Grain Silo Corrugated Sheet Roll Forming Machine

Silo Features

1. The silo constructed with the steel silo making machine has optimal overall performance and long lifespan. The seaming thickness is 5 times the thickness of the base material. Apart from the strengthened load carrying capacity, the silo has the advantage of good stability and long lifespan over other products.
2. Optimal sealing performance and wide applications. Our cold roll forming machine line provides seaming with good airtightness. It helps prevent the granular and powdery grain stored being influenced by the humidity outside the silo. In addition, the silo constructed can satisfy the technological requirement for disinfection or fumigation. The application for storing liquid is also available.
3. Short construction period and low construction cost. It only takes about 5 days to construct the 1000 ton silo with our cold roll forming line. The silo weight is just one-sixth that of the cement silo. Therefore, the silo construction cost is reduced, accordingly.
4. Small land occupation, good adaptability, and easy maintenance. The height and diameter of the spiral steel silo are selectable within a large range. The space between the silos can be less than 50m.

Steel Silo Roll Forming Machine

A steel silo is a structure for storaging bulk materials. Steel Silos are used in agriculture to store grain or fermented feed known as silage.
Our Company have a whole range of roll forming machines for Steel Silo. Such as Grain Steel Silo Corrugated Wall Panel Roll Forming Machine, Steel Silo Post Roll Forming Machine.
 

The cold roll forming machine line is specially offered for constructing spiral steel silo. The steel coil is decoiled to deliver the steel plate to the forming machine. Then the steel plate will be processed into the shape required. Subsequently, the bending machine is employed for bending and plate edge processing, to form a spiral strip with the width from 30-40mm. The spiral strip produced by the grain silo forming equipment is used to strengthen the silo structure. The silo roof is assembled on ground, requiring no scaffold or other auxiliary equipment, The cold roll forming line operated at the speed of 3-5m per minute, resulting in a short construction period.

Is it easy to store grain in steel silos?

Steel silo is a new popular grain storage equipment in recent years. Of course, there are many styles of grain steel silo, which can be divided into corrugated plate device steel silo, spiral undercut steel silo and welded steel silo. The most commonly used is the corrugated plate assembly type, the spiral undercut type is second, and the welded type is less. There is no such thing as a better one here, it can only be said that each has its own advantage. Take the welded steel silo as an example, its steel plate is thicker and stronger. Therefore, it can be built higher and using life longer. So normally, coastal ports generally use welded steel plates, which are not easily corroded by salt in the air.
Here we focus on the corrugated prefabricated steel silo, which not only has a low cost of building a warehouse, but also a fast warehouse building. The biggest advantage is that it is easy for moving. The corrugated plate assembly steel silo can be demolished to another place without destroying the original steel silo, which greatly saves the time cost and economic cost of the relocation.
Six advantages of roll forming machine for fabricated corrugated steel silo

1. The roll forming machine of the assembled corrugated steel silo is simple to dismantle and repair, and the damaged parts of the plate can be replaced.
2. The level of standardization is high, and standard parts can be made according to Chinese market materials, to realize standardized and universal serialized production, which can be arbitrarily combined into various warehouse types required by users.
3. The cost is low, and the service life is appropriate. The service life can reach more than 30 years.
4. The corrugated steel silo roll forming machine is easy to realize automation. The steel silo is equipped with supporting equipment, which can be configured according to the requirements of usage purpose.
5. Assembled corrugated steel silo roll forming machine has light weight and low consumables, so the basic cost is reduced.
6. The assembly is simple and quick. All parts of the steel silo (metal granary, grain vertical silo) are connected by bolts, which can be installed quickly and the construction period is short.

How to improve the stability of roll forming machine for fabricated corrugated steel silo?

In the process of making steel silo materials, it is necessary to select professional equipment to complete the material processing and production process. Therefore, after the introduction our fabricated corrugated steel silo roll forming machine, it has been well recognized by many users because this equipment is good for operation. The medium efficiency is very stable and reliable, and it can also effectively increase the output. Now plenty of manufacturers using this equipment to complete the production operation is increasing. In order to ensure the quality of steel silo materials produced by the equipment, the roll forming machine working stability must be effectively improved.

Observing the operation of the corrugated steel silo forming machine during the production period, the problem often occurs is: during the process of putting the raw materials into the equipment for processing, the material cannot be formed smoothly in the equipment due to the rolling of the material . Therefore, there will be deviations when the material is rolled. The surface of some materials will be relatively flat, while some materials cannot meet the processing requirements. So in order to avoid such a situation, the staff must pay attention to whether the roller set has been adjusted to the appropriate position before processing, and whether the selected corrugated steel material meets the processing standards, and steel coil can only be put into production after the above inspections are done. Considering the uneven thickness of the plates, we have deliberately increased the motors and rollers during the production of the equipment to ensure that the power of the equipment is sufficient.
Before using the fabricated corrugated steel silo roll forming machine, check whether there are any unused items placed on the un-coiler. Only the steel coils that need to be used can be placed in the equipment un-coiler, and other sundries must be timely clean up to avoid affecting the progress of the processing process during processing. You need to pay attention to these operability issues when using the equipment to ensure safety. 

Maintenance method of corrugated steel silo roll forming machine

Corrugated steel silo roll forming machine has the advantages of long working life, high efficiency, covered small area, environmental protection, low energy consumption. Whole producing line combines with PLC control system, hydraulic system, it can roll forming corrugated shape well, punching holes and cut at correctly position, all actions have been finished integratedly.

So how to maintenance the corrugated steel silo roll forming machine well?

 When the machine is off duty more than several days:

1. Lubricate all forming rollers well for anti-rust, also lubricated the punching die and cutting blades well.
2. Switch off all the power supply for safety.
3. Check the hydraulic tank each half year, if the oil is dirty, change new oil.

Take plastic film or cloth to cover whole roll forming line well for keeping clean.

 

When the machine is producing:

1. We should check the raw material thickness is under roll forming line’s producing range or not.
2. Adjust the roll forming rollers’ span to suitable position, then start to roll forming.
3. Check the cutting blades and punching pin, if it is not sharp enough, take them off to sharpen again.
4. If there is any shape destroy on steel silo profile sample, let professional worker to find out the reason and solve step by step.
