Product Details

In an era of escalating global food demand and persistent challenges in post-harvest preservation, efficient grain storage has become indispensable. With world population growth, volatile weather patterns, and post-harvest losses still reaching 20-40% in many regions due to inadequate facilities, the need for reliable, high-capacity steel grain silos continues to surge. Recent industry analyses project the global grain storage silos market to grow steadily: valued at approximately USD 1.6-5.1 billion in 2025, it is expected to reach USD 2.1-7.1 billion by 2030-2032, with CAGRs ranging from 4.7% to 6.1% (sources: Mordor Intelligence, Grand View Research, MarketsandMarkets, Coherent Market Insights). This expansion is driven by agricultural modernization, government food-security programs, rising grain production in emerging markets (Asia, Africa, Latin America), and the preference for durable, modular steel silos that minimize spoilage and enable scalable storage.

 

BEN-THOMAS is a specialized manufacturer with over 20 years of experience in designing and building complete Steel silo leg processing machine. We deliver turnkey solutions for fabricating the key structural components of bolted steel silos, empowering manufacturers worldwide to produce high-quality profiles in-house and construct silos efficiently.

 

Our Grain bin Silo column production line has been successfully deployed in numerous countries across continents, with clients using our production lines to successfully build tens of thousands of grain silos. These projects span diverse scales and applications, delivering varying degrees of success in capacity expansion, cost reduction, and operational reliability—earning high praise from customers globally for performance and dependability.

 

Backed by continuous innovation, our lines incorporate ongoing updates, incorporate customer feedback, and integrate our extensive practical experience to enhance features year after year.

Frequently Asked Questions

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
