SPIRAL ALUMINUM SILOS
WEATHER-TIGHT
BULK STORAGE
WITH NO
MAINTENANCE
Structurally tough. Contamination-free. Conair’s aluminum silos
are designed to match the rigidity of a steel structure. Unlike a
steel structure this silo requires no external painting or internal
epoxy coating. In fact, no routine maintenance is needed inside
or out.
Aluminum silos keep your expensive material in pristine condition, free from contamination due to rust or flaking. The silo
is guaranteed to be water-tight.
ALL-ALUM INUM A ND R O L L F O R M E D
The Conair spiral silo is manufactured, literally, from the top down. A
coil of 0.120 gauge sheet aluminum
is fed into a circular roll forming machine. The forming machine rotates
and joins the edges into an airtight fit
which is double crimped under extreme pressure, to form what
amounts to a one piece structure.
The spiral silo is available in either an
11 foot 6 inch diameter, pre-formed
at the factory and shipped ready to
erect in one day, or in 14 foot 8 inch
formed right at your plant. Storage
capacities range from 1,818 to 8,917
cubic feet.
Conair installation crews can set or
build the silo on the customer poured
pad, connect all accessories and install the unloading and conveying
system to get you up and running.

Superior quality construction
High quality, non-ferrous aluminum silos are a practical solution for contamination-free storing of expensive pelletized or powdered plastic materials.
n
Three cone configurations
Cone configuration is determined by material type. Silos formed for pellet storage usually have a 45º cone bottom. For powder and hard-to-flow materials the
silo includes a 60º cone. A 45º/70º compound cone is used for PET materials.
n
Customized to fit your needs
Options include a safety cage and rest platform for silos over 30 feet, a ladder
and a slide gate shut-off which is pre-drilled to accept an optional Conair distribution box.
n
Many standard features
Included as standard are: a prefabricated roof with access hatch, roof vent,
perimeter guard rail with safety toe board and railing. Also, a vacuum receiver
mounting flange, truck-fill nipple, high and low level indicator mounts, mounting
flange for the slide gate shut-off and a fully enclosed weather-proof vented silo
skirt with a louvered access door is included. If two or more silos are purchased
at once, a four foot (span) crossover walkway is provided.
