With a heartbreaking figure of 10% of total foodgrain yield getting wasted in India due to inadequate storage infrastructure, it’s high time that we reconsider using conventional storage methods like gunny bags, concrete structures and MS storage structures. The wastage is mainly caused due to moisture affecting the grainsand extreme temperature variation resulting infungus formation and minimal handling of food grains.

Fowler Westrup offers the ideal solution with world-class Galvanized Silo Storage Systems - the best and safest storage & grain handling systems with grain management that provide a new-age answer for the same age-old problems. The Silos are engineered using the best materials and proven technology for optimum temperature and humidity control. They retain the quality of stored grains for a longer duration while reducing wastage as well as manpower costs. Fowler Westrup Provides Single Window end to end Complete Project Management right from collecting requirement from customers, Design, Engineering, Manufacturing, Erection and Commissioning & Life cycle support.

Fowler Westrup hopper bottom bins / silos are an efficient and space saving solution for your grain storage. They are designed to allow for complete clean-out and can be customized to meet your specific needs with a wide range of optional features.

Hopper Bottom Silos are conically shaped with metallic 45 and 60 cones. With capacities ranging from 1 to 1,500 tonnes, they reduce commodity damage by simplifying civil work and eliminating the need for sweep augers. They offer a thoroughly clean and maintenance-free system since the supporting structures of these silos are made of bolted construction and are hot dipped galvanized after manufacture or painted. This silo enables 100% discharge of the stored grain due to gravity. They are more suitable for online day production. These silos are equipped with accessories like level switches, aeration system, temperature monitoring device and discharge gates etc.

Benefits of Silo System

• Scientific method of storage i.e. bulk storage
• No wastage of gunny bags due to bulk grain storage
• Requires less space app (1/4) compared to godown storage of same capacity
• Mechanized handling with automation requires no manpower hence handling cost is less
• No spillage, no wastage due to rodents, insects, birds etc.
• Quality of the stored grain maintained by aeration system along with temperature monitoring device
• Compatible for fumigation - Optional

Features

• 8.8 quality dichromate bolts and nuts are used
• Neoprene washers to ensure waterproof seal
• All silo components are galvanized regardless of thickness that provide excellent anti-corrosion qualities
• Hot dip galvanized legs support structure with ring beam
• Capable of storing any flowable commodity such as grains, seeds, feed, plastic pellets and certain material supplements
• Designed for seismic and high wind conditions
