Bentall Rowlands Silos

Bentall Rowlands Silos

Bentall Rowlands (Great Britain) offers a range of silos, which includes flat bottom silos and hopper silos, rectangular bins and equipment for grain conditioning..

The product line consists of:

*specified angles of slope are standard; On request, the angle of slope can be changed.

Smooth walls silos

• The surface of silo sheets is smooth, not corrugated. Wall fixing is carried out using hot-dip galvanized bolts of 8.8 class.
• This model can be delivered with hopper bottom (angle of slope is 45^o or 60^o) and flat bottom.
• When selecting the size of the discharge flange, the product flow rate and its parameters are taken into account.

Farm and track load silos

• The surface of silo sheets is smooth, with slight corrugation. Wall fixing is carried out using hot-dip galvanized bolts of 8.8 class.
  
• The angle of slope of this silo model is 45^о, 60^о and 66 ^о.
• The scope of delivery of farm silo with a diameter of 4 m includes inclined racks, which allows 4.5 m to travel, with a width of 3 m for unloading operations. It is optionally.

Bentall Rowlands offers the following components for silos:

Service platforms and ladders. All structures are equipped with fences and intermediate platforms, which allows providing safety for the personnel. In addition, non-slip steps can be provided as an option.

Ledge platforms. A folding ladder that moves away from the main working platform and provides access to the skylights.

Catwalks. The width of these structures can be from 1200 mm to 2000 mm, with a pitch of 200 mm. They correspond to the model range of conveyors. Platforms are equipped with a special grid to eliminate the possibility of tripping over a platform.

Expanding platforms. These sites are designed to increase the area of the working platform, which allows to increase the space for servicing conveyor equipment.

Supports and columns. To support the galleries, two types of supports are used: top and side. They are designed to transfer workload from workers, snow, etc. on vertical stiffeners, and then the weight is transferred to the ground. If the loads are higher, independent supports are offered.

Ventilation. This system includes various types of fans, the installation and the type of which depends on the needs of the client. The development and laying of ventilation ducts are carried out taking into account the requirements for airflow, and also relying on the selected unloading system (auger or chain conveyor, and the location of unloading systems).

Thermometry systems. The principle of this system is to read the indicators of digital sensors located inside the silo. The sensors are attached to the temperature cables, which are than attached to the silo roof. Thanks to the polymer coating on the cables, it is possible to almost completely eliminate the friction between the product and the cable. The tensile strength of cables is up to 10 tons. The range of the sensors is 2 m.

Sweep auger. It is used to unload loose products from silos with a flat bottom, which remained after unloading by gravity. There are two options for the delivery of equipment: when the motor is installed at the top or bottom of the auger. The capacity of the screw is from 25 to 300 tons per hour.

Gravity distributors of grain. The principle of this device is as follows: the grain enters the funnel and at the expense of the product flow pressure, the mechanism starts to rotate, which ensures uniform grain distribution throughout the silo.

Advantages of installing this equipment:

• Uniform distribution throughout the silo;
• The damage of grain as a consequence of its fall from height is prevented;
• Prevents the accumulation of small particles in the middle of the bulk;
• Improves the passage of air currents in the grain, since the fine particles are evenly distributed;
• Fast gasification of grain is ensured.

All the components are made of galvanized steel.
