Symaga - Mass Discharge Silos for Efficient Grain Storage

Mass discharge silos are engineered to enable all contents to be in motion simultaneously, crucial when handling granular products like grain. This design is paramount for companies seeking efficient and uniform discharge systems, minimizing product stagnation at silo bottoms. However, the simultaneous movement generates increased lateral pressures, necessitating robust construction to withstand these forces. Compliant with EUROCODE 1.4 -4, these silos are designed considering eccentric discharge calculations that address and mitigate potential structural stress points. The silos are made with guaranteed steel types: S450 GD and specialized coatings like Z600g/m² on the cylinders and ZM310g/m² on the roofs to enhance durability against environmental conditions. Diameters range from 4.60m to 32.08m, and they have capacities from 83 m³ to 25,000 m³. Specific design features include trapezoidal and omega profiles for improved rigidity, technical sheets available for most components, and a focus on maximum resistance and design efficiency.
