2, What’s the features of this hopper bottom silo?

1) The bottom of silo is made of steel hopper, and supported by H beam which is one of the most widely used steel ball in the design and production of steel structure recently, with high structure stability .

2) Hopper bottom steel silo are famous for its automatic discharging process. There is one steel cone on the bottom of the silo, so , the grain inside silos could unload automatically due to gravity, and very efficient, grain can flow out from the silo, without need power.

3)From long run, it can save your cost, it doesn’t need power. And because of this advantage, price is higher than flat bottom silo.
