What is A Flat Bottom Silo?

Flat bottom silo, is also called flat bottom bins or farm silo. It is designed for agricultural, industrial, commercial, and strategic applications such as large farms, inland storage facilities, grain terminals, and grain-based factories such as flour mills, feed mills, rice mills, oil mills, and biofuel facilities. They can be used for short and long-term storage of grains, corn, soybeans, rice, oilseeds, and any other granular free-flowing material.

Our silo sheet of the drum wall is made of high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel. Our grain bins are also equipped with a scraper, belt conveyor storage system, cleaning and removing impurities, magnetic separation and iron removal, temperature measurement system, ventilation system, material change warehouse, and many other functions.
