Advantages of FRP silos compared to conventionally used silos:
- Corrosion resistance – GFRP silos are resistant to corrosion resultant from sea water, chemicals, oil, gas, heat, UV rays and extreme environmental conditions.
- Space saving – When it comes to agricultural grain storage, warehouses serve as another option for storage. Nevertheless, this is where silos save much more space by being vertically positioned.
- Zero waste of stored product – Vertical placement of silos means that it is easy to unload the stored product and there is no product waste resultant from lack of internal compartments, shelves, etc.
- Internal temperature, moisture and pressure – FRP silos are built with an internal management system in mind. As a result, all requirements tied to agricultural and oil&gas industry storage are not only followed but also eased, given better primary characteristics of GFRP silo behaviour.
- Sustainability – The end product of our composite silo production lines aids the sustainability in construction, turning the industry towards a more eco friendly solution.
- Durability / Lightweight – High strength makes fiberglass silos resistant to vibration and other internal and external forces applied to the silo. GFRP silos are lightweight as compared to ductile iron, mild steel and HDPE silos. Light weight ensures easy handling, transportation and installation. These qualities make FRP silos much more durable, reliable and economical than conventional silos.
- Inflammation resistance – Unlike its iron counterparts, GFRP silos do not explode and do not catch nor sustain fire.
- Customization options – Suitable for practically every industrial requirement possible.
- Lack of contamination – FRP silos do not rust and therefore carry zero affect to the stored liquids, regardless whether it is water, liquid gas or chemicals.
- Minimal maintenance and repair – Long life expectancy eliminates additional costs ties to repairs.
- Pressure resistance – The high stiffness and high compressive load capacity of FRP silos prevent bursting pressure fluctuations.
- Hydraulic efficiency– GFRP silos have a smooth internal surface which aids excellent hydraulic characteristics and high flow capacity and low friction.
