Welding Type Silo for Liquid Material Storage
Not every stored material suits a bolted shell.
What This Machine Does
Not every stored material suits a bolted shell. Welded silos are built where the contents need a continuous sealed wall, typically liquid and fine powder material, and where the site can take a welded structure rather than a flat packed kit.
Key Benefits
- Continuous welded shell with no bolt line through the wall
- Suited to liquid and fine material that would find its way through a bolted joint
- Built from the same galvanized and structural steel supply chain as the bolted range
- Sized to the plot and the process rather than to a standard sheet pattern
- Supplied within the same project scope as the rest of the plant
Problems It Solves
- Bolted joints are not the right answer for liquids and very fine material
- Standard grain bins do not suit process storage duties
- Mixed suppliers for process tanks and grain storage complicate the project
- Sealing requirements that a corrugated shell cannot meet
Who It Is For
- Processing plants storing liquid raw material
- Feed and food plants handling fine powders
- Projects that already have a welded steel contractor on site
- Plants needing a sealed vessel rather than a grain bin
Application Scenarios
- Liquid material storage inside a processing plant
- Fine powder storage where a bolted joint would leak
- Process tanks integrated into a grain or feed plant
- Sites where the silo can be fabricated and erected without container shipping constraints
Technical Features
- Continuously welded shell rather than bolted corrugated rings
- Structural steel construction designed to the stored material and its density
- Access ladders and platforms fitted to the shell
- Roof and outlet arrangement designed per application
- Supplied inside the same design, fabrication and installation scope as bolted silos
Welding Type Silo for Liquid Material Storage 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.
| Construction | Welded steel shell |
|---|---|
| Typical duty | Liquid and fine material storage |
| Design basis | Stored material, density and site conditions |
| Fittings | Access ladder, platform, outlet arrangement per application |
| Scope | Design, fabrication, installation and commissioning |
How This Machine Is Built
Quality Control
- Shell design checked against the stored material density and duty
- Weld seams inspected during fabrication and erection
- Erection supervised by TITAN engineers
- Commissioning of mechanical and electrical equipment before handover
Materials And Wear Parts
- Structural steel plate
- Welded construction with site erected sections
Customisation Options
- Vessel dimensions set by the process requirement
- Outlet and connection arrangement per plant layout
- Access and platform design per site safety rules
- Integration with the conveying and handling around it
Use Guide
- State the stored material, density and temperature before design
- Confirm site access for welded sections and for the crane
- Plan the outlet and the downstream connection with the process layout
- Inspect welds and coatings on the agreed maintenance interval
How It Compares With The Alternatives
| Bolted corrugated silo | Continuous sealed wall for liquid and fine material, without the flat packed freight advantage. |
|---|---|
| Concrete tank | Fabricated steel structure rather than a long in situ civil programme. |
Welding Type Silo for Liquid Material Storage Questions
When should I choose a welded silo over a bolted one?
When the stored material is liquid or very fine, or when the duty needs a continuous sealed wall rather than a bolted corrugated shell.
Can it be shipped in containers?
Welded construction does not flat pack the way a bolted silo does, so shipping is planned per project and section size.
Is the silo part of a larger plant scope?
Yes. TITAN supplies it inside the same design, fabrication, installation and commissioning package as the rest of the equipment.
What information do you need to quote?
The stored material and its density, the required volume, the site dimensions and the outlet requirement.
Who erects it on site?
Erection is executed locally with TITAN supervision of the mechanical and electrical work.
