Simeza invests to meet demands of steel silo industry
UTEBO, SPAIN - Simeza has planned a series of innovative
investments to comply with market requirements in the steel
silo industry.
The steel silo market is always moving to higher technical
specification, bigger dimensions, more reliable performance,
shorter delivery time and the highest degree of product
flexibility.
Simeza's planned activities include a new silo design. The
roof of the silos was completely redesigned in the main component
to prevent any welding operation, allow only bolted
assembly, limit the tolerance, increase the loading capacity
and allow for any potential finishing.
The range of alternative solutions was extended and now
includes the std assembly, the double skin insulated assembly,
the fumigation assembly, the color customized shape and the
fully stainless-steel bolting. A new static was worked out according
to the new design of the roof, by 3D FEM method for
all different snow and wind loads, and now a wide database is
available to react in real time to each individual inquiry.
The size and the layout of the supporting beams of the roof
was optimized to be adequate for all different snow and wind
loads and to allow easy packing, transport and assembly.
A new concept of static of the silos under seismic loads was
68
worked out to comply with the significant increase of the seismic
coefficient required in many countries.
Simeza has designed several accessories, which previously
were required only in special cases, to be manufactured by
automatic lines inside the factory.
These include various alternative aeration systems; alternative
structural and architectural solutions for hopper silos;
alternative solutions for grain ladders; bigger dimension/capacity
hopper silos; and alternative solutions for conveyor
bridges and stairs.
To implement the above-mentioned strategy, Simeza invested
in its manufacturing lines. The profiling line for corrugated
steel and vertical stiffeners was upgraded in terms of speed,
thickness and tensile of the steel with fully automatic operation
and control of the dimension of each item.
A new continuous decoiling and cutting line was installed
allowing Simeza to purchase all coil steel with the same zinc
finishing and quality for all components.
Other upgrades included installation of a fully automatic
punching and cutting line for bended components and roof
panels that is integrated with a robotized bending line.
The factory can now manufacture up to 1,500 tonnes of
steel silo components per month.
