Wheat Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos

A wheat silo from Bidragon is a steel silo for wheat storage, installed on site by the supplier's installation personnel. The product documentation describes a space-saving and time-saving assembly system, a range of sizes, and two supply options: a complete solution or individual items with optional accessories.

Wheat storage places particular demands on protection from moisture and pests and on orderly infeed and outfeed, and the product documentation presents the wheat silo as a long-term storage structure within the agricultural silo range. The general diameter and height ranges published for spiral silos are not repeated here as wheat-silo figures, because the wheat silo page itself does not state them.

Specifications

Values in this table come from the product documentation for this product only. Where a value is not listed, it is marked as to be confirmed in inquiry, and it must not be taken from another product on this site.

Applications

Wheat silos serve farms, grain terminals, flour mills and other wheat handling sites. The choice between a complete solution and individual items with accessories depends on what handling, ventilation and measurement equipment already exists at the site, and that scope is settled during the inquiry process.

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.
