Steel plate warehouse is a kind of large-scale warehousing facilities for storing various materials, the following is the relevant knowledge about steel plate warehouse:
Definition and classification：
- Definition: warehouse is a steel plate as the main material, after a special process of processing and production of storage containers, with a large storage capacity, short construction period, long service life and other characteristics.
- Classification.
- Classification by shape: there are mainly round steel silo and square silo. Round steel silo force uniformity, good structural stability; square silo can be flexibly arranged according to the shape of the site and the use of demand, high space utilization rate.
- Classification according to the production process: can be divided into spiral nibble steel plate warehouse and welded steel plate warehouse. Spiral nibble steel plate warehouse adopts spiral crimping process, good sealing of the warehouse body; welded steel plate warehouse is assembled by welding process of steel plate, high strength.
Structural composition：
- The roof of the silo: generally adopts the spherical shell roof or conical roof, which plays the role of rainproof, sunproof and sealing. The dome roof has uniform force and stable structure; the conical roof facilitates drainage and is suitable for some occasions with high waterproof requirements.
- Warehouse wall: it is the main load bearing part of steel plate warehouse, which is made of several steel plates spliced together. The thickness of the wall is designed according to the height, diameter and nature of the stored materials to ensure the strength and stability of the silo.
- Warehouse bottom: there are two forms of flat bottom and cone bottom. Flat-bottomed silo is convenient for cleaning and conveying equipment arrangement, suitable for storing materials with good fluidity; conical-bottomed silo is conducive to self-flowing material discharge, commonly used for storing granular or powdery materials.
Features：
- High strength: steel plate has high strength and toughness, can withstand greater pressure and load, can build large-capacity storage facilities.
- Good sealing: Both spiral nibbling and welding process can ensure good sealing of the silo body, effectively preventing moisture, deterioration and leakage of materials.
- Short construction cycle: the components of the steel plate warehouse can be prefabricated in the factory and then assembled on site, the construction speed is fast, which can greatly shorten the construction cycle.
- Long service life: under normal use conditions, the service life of steel plate silo with anti-corrosion treatment can reach more than 20 years.
- Reusable: after dismantling the steel plate warehouse, the steel can be recycled and reused, which has high environmental value and economic benefits.
Application areas：
- Grain silo: Used for storing various grain crops such as wheat, corn, rice, etc., it can provide a safe and stable storage environment for grain and ensure the quality and safety of grain.
- Cement silo: steel plate silos are commonly used in cement factories to store cement, which can effectively prevent cement from moisture caking and ensure the performance and quality of cement.
- Coal storage: in coal mines, power plants and other places, steel plate silos can be used to store coal, to facilitate the centralized management and transportation of coal.
- Other fields: It can also be used in chemical industry, harbor, feed and other industries to store all kinds of powdery, granular and lumpy materials.
Maintenance and Management：
- Regular inspection: Regularly inspect the steel plate silo's silo body, silo roof, silo doors, vents and other parts to find and deal with the rusting, weld cracking, aging of seals and other problems of the steel plate in time.
- Cleanliness and hygiene: keep the warehouse clean, regularly clean up the accumulation of materials on the warehouse wall and the bottom of the warehouse to prevent the materials from caking and mold.
- Moisture-proof and rain-proof: Check the sealing condition of the silo roof and the silo door, repair the broken seals in time, and prevent rainwater from entering the silo.
- Ventilation: according to the nature of the stored materials, set up a reasonable ventilation system, regular ventilation to regulate the temperature and humidity of the warehouse.
