We use steel with a yield strength ranging from 450 MPa for wall rings and for stiffeners. Silos Córdoba is the first silo manufacturer to use Z-600 galvanised steel as its manufacturing standard. This coating contains 600 gr/m2 of Zinc and is equivalent to a thickness of 42 micras per side which makes it longer-lasting even in the most aggressive of atmospheres (as established in Standard ISO 9223). Our high yield strength stiffeners made in galvanised steel improve the weight of the silo which makes easier assembly and optimises the silo behaviour against the action of external agents. The...

Silos Cordoba offers an innovative metal coating, ProMag, with a new aluminium + magnesium + zinc alloy to provide protection in the most demanding environments and gives the material a longer service life.It offers excellent corrosion resistance, up to 10 times more than galvanised steel and nearly 5 times more than Z-600 galvanised steel (600gr/m2). Environmentally-friendly, it uses less zinc than pure zinc coatings so it is the most profitable alternative for the post-galvanisation process. Rate of corrosion in different atmospheres Nowadays, the two most used standards worldwide to calculate...

For storage plants in extreme weather zones, we have roof protection systems that prevent the entrance of snow into the silo through the chimneys as well as any accumulation in susceptible areas. All of our silos feature protective elements to prevent birds from entering. All of the means of access and maintenance on our silos have been designed for user safety and ergonomics and are designed pursuant to standard UNE-EN ISO 14122-2.

Metal silos In today’s world, where population growth is a solid fact, where food quality standards are continuously becoming higher and where healthy living and eating is becoming more and more widespread, the use of new technologies in accordance with the evolution of the population’s needs and food safety needs is necessary. The conservation of any type of grain in galvanised silos complies with these requirements as this technology makes it possible to control all of the necessary aspects to be considered in order to maintain quality: the level of impurities, grain moisture level, storage...

Our silos with a cylindrical body and 30º sloped roof are designed to store grains, seeds and pelletized products. Silos Córdoba engineering team designs its silos pursuant to various standards in order to adapt to its customers’ needs including European EUROCODE and US ANSI standards. Technical details for metal silos Wall rings Silos Córdoba works with a wide range of wall ring thicknesses. We also have pre-lacquered sheet metal with different finishes. As an option, a layer of baked paint can be applied for large thicknesses. Stiffeners The minimum galvanization of our stiffeners is Z-600....

are designed to be safe and ergonomic. Designed according to UNE-EN ISO 14122-2 standard and manufactured in highly-resistant galvanised steel, they offer the best solution for silo inspection and maintenance silos. Roofs Silos Cordoba has evolved with the designs of its roofs by developing Z-profile structures with higher bearing capacities so they can now withstand mechanised transport with a performance of up to 1,500 T/h.

Silos Cordoba roof vents guarantee proper silo ventilation and the meticulous design prevents the entrance of water even in the most adverse of conditions. They may also be supplied with an anti-snow kit. For easier visual control of the silo and the material stored inside, inspection holes are included on the roof which, due to the quick-close system and easy access from the stairs, are an important handling tool. Wind-Ring allows silo to maintain its cylindrical shape without any effect from wind loads which offers rigidity and safety. They may be installed on the roof or on the wall ring depending...

Flat bottom silos Our silos, either flat or hopper bottom, are used for extended storage of large quantities of grain, seeds and granulate products Our range of concrete base silos cover capacities ranging from 83 m3 to 45,055 m3 and with diameters from 4.58 m to 41.25 m. Flat bottom silos

Flat bottom silo accessories Bobcat door opening is ideal for high-capacity silos which are unloaded using light Bobcat machinery so the product residual slope is emptied. It is made with a rigid frame featuring pillars that transmit the loads to the ground and horizontal reinforcements. Ventilation For proper grain conditioning and conservation, among other reasons, we recommend ventilation system for every type of silo with any capacity and for all types of grain. The necessary ventilation system is determined for each system following a technical study of the system and considering the type...

Our lateral unloading system means a truck can be loaded directly from the silo without the need of additional machinery. It includes a manual drive discharge gate. The inner silo staircase makes easy access to the silo for maintenance tasks and visual analysis of the product. The roof staircase complies with our clients’ most demanding expectations combining accessibility, safety and comfort for comprehensive plant maintenance. The spiral staircase is a perimeter staircase specially designed for easier access to the silo in a comfortable and safe way. Enables easy maintenance. Flat bottom silos...
