Feed Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos
A feed silo from Bidragon covers three categories described on the product page: agricultural feed silos, chemical feed silos and water feed silos. Agricultural feed silos store animal feed and grain, and the feed can be discharged by opening a valve into trucks or other transport equipment. The product documentation states that agricultural silos are generally steel or stainless steel, chosen for strength and long-term storage.
Chemical feed silos are described for the storage of chemicals in applications such as water treatment, with chlorine storage given as an example; the product documentation states that these are generally polyethylene, because a metal silo may react with the chemicals. Water feed silos are described for liquid storage in systems, with steam power plants given as a common application. The three categories are different products, and the material and configuration for one category must not be assumed for another.
Key features
- Agricultural feed silos: generally steel or stainless steel
- Chemical feed silos: generally polyethylene
- Water feed silos: for liquid storage systems
- Valve discharge into trucks or other transport equipment (agricultural type)

Applications
Feed silos serve animal feed operations, chemical dosing and water systems, depending on the category. Because the three categories use different materials and serve different media, the inquiry should state the medium, the chemical compatibility requirement and the discharge arrangement from the outset.
How this product fits in a storage line
Agricultural silos are normally planned as part of a handling line, not as isolated tanks. Infeed, cleaning, drying, ventilation, level measurement and outfeed all affect the workable result, and the choice of roof, bottom and discharge arrangement depends on the grain or feed, the throughput and the site layout. A buyer comparing agricultural silos should therefore ask how each of those systems is supplied, whether it is included in the proposal or provided separately, and how the silo connects to existing handling equipment. Those questions are part of the inquiry process for every agricultural silo on this site.
What to confirm in your inquiry
Because silo requirements depend on the material, the site and the handling system, the following items are confirmed per project before any quotation is issued. Sending these details with your inquiry helps the supplier respond with a workable proposal rather than a generic price.
- Material to be stored, including bulk density, moisture content and flow behaviour, and whether the material is free-flowing or prone to bridging.
- Required storage capacity and any future expansion allowance, together with the available footprint and height limit at the site.
- Discharge method and downstream equipment, such as a screw conveyor, a pneumatic conveying line or a packing machine.
- Roof and bottom configuration, including whether a flat bottom, hopper bottom or elevated arrangement suits the discharge and foundation plan.
- Ventilation, level measurement, temperature monitoring and dust control requirements, where the stored material or local rules call for them.
- Surface protection and coating requirements, the installation method available at the site, and the delivery scope expected from the supplier.
- Any applicable design standard or local code that the project must follow, so that the proposal can be checked against it.
Where a value is not listed on this page, it is not a standard figure for this product. It is a project-specific figure to be confirmed in writing during the inquiry process, and it should not be assumed from another product on this site.
