Performance Features

Conical Hopper Discharge System

40°, 45°, 50°, 60° conical hopper angles accommodate diverse bulk material flow properties.
Gravity self-flow design enables fast, complete grain emptying.
Value-added Option: Custom automated discharge valves for high-efficiency automated grain lines.

Steel Support Frame & Cone Structural Strength

Heavy steel frame elevates silo above ground, fully isolating grain from ground moisture.
S350GD galvanized cone panels withstand continuous stress under frequent loading/unloading cycles.
Value-added Option: Custom steel support towers available on request.

Galvanized Silo Wall & Roof Structure

S350GD galvanized corrugated steel plates assembled with Grade 8.8 high-strength bolts.
CNC-punched galvanized roof plates with double-bending ribs deliver excellent rigidity and weather tightness.

Safety Access & Advanced Corrosion Protection

Safety cage ladders, roof inspection hatches and handrails provide safe routine inspection access.
Value-added Option: Z600 galvanizing or 310g/m² Mg-Al-Zn coating for coastal anti-corrosion.

FAQ

What hopper bottom angles are available and how do I choose the right one?

GSS provides hopper bottom angles of 40°, 45°, 50°, and 60°. Steeper angles like 50° or 60° are suited for high-moisture or poorly flowing materials, while 40° and 45° angles work ideal for free-flowing dry grains.

What is the primary operational advantage of a hopper tank over a flat bottom silo?

Hopper tanks are elevated on heavy steel frame structures, isolating grain from ground moisture while achieving complete self-flow gravity discharge.

What is the maximum size available for GSS Hopper Tanks?

GSS hopper tanks offer single-bin capacities up to 1,500 MT (1,855 m³) with a maximum bin diameter of 11 m (36.1 ft).
