LEGAL RESEARCH 
ON  BENEFITS OF 
SILOS
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 
TShe IsLilosO canS 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.
The number of goods be kept,
ttohe  environmental conditions, and the
csitrecumstances 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 
1. ToweSr SIiLloOs
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 
1.Requires Lesser Ground Space
Silos have a far lower footprinAt oDn laVndA thaNn TothAer GES
 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.
2.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.
