construction plan, including construction process, time nodes, personnel division of labor, etc.

Construction team selection: Select a construction team with rich experience and professional qualifications to ensure construction quality and safety.

Determination of installation location: According to the design drawings and the actual situation on site, determine the installation location and elevation of the silo, and make necessary adjustments.

Installation sequence: According to the design requirements and construction sequence, the main structure of the silo is installed in an orderly manner. Usually includes bottom installation, wall panel installation, support structure installation and other links.

Connection treatment: Process the connection parts of the silo to ensure the tightness and stability of the connection parts. Sealant, welding and other methods can be used for connection treatment.
