ous use, extreme temperatures, strong winds, heavy snowfall,
and seismic loads. To comply with the significant increase in the
structural coefficient required in many countries, SIMEZA has
developed a new concept of silo statics under seismic loads. The
company also has developed new statics that are in line with the
new roof design, using the 3D FEM method for different snow
and wind loads.
" SIMEZA silos are designed in a modular way, which means
that they can be assembled quickly and easily, " Celeghini said.
" In addition, the high-quality standards present in the materials
used in their construction make them highly resistant in all types
of environments, guaranteeing the long-lasting preservation of all
types of grain. "
Major investment in new technology
García said the company has made a significant investment effort,
focusing its efforts on new software systems and machinery
to meet the needs of the market, modernizing, and automating
the manufacturing processes of the sheets, roofs, and
reinforcements that make up the silos, with the acquisition of
cutting-edge technology for cutting, perforating, and bending
of metal sheets.
" Recently we have acquired a complete cutting line, which allows
us to be self-sufficient throughout the process, " Garcia said.
" All of this, together with management software and analysis of
each manufacturing process, allows us to spectacularly optimize
costs and manufacturing times, resulting in better prices for the
customer without reducing the quality of the final product. "
With the implementation of this new technology, SIMEZA is
now able to guarantee the production of more than 2,000 tonnes
of silo steel components per month.
Additionally, among the innovations that have been implemented,
and through this new software, it is possible to determine
the temperature and grain level stored in each silo. With this data,
the process of ventilation and/or filling/emptying of the silos can
be automated, which allows for greater efficiency and minimizes
losses as much as possible.
" Our technical team is continuously looking for areas of improvement
in the statics, optimizing each of its components to
offer, at a better price, a greater stability, durability, and added
value to the stored grain, without compromising the quality of the
product, " García said.
Partnering with world-leading companies
The steel silo market increasingly demands technical specifications,
dimensions, performance, and flexibility of products
to meet customer demands. SIMEZA is currently immersed
in an ambitious process of international expansion
to offer its products and services to customers worldwide.
To achieve this, the company is working hard to form new
partnerships with world-leading companies in the field of
grain and seed storage, distribution, and processing, positioning
it as one of the companies with the greatest growth
potential in the near future.
Celeghini said that nowadays SIMEZA focuses on companies
SIMEZA silos have a storage capacity of 8 to 25,000 cubic meters.
involved in the import and export of grains, manufacturers of
machinery within grain and seed storage and processing plants,
as well as investors in large grain terminals, whether on land or
at ports, in the context of international trade. These investors require
silos with more rigorous specifications than agricultural
plants and a design concept that allows high performance, reliability,
and ease of operation of the installation. This customer
profile is one of SIMEZA's new targets, leading the company to
invest in human resources, especially in technical and commercial
profiles, to adequately meet all their needs.
" Today, at SIMEZA we have installations produced in dozens
of countries across the five continents, including Africa, the
Middle East, Russia, South America, Eastern Europe, and East
Asia, among many other territories, " Celeghini said. " We have
consolidated ourselves as one of the leaders in the grain storage
industry thanks to our focus on quality, innovation, and customization,
which has allowed us to meet the needs of demanding
clients worldwide. "
It is crucial to bear in mind that silos are grain storage containers
that require proper installation and maintenance to avoid potential
situations that could ruin the harvest. Therefore, it is essential
for farmers to avoid common mistakes when acquiring grain
storage systems, such as making decisions based exclusively on
the purchase price or thinking that an installation that works well
in one location can work just as well in another, without considering
the specific factors of each place.
" The experience demonstrated over the years together with
a strong commitment to excellence, make SIMEZA silos synonymous
of a quality product and today our team and our customers
can be proud to show our work all over the world, "
Celeghini said.
