Slag Storage Silo – High-Quality Steel Silo for Slag Powder

Why Choose a Steel Silo for Slag Powder Storage?

Slag powder is a by-product of steel plants and mineral processing and is an important additive in the cement, concrete and construction industries. Proper storage is essential to maintain its quality and requires airtightness, structural durability and optimized aeration systems for smooth unloading.

AGC’s slag silos are constructed from high-grade, double-sided galvanized steel sheet to ensure long-term corrosion and moisture resistance. Our steel silos (also known as Lipp silos) utilize spiral folding technology to provide unmatched strength and reliability for slag powder storage.

Customizable Slag Silo Designs for Every Need

1. Foundation options

• Steel foundation – for smaller slag silos (up to 1,500 ton capacity).
• Concrete foundations – for small and large silos (up to 15,000 tons).

2. Bottom Discharge Systems

• Conical Hopper Bottom – Ideal for silos up to 2,000 tons with vibrators and aeration boxes to prevent clogging and ensure smooth discharge.
• Flat bottom with reversing cone – reduces pressure during discharge and prevents powder from flowing directly into the aeration box. Larger silos can be equipped with multiple reversing cones to increase efficiency.

Key Advantages of AGC’s Slag Storage Silos

• Cost-effective solution – Our steel silos can reduce total cost of ownership by 30%-50% compared to reinforced concrete silos, while maintaining superior quality.
• Wide range of sizes – capacities ranging from 50 to 15,000 tons and diameters from 3 to 30 meters ensure a fit for any facility.
• Superior moisture and corrosion resistance – Our silos are constructed from high quality galvanized steel to prevent rust and leakage, even in wet environments. Reinforced spiral edges provide protection up to 5 times thicker than standard silo walls.
