Why Choose Aluminum Silos for Industrial Storage?
Aluminum silos offer the strength of steel construction without the need for external painting or internal epoxy coating. Unlike traditional steel silos, aluminum silos require minimal maintenance and are a cost-effective solution for long-term storage. Aluminum silos offer excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight construction and airtight sealing, making them ideal for storing granular raw materials such as PVC, PE, PP, LDPE and PET in industries such as petrochemicals, plastics and food processing.
High-performance materials and industrial applications
Premium Aluminum Alloy Construction
Our aluminum silos are made from the Al-Mg-Si series of alloys, a high-strength aluminum-magnesium-silicon composite material that offers the following benefits
- Excellent corrosion resistance – for harsh chemical environments.
- Lightweight and durable – easier to install and relocate than steel silos.
- Excellent weldability and formability – ensures airtight construction and structural integrity.
- Thermally conductive – helps maintain a stable internal temperature and prevents moisture buildup.
Wide range of industrial applications
AGC’s aluminum silos are trusted in a number of applications, including
- Petrochemical industry – Safe storage of PVC, PE and PP resins.
- Plastics processing – hygienic, contamination-free storage of PET and LDPE.
- Food and fertilizer production – non-reactive aluminum ensures product quality.
Customized options are available:
- Capacities: from small (a few tons) to large industrial silos (hundreds of tons).
- Design: Flat-bottom or conical-bottom configurations for efficient material unloading.
Key Benefits of AGC Aluminum Silos
1. Unmatched corrosion resistance
Unlike steel silos, aluminum silos are naturally resistant to rust and chemical degradation, reducing long-term maintenance costs.
2. Light weight and easy installation
Aluminum’s lower density allows for faster assembly and relocation, minimizing downtime.
3. Advanced sealing technology
Precision welded seams and airtight seals prevent moisture ingress and ensure material purity.
4. Environmentally friendly and sustainable
Aluminum is 100% recyclable, supporting green manufacturing initiatives.
5. Lower Lifetime Costs
No painting or coating required – saves on maintenance costs.
Energy efficient thermal performance – reduces temperature fluctuations and energy consumption.
Aluminum Silos vs. Steel Silos
