Custom Bolted Cement Silos for Industrial Storage Solutions
CAFU Machinery delivers engineered bolted cement silos designed for reliable, long-term storage of cement, fly ash, and mineral powders. With over 15 years of expertise in custom cement silo fabrication, our structural engineers create tailored solutions for capacities ranging from 50 to 2,000 tons, ensuring optimal material preservation and operational efficiency.
Custom Bolted Cement Silo Feature
• Dedicated Production Line: Hydraulic molding in dedicated molds for seamless installation.
• Advanced Corrosion Protection: Shot-blasted surfaces with zinc coating or two-component epoxy coatings.
• Modular Design: Bolt-connected components for easy transport and rapid on-site assembly.
Ideal for cement plants and bulk material handling facilities, CAFU’s bolted cement silo for cement come with integrated accessories like level indicators, pressure relief valves, and fluidization systems. Available in carbon steel or stainless steel, these silos comply with high quality standards, offering a 20+ year service life.
Customization Process
• Site Analysis: Evaluate storage needs, environmental factors (humidity, climatic conditions、seismic activity), and material flow requirements.
• Cement Silo Design: Convert silo specifications to bolted silo design based on user supplied data and optimize silo design for load distribution and structural integrity using CAFU silo-specific mechanical data analysis programs.
• Compliance: Verify data against user local standards to meet actual use requirements.

Fabrication Workflow
• Material Prep: Laser-cut steel plates with ±1mm tolerance.
• Hydraulic Molding: According to the silo diameter, choose the special mold for silo parts.
• Surface Treatment:
1. Shot Blasting: Sa 2.5 cleanliness (ISO 8501-1)
2. Coating: 120μm two-component epoxy coating or hot-dip galvanizing
Quality Assurance
• 100% weld inspection via ultrasonic testing (UT) on major stressed components.
• In-plant pre-assembly program to ensure seamless on-site installation.
Key Features & Benefits
A. Leak-Free Construction:
EPDM rubber strips + silicone carcass structural sealant, double sealing guarantee, life-long maintenance-free
B. Efficient Installation:
• Pre-assembled modules reduce on-site labor by 60%
• Bolted cement silo components are all connected by 8.8 grade + 12.9 grade high strength bolts, no welding on site
Silo Safety Systems Accessories
Enhance functionality with CAFU-engineered components:
1. Level Monitoring:
• Highest position (highest silo point -500mm) to monitor fullness and prevent leakage
• lowest position to monitor lack of material and prevent underfilling
2. Filtration Systems: Pulse-jet dust collectors (99.97% @ 0.3μm)
3. Fluidization: Fluidizing cones with 7-bar air pressure
4. Safety: Pressure relief valves (1-3 bar settings)
Industry Applications
• Cement Plants: Clinker, cement, and slag storage
• Mining: Mineral concentrate buffer silos
• Power Generation: Fly ash collection systems
• Other: Bulk material handling facilities
