Product Details
Meeting the Growing Global Demand for Grain Storage
As global population continues to grow and agricultural production scales up worldwide, the demand for efficient, safe, and large-capacity grain storage solutions has increased significantly. Steel silos have become the preferred choice for modern grain storage due to their durability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. Among all silo components, silo stiffeners (vertical columns) play a critical role in ensuring structural strength and long-term stability.
To meet this growing market demand, BEN-THOMAS has developed an advanced Steel Silo upright equipment, designed to help customers efficiently produce high-precision silo stiffeners and build their own steel silos with confidence.
BEN-THOMAS – A Dedicated Expert in Machine for Grain Silo Uprights
BEN-THOMAS specializes in the design and manufacturing of complete Steel Silo upright machine. With years of technical accumulation and continuous innovation, we have successfully delivered Grain bin Silo u post machine production line to customers in many countries and regions around the world, earning strong recognition for reliability and performance.
Our company holds multiple proprietary patents in roll forming, punching, and automation technologies, ensuring that our Production line for vertical support of silos remain at the forefront of the industry in terms of precision, efficiency, and stability.
Fully Automatic Steel Silo Stiffener Forming Machine Solution
The grain bin Silo column forming machine is a fully automatic integrated system designed for producing silo vertical columns. Customers purchase the machine to manufacture customized stiffener profiles, which are then used to construct steel silos according to their own project requirements.
Customization Capability
- Profile dimensions can be fully customized according to customer drawings or silo design requirements
- Material thickness is adjustable and customized based on customer needs
- This flexibility allows customers to adapt the machine to different silo sizes, standards, and markets.
Steel Silo Upright Production Line Configuration
- The complete grain bin Silo stiffener fabricating equipment consists of three main sections, seamlessly integrated into one automatic line:
- Roll Forming Section
Precisely forms steel coils into required stiffener profiles with excellent dimensional accuracy and surface quality. - Punching Section
High-precision punching system ensures accurate hole positions, meeting strict assembly and structural requirements. - Automatic Stacking Section
Automatically collects and stacks finished stiffeners, reducing labor costs and improving workplace safety.
Key Advantages
- High final product accuracy
- Excellent punching precision
- High production efficiency
- Low scrap rate
- Stable, fully automatic operation
The integrated design minimizes manual intervention, improves consistency, and ensures long-term reliable production.

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
5. Conclusion
This successful FAT for a major Indian manufacturer underscores BEN THOMAS’s capability to deliver world-class, tailor-made industrial solutions. We combine robust engineering with transparent validation processes, ensuring our clients receive a production asset that is verified, reliable, and ready to deliver a rapid return on investment.
