LEGAL RESEARCH ON BENEFITS OF SILOS
2
In large industries, a silo is a pit structure
used to store bulk commodities such as cement,
carbon black, woodchips, and so on. The silos
might be bunker silos, tower silos, or other
varieties depending on the bulk material they
carry. Engineers plan and build the silo
construction to ensure that it lasts as long as
possible.

FEATURES OF STORAGE SILOS
The silos can be used to store grain in
agriculture, plastic resins in chemical
industries, cement in cement factories, calcium
oxides in cement factories, and a variety of
other commodities like activated carbons in
cement factories. A cylinder with metal support
is the most typical silos geometry. The silos
can be rectangular or square in shape in
addition to being cylinder- shaped.

Wood, reinforced plastic, reinforced concrete,
or stainless steel are used to construct the
silos.
be kept, the environmental conditions, and the
site
The number of goods to
circumstances all influence the construction and
design of silos. For loading and unloading
commodities, silos include opening and shutting
provisions. To avoid any reaction with the
stored substance, the inside surface of the
silos is smoothed and lined with specific
coatings.

TYPES OF STORAGE SILO
1. Tower Silos Tower silos range in size from 4
to 48 metres in diameter and 3 to 40 metres in
height. Wood, steel, or concrete are used to
build tower silos. Tower silos are the most
prevalent type of silo. The unloading of cement,
woodchips, or grain from silos is made easier
with air slides or augers. Trucks, conveyor
belts, and rail cars can all be used to offload
them.

2. Bunker Silos
Tractors and loaders are used to fill and pack
bunker silos, which are trenches. Concrete walls
are used to construct bunker silos. To keep the
bunker silos airtight, a plastic cloth is placed
over them. The materials can be unloaded from
the bunker silos using a loader or tractor.
Bunker silos are used in agriculture and large
manufacturing companies to store massive
quantities of goods. The military is one of
the most important uses of bunker silos. To
store and manage missiles, the military uses
bunker silos.

3. Bag Silos Grain and fodder are stored in bag
silos. Plastic or hermetic bags or tubes are
used to construct it. Bag silos range in size
from 2 to 21 metres in diameter. The height of
the silo is determined by the amount of material
to be stored. One of the most cost-effective
silos is the bag silo.

SILOS ADVANTAGES

• Requires Lesser Ground Space
• Silos have a far lower footprint on land than
  other grain storage choices because they are
  vertical and relatively tall constructions. It
  avoids the need to invest money on land and
  hence is a preferable option. Even if the land
  is already available, it could be put to better
  use.
• Greater Control
• Grain storage that is centralized in one site
  allows for better management of environmental
  conditions. It allows the grain to be stored at
  a specific temperature while being free of
  insects and other pests, allowing the grain to
  remain in ideal condition for a longer period of
  time. Aeration in a properly sealed silo is also
  a simple and straightforward way to guarantee
  that pests are kept to a minimum.

3. Convenient Loading Depositing
Collecting and transporting grain to and from a
silo is also easier. Not only is there a
significant cost reduction, but it is also more
efficient when compared to other options. For
example, a low-cost grain vacuum/ auger allows
the grain to be filled/emptied quickly, lowering
expenses.
4. Reliable Longevity Ben Gaws Legal Department
advises a well- maintained, air-tight grain
silo, rice silo, Galavanized silo, paddy silo,
maize silo, Zincalume Silo are not only cost-
efficient, but it also lasts several decades,
lowering the effective costs of ownership.
During this time, it also provides perfect
conditions for grain storage. Many silos can
last for more than 25 years before they need to
be repaired.
