Futtersilos

The Star silos are made of galvanised corrugated steel sheets. The design guarantees an optimal condition for the storage of your feed. All seams are double bolted, using bolts with plastified bolt heads to prevent corrosion.

The galvanic surface reflects the sun, preventing heat radiation and condensation in case of big temperature fluctuations. Herewith the feed remains fresh and its composition unchanged. A viewer window in the lower ring or cone allows easy inspection.

Filling of the silos can be done either pneumatically or mechanically. In case of mechanical filling a rigid filling auger is used. A special hatchlifter will be supplied to allow easy opening of the led on the top of the silo. The filling auger will transport the feed from groundlevel to the hatch opening and drop it into the silo. Once filled, the hatchlifter closes the lid, sealing the silo perfectly.

In case of pneumatical filling, the feed is blown into the silo directly from the bulk-truck. The silo is provided with a special filling and exhaust tube. Thanks to the unique design of the pneumatic filling-system feed-separation is prevented and the storage capacity of the silo optimally used.

An optional sidewall ladder and safety cage can also be delivered in all of our silos.

A filling auger with a metal tube of Ø 102 mm can be supplied with supports or wheels. In the latter case, the filling auger can be moved and used for filling silos on various locations.

An electronic silo weighing system can be supplied to control feed weighing; please check the special brochure for the system.
