Selecting the correct storage solution is essential to maintaining the grain’s quality and operational productivity needs. As an expert in the industry, NewTech Steel offers versatile grain storage and specialist in different types of silos on the market that are characterized by technological advancements and reliability. Our silos are designed to solve diverse storage challenges and situations while upholding quality and performance parameters.
Understanding Modern Silo for Grain Storage Solution
The contemporary practice of agriculture requires storage spaces which can be modifiable to suit the diversified storage requirements of the grains. To meet this need, New Tech Steel has a range of silos where advanced technology and engineering principles are combined to create better storage. The range includes, but not limited to, hopper bottom silos for temporary storage and flat bottom silos for bulk storage, which will serve the changing trends in agriculture, among others. All the resources are manufactured using the finest steel and state of the art technology for all the construction of the silos to enhance durability and reliability of all the silo types.
Hopper Bottom Silos
Hopper bottom bins are the finest creations in the art of dependable storage systems. They are newer and newer products for seed storing and even for temporary storing of wet grain in the units for drying plants. The basic liners range in size from 25 MT to 500 MT and present a mathematical ratio wherein the diameter is between 2.72 meters to 8.16 meters and 10 rings in
height. Due to the 45-degree standard hoper angle, the flowage of the bulk material deposits is quite easy and design alteration of the bins is possible taking into consideration the demands of storage mode even though this angle is standard. These silos are fairly straightforward in design as there is a single hole at the bottom to allow for easy dispensing of any of the materials stored in the silos.
Flat Bottom Silos
Our flat bottom silos are great engineering for storage-intensive applications. While a great recommendation for grain storage above 500 MT, they have impressive capacities ranging from 1000 to 12500 MT. The diameters range from 9 meters to 30 meters with the maximum height of the silos being 18 rings. What makes these silos stand out is their superb construction: corrugated panels are built cylindrically on circular purlins and vertical stiffeners, fastened with high-grade bolts and nuts to heavy concrete rings. These rings sit on deep civil foundations built on-site, promising the best stability and longevity.
High-Tech Features
and Engineering Construction
Corrugated Steel Technology
Our silos use the latest corrugated steel technology which offers an excellent structural strength and stability. The unique profile of corrugation not only increases aesthetics but provides additional strength. This design optimises the space while resisting maximum frictional forces provided by the environment; therefore, our silos are suitable for use in various environmental conditions.
Bolting Excellence
Bolted construction is an excellent embodiment of strength and flexibility. The silo can be rapidly assembled onsite without sacrificing structural integrity. All the parts are precisely engineered for perfectly suited alignment without any voids, and therefore, a timeless storage solution.

Silos for Grain Storage Maintenance Essential Guide
Properly maintained grain storage silos ensure long-term performance and protect your valuable grain inventory. New Tech Steel recommends adopting a comprehensive maintenance approach that focuses on preventive care and regular monitoring, thereby maximizing the effectiveness and lifespan of your silo.
Silo Regular Inspection Protocol
Begin with systematic visual inspections of your silo’s exterior and interior surfaces, to look for any signs of wear, rust, or damage to the steel panels. Special attention is needed to seals around doors, hatches, and connection points as these are predisposed to moisture infiltration. Inspect the foundation for any cracks or settling issues that can affect the silo’s structural integrity.
Moisture Management
Moisture control is highly important when storing grains. Monitor the whole ventilation systems and aeration fans so that there will always be a good airflow to the grain storages. Clean and maintain the ventilation ports because blockages may cause moisture accumulation. Run aeration fans even if it is humid to maintain optimum moisture levels and prevent grain spoilage.
Cleaning and Sanitation
Implement a thorough cleaning schedule between grain loads. Remove all grain residue from the silo’s walls, floor, and corners to prevent pest infestation and mold growth. Clean grain handling equipment, including augers and conveyors, to maintain hygiene standards. Consider professional cleaning services for hard-to-reach areas and thorough sanitization.
Temperature Monitoring
Regular temperature monitoring is essential for early detection of potential issues. Check temperature cables and sensors monthly to ensure they’re functioning correctly. Address any unusual temperature variations promptly, as these could indicate moisture problems or grain spoilage. Keep detailed records of temperature readings for trend analysis.
Preventive Actions
Schedule maintenance checks before the new harvest season. All the moving parts such as door hinges and unloading mechanisms will have to be greased. All bolts and fasteners will be checked, especially in places exposed to temperature changes that may cause expansion and contraction. Faulty seals or gaskets must be inspected and replaced to ensure air-tightness in the silo.
Following these maintenance guidelines, you can significantly extend the life of your New Tech Steel silo while ensuring optimal grain storage conditions. Remember, regular maintenance is more cost-effective than dealing with major repairs or grain quality issues later.
