Silo construction is a sector in which the designers of silos not only have to take into account the stored product and product characteristics; also the environmental factors of the exact location, such as wind load, the risk of earthquakes and local regulations must be taken into account. All of these aspects are important in the selection of the type of construction, the material, the wall thickness, the dimensions and the type of segments. Builders of silos often manufacture the segments for the silos in their own production facilities. From there the segments are transported by freight lorry or sea container to the end customer. At the construction site, the flanges at the segments are built together, after which the inside of the silo is hermetically sealed off by welding the seams. Orfa Visser is a supplier that likes to think along with you at an early stage, to investigate the possibilities within the processing technologies that we offer.
