Storage and Dispatching Technology KEPLER WEBER SILOS GUARANTEE A SAFE GRAIN STORAGE WITH MORE QUALITY AND PROFIT. The best solutions in flat and hopper bottom steel silos and dispatch hoppers. A guarantee of the best preservation and of the grain’s end quality. Your harvest achieving maximum return of your investment.

safety regulations, meeting main global standards. Steel Silos Operational Safety: in compliance with existing legislations, guaranteeing a safe operation. Complete line: models that fit into each requirement, including high capacity silos. Grain quality: system that allows low product breakage, through ideal conditions of conservation and storage. New structural concept: improvement in equipment's service life and mechanical resistance. Global series: adjustment to the dimensioning, design and FLAT BOTTOM SILOS Flat Bottom Silos have as one of its main features the low cost per stored ton,...

Storage and Dispatching Technology Flat Bottom Silos Besides the differences in the structural concept, which provide gains in grain quality, and the constructive standards that comply with existing legislation and guarantee operational safety, Kepler Weber´s flat bottom silos further allow: • Wide range of storage capacities, models varying in size from 24 to 156 feet. • Vertical increase in the number of rings, optimizing the physical space of the facility. • Agility on reception and dispatching processes (three stiffeners per sidewall sheet and the new structure of the roof allowing...

Starting at a 42' diameter, silos have three stiffeners per sidewall sheet, allowing a better configuration for vertical loadings. This new distribution provides the silo a higher structural safety, for having heavy-duty capacity to support outside demands. Designed for guaranteeing buckling resistance to strong winds up to 144 km/h (90 miles/h) with a 3-second duration, considering 10-meter height from the ground. SIDEWALL SHEETS High strength galvanized steel in a corrugated design. A 450 g/ m2-zinc coating (higher than G140) with 99% purity assures a long-term service life. A structure...

Storage and Dispatching Technology Technical Details New assembly DOUBLE SEALING BOLTS bolt with inside out assembly three caulking mass threads FIXING BOLTS AND NUTS Bolts and nuts are ISO 8.8 strength classified and treated through a dichromate coated process, granting anti-corrosive protection. These fixing elements bring double sealing and are assembled from the inside out, thereby preventing the accumulation of product inside the silo. Exclusive sealing system on the silo’s body, guaranteeing a stronger barrier against water penetration, better aeration efficiency (lower energy...

Storage and Dispatching Technology Hopper Bottom Silos Hopper bottom silos can be used for temporary storage during reception or drying as a buffer regulating the product flow and optimizing the equipment’s efficiency. They can also be used as dispatch silos to load trucks and wagons. The cylindrical shape and the outside stiffeners’ assembly project a clean design to all this line of product. This feature also provides reinforcement to winds up to 120 km/h (75 miles/h). All silo models were calculated and designed based on main national and international regulations. The storage capacities...

Storage and Dispatching TechnologyTECHNICAL DETAILS SIDEWALL SHEETS (Silo's Body) As in the flat bottom silos, the sidewall sheets are made with high strength galvanized steel, with the same corrugation design and a 450 g/m2-zinc coating with 99% purity. STIFFENERS Manufactured in high strength galvanized steel, the stiffeners provide expressive structural strength. Some silo models feature overlapping stiffeners, providing increased strength. Hoppers' funnels are made of high resistant zinc-coated steel in a 45-degree slope, and 60- degree slope to attend no-easy flow products. All...

Storage and Dispatching TechnologyTECHNICAL DETAILS LADDERS (External and Internal) The ladders were designed in accordance with safety regulations and requirements. The external ladders have resting platforms, safebody and standard dimensions. Internal ladders are equipped with safety cables. ACCESS DOORS 12' up to 30' diameter models are equipped with standard access doors, located on the silo's body, providing easy access when entering inside. The door's body is made of a narrower sidewall sheet assembled with two complimentary ones, so to ease entering, exiting and inspecting the silos...

Storage and Dispatching Technology OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES FLAT BOTTOM SILO’S AERATION SYSTEM HOPPER BOTTOM SILO’S AERATION SYSTEM AERATION SYSTEM THERMOMETRY SYSTEM Ambient air is blown across the grain mass, responsible for keeping the product quality during the storage period. Aeration benefits are: Cables with temperature sensors measure the grain mass temperature at different levels. The thermometry and aeration systems may be connected to provide automation in the in the controlling of grain storage conditions. • Temperature uniformization in grain mass; • Reduction or maintenance of the...

Storage and Dispatching Technology OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ROOF EDGE PROTECTION SWEEP AUGER GRAIN SPREADER Upon request silos can be equipped with a roof edge protection, providing even more safety when accessing the roof during the maintenance procedures. This device removes the remaining grain after the gravitational unloading process. This device makes possible homogenous product loading, reducing the concentration of impurities and broken grain in the center of the silo, improving the air flow during aeration. Two models are available: motorized or kinetic. OPTIONAL ACCESS DOORS Upon...
