Technical requirements for steel silo production?

Steel silo is made of steel plate storage equipment, its advantages are small footprint, large capacity, light weight, low cost, high degree of mechanization and automation, good sealing, fire and moisture anti-theft performance and environmental protection and energy saving. The production of steel silo is a project with very high technical requirements, and must follow a series of strict technical specifications. The following is the production process of steel silo involved in the selection of materials, structural design, production process and quality control and other key aspects of the detailed description.

First, the choice of materials: lay a solid foundation

In the production process of steel silo, material selection is the first and vital steps. In order to ensure the durability and anticorrosion properties of the silo, we should use high-quality steel, such as Q235 or Q345. At the same time, different thicknesses of steel silo need to be carefully selected according to the specific use of the environment and the required function. For example, in the more corrosive environment, we should use galvanized or sprayed and other anticorrosive treatment of steel plate; and in the load-bearing capacity of the occasion has higher requirements, should be selected with a greater thickness of steel plate.

Second, structural design: to ensure stability and safety

Structural design is a key link in the production of steel silo, which is directly related to the stability, safety and performance of the silo. In the structural design, we should focus on the following aspects:

• Foundation design: According to the geological survey report and the load requirements of the silo, we should carry out accurate foundation design and calculation to ensure that the connection between the silo and the foundation is both firm and reliable.
• Load-bearing capacity design: according to the load and process requirements of the silo, carry out load-bearing capacity calculations, and choose suitable steel and structural forms, so as to ensure the strength and stability of the silo.
• Anti-corrosion design: According to the use of environment and process requirements, we carry out careful anti-corrosion design. We can use internal and external coating, hot dip galvanizing and other anti-corrosion methods to improve the corrosion resistance of the silo.
• Ventilation design: According to the characteristics of the stored materials, scientific ventilation design is carried out to ensure smooth air circulation in the silo, so as to reduce the temperature and humidity of the stored materials, and effectively prevent the occurrence of mold and rotting phenomenon.
• Manhole and access port design: According to the use of demand and operational convenience, the location and number of manholes and access ports are reasonably set to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the equipment.

Third, the production process: keep improving, the pursuit of excellence

In the production process of steel silo, the production process is also crucial. We should follow the following process requirements to ensure the production quality:

• Undercutting: Advanced CNC cutting machine or plasma cutting machine is used for steel plate undercutting to ensure the cutting quality and precision. Meanwhile, the cutting edges are meticulously polished and treated to remove burrs and welding slag.
• Welding: Choose appropriate welding methods and process parameters to ensure welding quality and weld strength. For critical parts and welds with large stress, we should also carry out non-destructive testing and strength test to further verify their quality.
• Assembly: According to the design drawings and technical requirements, the steel plate is accurately assembled into the structure of the silo. During the assembly process, we should ensure the positional accuracy and relative angle accuracy of each component.
• Anti-corrosion treatment: carry out internal and external coating anti-corrosion treatment for the completed assembled silo. The coating should be uniform, continuous and free of bubbles and peeling. At the same time, we should also repair and deal with the defects generated during the welding and assembly process in time.
• Inspection and test: In the process of making steel silo, we should carry out strict inspection and test on the key parts and the parts with large force to ensure that their quality and performance meet the design requirements. After completing the production, we should also carry out comprehensive inspection and test for the whole silo, including appearance test, size test, strength test and sealing performance test.

Fourth, quality control: strict control to ensure quality

In the production process of steel silo, quality control is an important link to ensure the quality and safety of production. We should establish a sound quality management system and technical standards, and carry out strict quality control and supervision for each production link. At the same time, we should also strengthen staff training and education to improve the skill level and quality awareness of operators. The finalized steel silo should meet the relevant standards and design requirements to ensure its safety, reliability and excellent performance.
