Silo is a container used to store materials. Most of the silos on the market are cylindrical. Their structures include silo top, silo cone, silo cylinder, support, nozzle and flange, ladder platform, etc. part. Silos are widely made of metal materials, including stainless steel silos, aluminum alloy silos, etc., which are suitable for petroleum, chemical, chemical fiber, grain, construction and other industries.
Due to their large size and heavy weight, as well as the limitations of transportation conditions, large silos are mostly prefabricated in sections or pieces at the manufacturing unit and then transported to the work site for assembly. Some are also prefabricated and assembled directly at the work site. Aluminum alloy silos generally use 5052 aluminum plates, 5083 aluminum plates, etc. The main alloy element is magnesium, which has good corrosion resistance, excellent weldability, good cold workability, and medium strength.
The surface of aluminum plates used in aluminum alloy silos must be clean, flat, and free of scratches and other defects. During transportation and production, aluminum materials must avoid contact with other metals to avoid scratches or marks on the surface. The parts should be strictly protected during production. The surface is not damaged.
Alloy status: h112
Thickness range: 4-30mm
Width range: 500-2500mm
Aluminum has excellent physical and mechanical properties, including low density, high strength, high thermal conductivity, high electrical conductivity, and strong corrosion resistance. In recent years, aluminum alloy materials are increasingly used in the petrochemical industry and have gradually become the main materials for silos, chemical storage tanks, and cryogenic vessels, attracting much attention in the industry.
Mingtai Aluminum supplies 5052 aluminum plates/5083 aluminum plates for large silos. The company has advanced hot rolling mills to meet the production of ultra-wide aluminum plates, with an extra width of 2500mm, which can reduce the number of welding times in later use.
