Overview

The PETKUS Profile Wall Silo (PWS) is a modern, efficient silo system designed for storing grain, corn, pellets, and other granular or free-flowing bulk materials. It features a modular, compact, and fully bolted design suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, with high corrosion resistance due to its galvanized steel construction.

Specifications

• Axial Dimensions: Wall units available in lengths from 2,000 mm to 4,000 mm in 250 mm increments.
• Construction: Modular silo cells made of screwed-together wall elements; cell corners form hollow supports filled with concrete after installation.
• Standard Equipment: Galvanized sheet steel model, cell outlet hopper with spot outlet, substructure including frame, ladders, and operating platforms.
• Options: Engine house, stainless steel model, outlet variations including slot outlet or multi-hopper.

Design and Installation

The silo cells can be arranged in rows (battery) or blocks with varying heights and capacities. The modular design allows integration into steel structures. The outlet hopper is screwed and designed for efficient discharge.

Construction Details

• Wall sheets are connected using countersunk head screws (M8 x 25-8.8).
• Concrete filling is used to reinforce hollow corner supports after assembly.
• Structural components include posts, bracing, silo ceiling, and silo footings designed for single, double, or four-cell configurations.
• Additional structural elements include wind bracing and frames for stability.

Components and Features

• Four-time, double, and single silo cell configurations.
• Bracing and posts for structural integrity.
• Steel roof construction with complete external cladding.
• Optional machine house and foundations for operational equipment.

Advantages and Best Practices

• Compact, modular, and fully bolted design facilitates easy assembly and flexibility in layout.
• Galvanized steel ensures high corrosion protection, extending silo lifespan.
• Concrete-filled hollow supports provide enhanced structural strength.
