VDL Agrotech supplies silos with a wide range of
storage capacities. For each case a suitable silo is
available, guaranteeing optimum storage.
- Silos built of galvanised steel corrugated sheets
- All connections between sheets are double bolted with corrosion
resistant fastening material
- The galvanised sheets reflect sunlight, thus preventing heat build up in the silo and consequently condensation due to big temperature differences
- Silos standard equipped with inspection window
- Inspection hatch, ladder and safety cage available as option
Pneumatic filling
The silos are filled by a bulktruck equipped with pneumatic filling system.
For this purpose the silo is equipped with a special steel filling pipe and a pvc de-aeriation pipe. The system has been designed to prevent feed de-mixing during filling and to fill the silo to the maximum level.
Mechanic filling
The silo is equipped with a remote opening mechanism for opening and closing of the silo roof lid. For mechanic filling VDL offers a rigid auger filling system, optionally available with movable support for multiple silo use.
Pneumatic-mechanic filling
Pneumatic-mechanic filling combines the advantages of both filling systems.
