Elevated Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos

An elevated silo from Bidragon is a grain elevator silo presented for small grain storage and for large commercial operations. The product documentation states that it is suitable for feed, beans, corn, rice, wheat and cement storage and grain processing, and that it can also be used as a warehouse, especially for grain storage.

The documented advantages, in the company's own terms, include pest elimination, no chemical residue, no pest resistance risk, customisation, no internal stiffeners, mobility and easy installation, low cost, a service life of more than 30 years, easy maintenance and a simple design. Those claims are reported here as company statements. The documented capacity range and the service-life figure are given in the specification table below.

Applications

Elevated silos serve grain elevators, farms and commercial grain operations where discharge height and gravity flow matter. The documented capacity range is specific to grain elevator silos on this page and should not be read as a general figure for all silos on this site.

How this product fits in a storage line

Storage silos are normally planned around the foundation, the discharge method and the handling line. A flat bottom needs full support from a prepared ground surface, a hopper bottom is chosen where complete emptying matters, and an elevated arrangement is chosen where gravity discharge height matters. A buyer comparing storage silos should therefore settle the foundation plan, the discharge arrangement and the connection to conveyors or packing equipment at the same time as the silo size, because those decisions affect each other.

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.
