Concrete Silo Project
Some sites store in concrete and process in steel.
What This Machine Does
Some sites store in concrete and process in steel. TITAN takes the project as a whole: the concrete cells built locally to drawing, and the cleaning, conveying, handling and control equipment supplied, installed and commissioned around them.
Key Benefits
- One engineering scope covering storage, handling and the process equipment between them
- Cleaning and conveying sized to the intake rate rather than to the storage volume
- Concrete construction where the site or the climate calls for it
- Installation supervision and commissioning of the mechanical and electrical equipment
- Local civil contractor and factory supplied equipment working from one layout
Problems It Solves
- Civil and process trades working from different drawings
- Storage built without an intake that can keep up at harvest
- Cleaning equipment added after the silo route is already fixed
- No single party responsible when the system is commissioned
Who It Is For
- Grain storage operators building for the long term
- Processing plants with concrete storage already on site
- Projects with a civil contractor and no process partner
- Operators upgrading handling around existing concrete cells
Application Scenarios
- Storage projects where concrete cells are preferred to steel shells
- Sites combining concrete storage with steel silos in one battery
- Plants that need cleaning and conveying built into the storage project
- Long term storage in climates that suit heavy construction
Technical Features
- Cleaning and grading machines matched to the intake capacity
- Spouting, aspiration and conveying planned with the storage layout
- Bucket elevators, chain conveyors and gates sized for fill and discharge rates
- Mechanical and electrical installation supervised on site
- Commissioning with remote instruction or site training
Concrete Silo Project Model Table
Figures below are taken from the TITAN model sheets. Where a figure depends on the crop or the contamination level it is stated that way rather than averaged.
| Scope | Design, fabrication, installation supervision and commissioning |
|---|---|
| Storage | Concrete cells with steel silos where required |
| Handling | Bucket elevators, chain conveyors and gates |
| Processing | Cleaning and grading equipment sized to intake |
| Civil work | Executed locally to TITAN drawings |
How This Machine Is Built
Quality Control
- Layout cross checked between civil drawings and equipment footprints
- Setting out verified before equipment is placed
- Mechanical and electrical installation supervised through erection
- Function testing before handover with operator training
Materials And Wear Parts
- Concrete cells built locally
- Galvanized steel equipment and spouting
- Structural steel supports and towers
Customisation Options
- Storage split between concrete cells and steel silos
- Cleaning section sized to the crop and the contamination level
- Conveying routes designed for the site geometry
- Control and monitoring scope per project
Use Guide
- Fix the intake rate before the storage volume, because it sets the handling
- Agree the interfaces between civil work and equipment early
- Check setting out against equipment drawings before concrete is poured
- Plan commissioning and training into the schedule, not after it
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Steel silo battery alone | Concrete suits sites where heavy permanent construction is preferred, with steel used where flexibility matters. |
|---|---|
| Separate civil and equipment contracts | One layout and one commissioning party instead of two trades assuming the other got it right. |
Concrete Silo Project Questions
Does TITAN build the concrete work?
Civil work is executed locally to TITAN drawings. TITAN supplies, supervises and commissions the equipment.
Can you work with an existing concrete silo?
Yes. Handling, cleaning and conveying can be designed around storage that already exists.
What is included in commissioning?
Commissioning of the mechanical and electrical equipment including remote instruction or site training.
How is the project scoped?
From the intake rate, the crops, the storage volume and the plot, which together fix the equipment list.
Who is responsible for the schedule?
The civil programme is local. TITAN plans fabrication and shipment against it so equipment arrives when the structure is ready.
