Bushels

Characteristics

A bushel is a bulk grain storage silo with a conical bottom, where the cylinder stops at the upper part of the discharge cone. The load is supported by uprights anchored in cement and supported by feet.

Unlike flat-bottomed bushels, the conical bottom design allows the grain to be emptied completely by gravity.

The galvanizing process protects the bushel, with the level of protection being proportional to the thickness of the zinc coating. As such, the cylinder, feet, and frame of the bushel are galvanized with Z600 (600 grams of zinc per m²) (or hot-dip galvanized).

Diameters

Bushels are available in diameters ranging from 2.68 to 8 meters, with a storage capacity of up to 600 tons. These bushels can also be equipped with temperature sensors and ventilation systems.

Slope
The slope of the conical bottom can be either 45° or 60°, depending on the type of product being stored.

Loading Bushels - Conical Base Silos

The loading troughs are designed with a 45° slope, in line with the specifications provided in the downloadable data sheet.

In round bushels, the cone angle remains consistent throughout the entire cone, ensuring smooth grain flow, unlike in square bushels.

Prive SA have been manufacturing silos in France for 60 years.

Privé SA exports 50% of its production.

Privé SA is certified ISO 9001.

Conical base silos

Characteristics

A conical base silo is a storage silo in which the cylinder extends all the way to the ground. It offers a more cost-effective alternative to bushels, with a lower price per ton of storage.

The conical base silo differs from silos equipped with a discharge cone. In a conical base silo, the load of the cone is supported by a peripheral hoop and posts attached to the cylinder. The inner slab in a conical-bottom silo is completely unobstructed to allow the passage of grain conveying equipment.

Options

Conical base silos are available in diameters ranging from 4.46 to 8 meters. A bushel has a storage capacity ranging from 8 to 600 tons, depending on its diameter and height.

The cone elements can be either perforated or non-perforated. The perforated option enables the cell to be used for long-term storage, such as after the drying season.

Models

The conical base of the silo is available with a 45-degree slope.

Delivery/Loading Silo

Characteristics

The bushel of loading is a conical-bottomed silo designed for storing and shipping grain. It has a height of 4.40 meters under the valve for truck loading.

Galvanizing extends the lifespan of the bushel of loading. The thickness of the zinc coating directly correlates to the duration of protection. As such, the cylinder, hoop, cone, and feet of the bushel of loading are fully galvanized with Z600 (600 grams of zinc per m²), or hot-dip galvanized.

In a Privé round bushel, the cone angle is consistent throughout, unlike square bushels, where the 45-degree angle is only present on the sides. This results in better grain flow in round bushels, as the flow is less restricted compared to square bushels with angles under 45 degrees.

Models
The conical base silo is available with a 45-degree slope.

Options for bushel of Loading

The bushel of loading is available in diameters of 3.57 meters or 4.75 meters.
It has a capacity of up to 142 tons.

Models of bushel of Loading

The bushel of loading is available with a slope of 45 degrees.
