Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document serves as a general catalogue for Spain Silos, a company specializing in grain storage systems. It highlights the acquisition of assets from GRUPO SILOS by URBAS, focusing on expertise in sustainable solutions and maintaining grain quality.
Why Silos Spain
Silos Spain utilizes high-strength steel and an innovative metal coating called ProMag, which provides superior corrosion resistance and environmental benefits. The silos are designed according to European EUROCODE and US ANSI standards, with EUROCODE offering more robust designs.
Metal Silos
Metal silos are designed for storing grains, seeds, and pelletized products. They feature cylindrical bodies with 30º sloped roofs and comply with various international standards. Key features include wall rings of varying thicknesses, stiffeners with Z-600 galvanization, and ergonomic access stairs.
Flat Bottom Silos
These silos include accessories like Bobcat door openings for easy unloading and ventilation systems tailored to specific grain types and environmental conditions. They also feature sweep augers and lateral unloading systems for efficient grain handling.
Hopper Silos
Hopper silos are designed for grains and products requiring special storage conditions, offering economic savings and simplified foundation work. They come in various capacities and feature hot-dip galvanized support structures. Technical details include cones with slopes of 45º and 60º for efficient unloading.
Truck/Train Load Silos
These silos are designed for bulk product storage and dispatch, with options for different configurations and capacities. They feature rigid support structures and can be customized with maintenance platforms and weighing systems.
Metal Silo Accessories
Accessories include level sensors, temperature control systems, fumigation systems, and insulation options to enhance product conservation and safety during maintenance.
Insulation and Temperature Control
The document discusses the importance of managing temperature within silos to prevent condensation, which can damage both the stored product and the silo structure. It recommends using double sheet insulation with materials like polyurethane foam or fibreglass wool, particularly for roofs, wall rings, and cones.
Ventilation Systems
Ventilation is crucial for grain conditioning and conservation. The document outlines the need for a tailored ventilation system based on a technical study considering grain type, environmental conditions, and silo dimensions. It highlights the use of axial and centrifugal fans, especially in tropical climates, to manage humidity and temperature.
Customized Structures and Uses
The document details various structural components designed to support silo operations, including catwalks, cap supports, lateral supports, rest platforms, and support towers. These structures are modular and designed to facilitate maintenance and mechanization, adhering to safety standards like UNE-EN ISO 14122.
Contact Information
The document provides contact details for Silos Spain, including their office and manufacturing plant locations, email, and phone numbers.

We use high-strength steel ranging from 350 MPa for ferrules up to 600 MPa for reinforcements, with an innovative metal coating called ProMag. In the manufacturing of our silos, we exclusively employ sheet metal with the cutting-edge ProMag metal coating. This revolutionary alloy of aluminum, magnesium and zinc provides exceptional protection in the harshest conditions while extending the material's lifespan. ProMag boasts excellent corrosion resistance, over 10 times superior to galvanized steel and more than 5 times better than Z-600 galvanized steel (600g/m2), according to ISO 9223 standards....
