Cement Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos
A cement silo from Bidragon is a steel silo for bulk cement storage at concrete batching plants. The product documentation describes a seamless silo for bulk material storage, fitted with a level sensing system that can show the material position and quantity, and combined with a screw conveying pump to move cement to the places where it is needed.
The documented structure includes a steel silo body, ladder, guardrail, feeding pipe, dust collector, pressure safety valve, high and low level sensors and a discharge valve. The top is fitted with an electric dust removal device and a pressure safety valve, and the bottom is fitted with an arch-breaking or aeration system to prevent bridging and to keep discharge running smoothly. Discharge is by screw conveyor at the lower part into a packing machine or bulk truck, or by a pneumatic conveying system. The silo body is a cylindrical steel welded structure, supported by concrete or steel frame legs, and described as rainproof and moisture-proof.

Applications
Cement silos serve concrete batching plants and cement handling sites. Discharge reliability matters more than headline capacity for cement, because bridging and moisture can stop a batching line, and the documented arch-breaking or aeration system and level sensing are part of that discussion.
How this product fits in a storage line
Industrial silos are normally planned around the material and the process, not around a generic capacity figure. Flow behaviour, dust, moisture, temperature and discharge reliability decide whether a given structure, bottom configuration and dust control arrangement will work, and the same nominal size can behave very differently with different materials. A buyer comparing industrial silos should therefore state the material, the handling rate and the downstream equipment in the inquiry, and should check which fittings, such as level sensors, dust collectors and discharge aids, are included in the proposal.
What to confirm in your inquiry
Because silo requirements depend on the material, the site and the handling system, the following items are confirmed per project before any quotation is issued. Sending these details with your inquiry helps the supplier respond with a workable proposal rather than a generic price.
- Material to be stored, including bulk density, moisture content and flow behaviour, and whether the material is free-flowing or prone to bridging.
- Required storage capacity and any future expansion allowance, together with the available footprint and height limit at the site.
- Discharge method and downstream equipment, such as a screw conveyor, a pneumatic conveying line or a packing machine.
- Roof and bottom configuration, including whether a flat bottom, hopper bottom or elevated arrangement suits the discharge and foundation plan.
- Ventilation, level measurement, temperature monitoring and dust control requirements, where the stored material or local rules call for them.
- Surface protection and coating requirements, the installation method available at the site, and the delivery scope expected from the supplier.
- Any applicable design standard or local code that the project must follow, so that the proposal can be checked against it.
Where a value is not listed on this page, it is not a standard figure for this product. It is a project-specific figure to be confirmed in writing during the inquiry process, and it should not be assumed from another product on this site.

Please note — capacity figures differ between sources. A category index summary states a figure beginning at 1000, with the upper end cut off in the source text, while a case index lists cement silo capacity grades of 500, 1000, 3000, 5000 and up to 10000 tonnes. This page does not merge those two sources into a single capacity table. Confirm the capacity grades available for your project in writing during the inquiry process.
