Grain Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos
A grain silo from Bidragon is a steel silo for the long-term storage of bulk grain, including wheat, corn, paddy rice, soybeans, sunflower seeds, sorghum, barley and peanuts. The product documentation describes double-sided galvanized steel, a weather-resistant construction, and a system built around a silo roof, silo body, silo bottom and auxiliary parts.
The grain silo is presented as part of a storage system rather than as a bare tank. The documented supporting systems include pre-cleaning, drying, level and temperature measurement and ventilation, together with a temperature measurement system, a DCS controller, level gauges and infeed and outfeed systems. The product documentation states that the Lipp system is used and describes its stability in the company's own terms.

- Roof, body, bottom and auxiliary parts as one system

Applications
Grain silos are used for bulk grain at farms, grain terminals and processing plants. The product documentation lists wheat, corn, paddy rice, soybeans, sunflower seeds, sorghum, barley and peanuts, and processing sites including poultry feed plants, port storage, breweries, biscuit plants, oil plants, flour mills and alcohol plants. Capacity, diameter and discharge arrangements are confirmed per project, because grain type, moisture and throughput change the workable configuration.
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.

Please note — conflicting figures on the source page. The product page itself gives two different design-life figures (30–50 years in one section, 25 years in another) and two different diameter ranges (2.7–25 metres and 3–25 metres). This page reports both figures as they appear and does not choose one of them. Confirm the applicable figure for your project in writing during the inquiry process.
