Product Details

Integrated Three-Part System Architecture

Our grain bin Silo post machine integrates three essential manufacturing processes into one seamless, automated workflow:

1. Roll Forming Section
The heart of the grain bin Silo reinforcement roll forming line features precision roll forming technology that progressively shapes flat metal coils into the desired silo column profile. Our multi-station roller configuration ensures consistent cross-sectional geometry throughout the entire length of each column, delivering uniform quality from the first piece to the last.

2. Punching Section
Integrated directly into the production flow, the automated punching section creates precise holes and mounting points in the columns as they emerge from the roll forming process. This synchronized operation eliminates secondary processing, reduces handling, and ensures perfect hole alignment and positioning accuracy.

3. Automatic Stacking Section
The final stage features an intelligent automatic stacking system that organizes finished columns for easy handling, transport, and storage. This automated solution eliminates manual handling risks, optimizes warehouse space, and prepares your products for immediate shipment or use.

Superior Performance Advantages

High Precision Final Products: Our advanced control systems and precision-engineered rollers ensure that every silo column meets exact dimensional tolerances, resulting in superior fit and structural integrity during silo assembly.

Exceptional Punching Accuracy: The integrated CNC punching system delivers hole positioning accuracy within tight tolerances, ensuring perfect alignment during silo construction and eliminating fit-up issues in the field.

Outstanding Production Efficiency: The fully automated, continuous-flow design maximizes output while minimizing labor requirements. Once material is loaded and parameters are set, the line operates continuously, producing finished columns at industry-leading speeds.

Minimal Scrap Rate: Precision engineering throughout the entire production process, from material feeding through final stacking, dramatically reduces material waste. Our clients consistently report scrap rates well below industry averages, directly improving profitability.

Reduced Labor Costs: Automation Rollforming machine for Silo reinforcement eliminates the need for multiple operators and reduces the skill level required for operation, lowering your ongoing labor expenses.

Consistent Quality: Automated production removes human variability, ensuring every column meets the same exacting standards regardless of production volume or operator.

Frequently Asked Questions

Successful FAT of a Silo Wall Panel Line for Major Indian Manufacturer

Project Case Study: Successful FAT of a Silo Sidewall Production Line Major Indian Manufacturer

Client: A leading silo manufacturing company based in Pune, India
Supplier:BEN THOMAS Machinery Co., Ltd.
Project:Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for a Fully-Automated Corrugated Silo Wall Panel Production Line
FAT Date:March 2024

1. Client Challenge & Project Objective
Our client,a prominent player in India’s agricultural and industrial storage sector, faced challenges in meeting the surging demand for large-diameter silos. Their existing fabrication process for curved wall panels was labor-intensive, slow, and resulted in inconsistent quality, affecting onsite assembly speed and final silo integrity. They commissioned BEN THOMAS to deliver a complete, automated solution that would guarantee high output, exceptional dimensional accuracy, and robust construction for long-term reliability.

2. The BEN THOMAS Solution
BEN THOMAS engineered a heavy-duty, PLC-controlled corrugation shaping line specifically for high-volume production of corrugated silo wall panels.

Key Line Features:

· High-Precision Corrugation Shaping Forming System: Equipped with hardened tooling to form precise, repeatable corrugation profiles from galvanized steel coils (1mm to 4mm thickness).
· Integrated Punching System: For simultaneous, accurate piercing of bolt holes, lugs, and ladder attachment points in a single pass.
· PLC-Driven Variable-Radius Curving Unit: A standout feature allowing automatic, seamless curvature of panels to various diameters (from 4m to 30m+) without manual adjustment or template changes.
· Automatic Length Measurement & Cutting: Ensured each panel was cut to exact length with ±1mm tolerance.
· Complete Auxiliary Package: Included heavy-duty decoiler, precision leveller, run-out conveyor, and automatic stacking system for finished panels.

3. The Factory Acceptance Test: A Rigorous Validation
A 6-member technical delegation from the client visited the BENTHOMAS factory for a comprehensive 4-day FAT.

· Phase 1: Technical Documentation & Static Inspection. The client’s engineers meticulously reviewed all mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and component certifications. They inspected the line’s build quality, weld integrity, and major branded components (Siemens PLC, Schneider electrics, etc.).
· Phase 2: Dynamic Dry & Wet Run. The core of the FAT involved multiple production runs using client-provided material.
1. Dry Run: All safety functions, emergency stops, and automatic sequences were tested without material.
2. Wet Run with Target Materials: The line processed several coils at incremental speeds (up to 25 meters per minute). The client team performed real-time quality checks on randomly selected panels, verifying:
· Profile geometry and consistency.
· Hole pattern positioning accuracy.
· Panel length and curvature radius against their specific silo design files.
· Surface finish quality (no scratches or deformation).
· Phase 3: Training & Final Sign-off. BEN THOMAS engineers provided hands-on operational and maintenance training. After addressing all queries and a final review meeting, the client’s Project Manager officially signed the FAT Certificate, confirming the line fully met all contractual performance and quality specifications.

4. Results & Client Endorsement

· Proven Performance: The line exceeded the guaranteed output rate by 12%, achieving a stable production speed of 28 m/min for standard panels.
· Unmatched Accuracy: All dimensional checks confirmed tolerance levels superior to industry standards, ensuring leak-proof, fast onsite assembly.
· Seamless Integration: The line’s PLC interface was praised for its user-friendliness, allowing quick changeovers between different panel specifications.

Client Feedback:
“The BEN THOMAS team demonstrated profound expertise and a cooperative spirit throughout the FAT. The line’s performance, particularly the accuracy of the automatic curving unit, has convinced us of its capability to revolutionize our production efficiency. This investment is a strategic move to enhance our market leadership, and we are confident in the long-term partnership with BEN THOMAS.”
— Director of Operations, Client Company
