Rectangular steel silo as dam wall and smooth wall silo

Our silos are used for the storage and handling of a wide variety of bulk goods, but especially from the agricultural and food sectors. The ingma steel silo system is the result of our many years of activity and development in the field.

With our systems, prefabricated silo elements are designed as single-walled dam walls or double-walled smooth walls with the same corner connections for both types. This gives the advantage of using different elements together.

The components are used to create cells and bunkers with an angular floor plan at any cell height.

Dam wall cells with a base area of ​​up to 3.20 x 3.20 m (system size) are designed in an anchorless design, while cells with larger floor plans are provided with reinforcement anchors. Smooth wall silos can be designed up to approx. 4.00 x 4.00 m without anchors, depending on the product properties. Due to the angular construction, the base area is fully utilized.

The dead weight of the silo elements is low in relation to the cell space formed, especially in comparison to the solid construction. This enables a cost-saving execution of the foundation.

This also gives rise to installation and assembly options in and on existing buildings. The cells constructed from the silo components are dimensioned and verified statically according to Eurocode 3. They absorb loads from roof structures and attached machine houses and the like. The cell walls are weatherproof and do not require any additional cladding if this is not desired or required for other reasons.
