Grain Steel Silo Project in Guangxi: Two 185-cubic-meter rice silos and two 168-cubic-meter flour silos

October 27, 2026

Project Introduction:

Grain Steel Silo Project in Guangxi used a bulk bag storage method for raw materials. The raw materials had to be transferred from the first floor to the fourth floor by freight elevator, resulting in complicated operation procedures, high labor requirements, inefficient use of storage space, and low transfer efficiency. This traditional storage method was unable to fully meet the company's requirements for stable production.

To improve raw material storage and transfer conditions and optimize the utilization of factory space, the company implemented a raw material storage upgrading project, which was undertaken by Shelley. The project includes the construction of 2×185m³ rice silos, 2×168m³ rice flour silos, and supporting storage equipment.

After completion, the project will significantly reduce the occupied factory space, decrease manual labor required for raw material transfer, and realize automated storage and conveying of raw materials. It will improve the level of storage automation, simplify material handling processes, ensure a stable supply of production materials, reduce operating costs, and help the company improve production efficiency and overall competitiveness. Therefore, the project is highly necessary.

Project Workflow:

1. Rice Silos

The rice is conveyed by a drag conveyor into the bucket elevator, which lifts the material to the top of the silos. Through an electric three-way valve, the rice is distributed into two 185m³ rice silos.

The silos are equipped with ventilation systems and temperature monitoring devices, which can monitor changes in rice temperature and humidity in real time to ensure safe grain storage.

The bottom of the silos is equipped with drag conveyors, which transfer the rice to the rooftop through the bucket elevator. The rice is then conveyed by drag conveyors to the processing workshop.

2. Rice Flour Silos

The rice flour is conveyed by a drag conveyor into the bucket elevator, which lifts the material to the top of the silos. Through an electric three-way valve, the material is distributed into two 168m³ rice flour silos.

The silo roofs are equipped with dust collection devices, which can effectively reduce dust pollution and ensure safe storage of the material.

The bottom of the silos is equipped with drag conveyors, which transfer the rice flour to the rooftop through the bucket elevator. The rice flour is then conveyed by drag conveyors to the processing workshop.

Parameters of 2 Sets of TCZK04509 Hopper Bottom Steel Silos

3-The 2-TCZK04509 hopper bottom steel silos are mainly used for rice storage. They have the advantages of a high level of mechanization and long service life.

The TCZK04509 hopper bottom steel silo has a volume of 185m³, with a diameter of 4.5m, a cylindrical body height of 10.02m, and an overall height of 15.49m. The hopper cone angle is 25°.The silo roof is constructed with 1.0mm thick hot-dip galvanized steel panels, made of high-quality domestic galvanized steel sheets. The roof is equipped with natural ventilation openings, an access manhole, and a roof ladder.To ensure effective sealing and weather resistance, the silo roof adopts aviation-grade sealant and waterproof sealing gaskets. A safety guardrail is installed around the entire silo roof eave to ensure safe operation and maintenance.

The silo body panels are manufactured from high-quality hot-dip galvanized steel coils supplied by large-scale steel mills. The galvanizing coating weight is 275g/m² on both sides, ensuring a continuous, smooth, and uniform galvanized layer after processing. The corrugated silo sheets are manufactured with a punched-hole design.

The joints between silo sheets are sealed with aviation-grade waterproof sealant strips. The vertical stiffeners and silo wall panels are connected using high-strength customized anti-oxidation coated bolts with a special protective coating.

The hopper bottom structure mainly consists of hopper plates, ring beams, column bases, and tie rods. The hopper bottom surface is treated with protective painting

Parameters of 2 Sets of TCZK04508 Hopper Bottom Steel Silos

The 2-TCZK04508 hopper bottom steel silos are mainly used for rice flour storage. They feature a high level of mechanization and long service life.

Volume: 168m³ Diameter: 4.5m Silo body height: 8m Overall height: 14.79m, hopper angle: 60°, carbon steel with painting treatment.

The hopper bottom of the full steel hopper bottom steel silo is completely manufactured with steel structural components, which makes grain discharge easier. This solution offers high cost-effectiveness and added value. It not only reduces equipment investment costs but also lowers energy consumption during equipment operation. It can ensure safe grain storage while also facilitating future maintenance and servicing.

Delivery and Installation Services

This project was designed and manufactured by Shelley Grain Silo (TSE SILO) Factory and transported by logistics to the Guangxi Liuzhou Chuanxiangfang project site. Our company dispatched installation personnel to the project site to unload the equipment and complete the installation and commissioning of the project.

With the cooperation of both parties, the project was successfully installed and completed. The project received positive feedback from the customer, who highly praised our company and the engineers working on site.
