BSP Engineering spiralled silo systems

BSP Engineering spiralled silo systems use a rolled Lipp form construction and, as no welding is required, typical common welded silo problems such as weld fatigue, quality issues, rusting and delivery (damage, avoids special permit and delivery curfew) issues are avoided.

The silos and storage tanks are constructed from coil material using special roll forming machinery, and are formed ground up, on site.

Bulk Global Handling has in-house bulk solids and powder flow properties testing capability which can be carried out in laboratory or on site.

The Lipp formation of the silo provides greater strength than standard plate or corrugated iron construction. The storage systems can store minerals, grains, powders and liquids.

The diameters of silos and bulk liquids tanks range from 2.7 to 25 m. Height of dry bulk storage silos can be up to 35 m. Capacities available range in the order of 3790 m³ dry bulk storage, and 4 ML liquids storage.

The materials used in construction can range from mild steel, galvanised steel and stainless steel, to combat aggressive environments. Also available are special alloys and dual plate materials such as Inox and Platinox.

The spiralled silos can have either flat-bottomed or conical hoppers. The high strength construction accommodates any process requirements such as fumigation, air and water tight, blending, heating and cooling. Projects include grain storage, cement silo storage, minerals, and food products.
