MW Tank flat bottom steel grain silos have large
diameter and capacity and are easily installed because of the
portability of the bolted steel tank design.
Our grain silos have easy loading/unloading capabilities and
can utilize concrete conical bottom for automatic flow unloading.
Flat bottom steel grain silos can be widely used for the
following purposes:
- Grain Storage
- Oil Storage
- Feed Storage
- Flour Storage
- Starch Storage
- Brew or Port Storage
- Seed Storage
Our grain silos feature a radial beam supported
roof, vents, manhole, roof ladders, secure cages, handrails, and
more. Our grain silo bins are made from bolted steel and allow for
swelling tension.
We offer both bolted grain silos and welded grain silos for the
storage of process food products. Relative to carbon steel
construction, specialized FDA approved coatings are applied in a
controlled environment and “baked-on” to the silos substrate
surface. MW Tanks processes stainless steel and aluminum
fabrication on a separate alloy line to prevent contamination of
dissimilar metals. Typical food grade weld profiles are available as
“smooth not flush”, “flush” and “flush and polished” to
meet your requirements. All alloy construction is chemically washed
internally for stored product protection and externally as well for
aesthetic appearance prior to shipment.
Larger volume applications routinely specify smoothwall bolted grain
silos. Designed and customized per your requirements,
