THE APPLICATION FIELD OF STEEL SPIRAL-FOLD SILOS

Abstract

The design of steel spiral-fold silos is considered. The area of application of spiral-fold structures is analyzed and described: silos for various types of bulk materials; tanks for storing various liquids, digesters as part of bioenergy plants. Application of spiral-fold silos (foreign and domestic experience) is analyzed. The technical characteristics of capacities depending on their functional purpose are collected. In addition to the traditional use of spiral-fold silos, examples of special applications of spiral-fold structures in Ukraine are considered. In the conditions of martial law, spiral-fold structures have proved to be perspective for the arrangement of mobile modular tent-type warehouses for temporary storage of grain crops. The paper describes a spiral-fold construction of an underground metal shelter for placing command posts and shelters for personnel of units performing tasks in the combat zone in the field.

The widespread use of metal spiral-fold structures, which continues to expand, confirms the uniqueness of these structures and the effectiveness of the inventor's company.

Based on the results of the analysis, a table was created with general data on the parameters of spiral-fold silos used in various industries. According to the table, the structures are divided into groups depending on the stored material, the data about the features of the stored material that affect to the structure and the load applied to the structure are given.
