• Eliminates deliver problems - avoids special delivery regulations and no issues with damage due to transportation and lifting.
• Stronger construction.
• Safer construction.
• Faster construction times.
• Many different construction material grades available for corrosion, erosion and abrasion resistance.

Bulk Handling Global is pleased to announce Australian representation for B.S.P. Engineering - Spiralled bulk storage silos and liquid storage tanks.

Spiralled bulk storage silos and liquid storage tanks are built on site using a special roll form machine that rolls coil material into storage silos and liquids tanks of diameters between 2.7m and 25m, and heights up to 40.0m. Bulk storage silos and liquid storage tanks can be manufactured with either flat bottom, or with converging wall hoppers.

Save on transport costs, site installation costs and reduce silo and tank manufacture time.

Silo and tank construction including bolting, welding and rusting of materials are eliminated using the “LIPP” roll form.

Benefits:-

The patented “LIPP” roll form machine develops a special profile, which provides stronger bulk storage silo and liquid storage tank construction using lighter material thicknesses, compared to conventional bulk storage silo and liquid storage tank design. This allows construction of large storage silos and liquids tanks without the limitations of flat panel (or corrugated iron) design.

Bolts are not needed for silo or tank construction. The need for external hoop straps and stiffeners is eliminated. This eliminates the potential of rusting around bolt holes, and any protrusions into the silo, that can impede product flow

The silo construction is developed on site, with minimal need for any welding.

The inside walls of the silo are smooth, which avoids stagnation of product and dust, and minimises the potential of mould and insect manifestation.

Gas tight and water tight silo construction. Easily accommodates any fumigation, product preservation or conditioning requirements.

Wide range of silo construction materials - including mild steel, stainless steel, galvanised steel, and dual metallic alloys such as Verinpx, Inox and Platinox.

An important quality criterion for the construction of tanks for liquids with regard to the nature of the liquids is the choice of the optimum material for corrosion and erosion resistance. So for instance, municipal, industrial wastewater and sludge or finished products of the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry make special demands of the material used for the tank. Particularly interesting is a material named “Verinox”. The tank construction material is combination of galvanised steel (outside the tank) and stainless steel (inside the tank). This kind of steel allows stocking any kind of liquid with regard to a favourable cost-benefit ratio. Verinox is also used for the storage of aggressive substances.

Surface treatment if desired can be applied during the construction stage - without the fear of damage during transportation or installation. The silo construction at ground level, makes surface treatment more manageable without delays (and potential damage due to rolling of silos), and a better quality finish is possible.

The following picture shows the constructive phases of standard metallic Spiralled storage silos and liquid storage tanks:-

Detail of the constructive phases:

Phase 1: After securing in place the circular frame, a coil of sheet metal is placed on a un-winder.

Phase 2: One end of the steel coil is introduced in the profiling unit, which bends it in accordance with the desired silo diameter.(Minimum. 2,7 meters and maximum 25 meters).

Phase 3: The lower edge of the first strap winding, which will be the upper part of silo or tank cylinder, is crimped together with the upper edge of the next winding without interruption until the desired height is reached.

Phase 4 & 5:When part of the wall is erected; the silo roof is erected from round level. (If foreseen, outlets, filtrating systems, piping, etc. are also installed).

Phase 6:Then the winding up operation is started again and the silo grows itself, up to the desired height.
When the assembly is finished, the silo machine turns in the opposite direction and thus puts the bin down on the ground, where it is embedded in position.

Phase 7 & 8:Erection of eventual unloading metallic hoppers, or handling equipments.

This technique offers the advantage of enabling convenient locating of a silo, in accordance with the available installation place, between existing constructions, with a minimum loss of useful surface. Completion of the assembly is effected very quickly and all the work is done at ground level: no scaffolding, no hazardous jobs.
