3. TECHNOLOGY – Product development approach
3. TECHNOLOGY - Materials
SiloMaster has engineered the wall sheets, roof and stiffners focusing on durability,
robustness and light weight.
Steel grade: S450GD high strength steel as per norm EN 10346, this is over the usual
market standard. The choice lowers the weight of the silos and brings advantage in logistics,
erection and on site handling.
Galvanisation: Z600 (Similar to G210, according US Norms). The coating choice offers an
increased service life.

3. TECHNOLOGY - Engineering
The parts are designed in 3D, calculated analytically and verified structurally with finite
elements analisys (FEA).
The applicable engineering norms being:
• EN 1990 Basis of Structural design
• EN 1993 Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures
• Part 1.1. General rules and rules for buildings (EN 1993-1-1:2005)
• Part 1.3. Cold formed thin gauge members and sheeting (EN 1993-1-3:2006)
• Part 1.5. Plated structural elements (EN 1993-1-5:2006)
• Part 1.8. Design of joints (EN 1993-1-8:2005)
• Part 4-1. Silos (EN 1998-4:2006)

3. TECHNOLOGY - Project inputs
SiloMaster considers local norms for the
assessment of snow loads and seismic loads.

3. TECHNOLOGY - Roofs
SiloMaster silos feature a roofs pitch of 30 which
provides integrity while maintaining low overall heights
for conveyors, elevators and related handling
equipment.
The 30° roof slope also matches the natural angle of
repose for stored material to alleviate silo overfill and
resultant roof damage.
Silo Master roof construction provides unrivalled
strength on commercial silo roofs. All silos, through to
16 meters diameter, have a ONE-PIECE roof panel.
Silos up to 32 meter diameter, feature a two-stage roof.
3. TECHNOLOGY – Wall sheets
SiloMaster provides a wide corrugation profile of 106
mm pitch for only 13 mm profile depth, with a workable
height of 1.166 mm and useful length of 3.140 mm.
Thickness: From 1 mm to 4 mm. If structural calculation
requires higher thickness laminated sheets will be
provided.
Silo wall sheets can admit 2, 3 or 4 stiffeners, which
will depend on each single calculation.
Wind-rings will be installed where required by a specific
calculation, to avoid bending of the silo walls,
especially when the silo es empty, and standing nearby
others.
3. TECHNOLOGY – Stiffeners
SiloMaster vertical stiffeners, assure the best stability
for the silo. The profile is an open “OMEGA”, profile.
Thickness: From 1.5 mm to 6 mm, in pre-galvanised
steel. SiloMaster will avoid using hot dip galvanization
process for stiffeners.
The section of the stiffeners has been designed to
optimize the mechanical resistance effective area.
Additionally, its shape, helps to prepare stable pilings,
to reduce the freight volume (less freight cost) and the
necessary space on site.
To fix the silo to the foundation reinforced anchor plates
are supplied to assist levelling of the silo and to ensure
a perfect transmission of vertical loads to the
foundation.
