Silo Types
According to different construction methods and storage capacity requirements, silos can be divided into welded steel silo, spiral steel silo, bolted steel silo, concrete silo and other types.
-
Concrete SiloConcrete silos are constructed with cast-in-place reinforced concrete structures, representing a traditional and mature silo type. -
Spiral Steel SiloSpiral silo refers to a silo constructed by spiraling the steel plate with a certain width into the rolling equipment during construction. -
Large Welded Steel SiloThe large welded steel silo, primarily constructed of steel, is a silo type independently developed in the continuous evolution of the national steel silo industry. It is suitable for storing bulk materials such as cement, clinker, and fly ash. -
Aluminum SiloIn fields such as the petrochemical industry, aluminum silos have become ideal choices for storing granular raw materials such as PVC, PE, PP, LDPE, and PET due to their corrosion resistance, light weight, sealing, and environmental protection. They have more advantages than traditional storage silo systems and can meet the needs of enterprises for the efficiency and sustainability of storage systems. -
Small Bolted Steel SiloSmall bolted steel silos are suitable for concrete mixing plants, small processing plants, small construction sites, and temporary works. -
Large Bolted Steel SiloA large bolted steel silo is a bulk material storage structure composed of steel plates assembled on site. All components are prefabricated in the factory and transported to the project site, where the entire structure is assembled through bolted connections.
INDUSTRY SOLUTION
-
Cement IndustryIn a cement line the silo is the buffer that lets the kiln and the packer run independently. Manxing designs raw-meal, clinker and cement silos with the right aeration and extraction so homogenization stays on spec and finished product flows straight to bulk truck or bag — no bottleneck at the dispatch point.

Thermal Power IndustryFly ash from coal combustion is light, abrasive and must never escape. Manxing builds sealed ash silos with positive-pressure conveying and dedusting at every transfer, so the material is handled automatically and the site stays inside emission limits.

Bulk Material StockyardBefore material reaches the process it is often staged in a yard. Manxing's enclosed stockyard solutions — long-span space frames with reclaiming and dust-suppression — protect the material from weather and the neighborhood from dust, while lifting usable storage density.
