Technical Specifications: Alloy, Thickness, and Form
Recommended Alloys:
5083/5086 (H116/H321 Temper):
Why? High strength, exceptional corrosion resistance, and weldability. Ideal for structural components exposed to moisture and temperature fluctuations.
Widely used in marine and industrial applications, ensuring longevity in grain storage.
3003/3105 (H14/H24 Temper):
Why? Good formability and moderate strength. Suitable for corrugated roofing/cladding panels in silos.
Thickness & Width:
Structural Panels: 2.0–6.0mm thickness × 1000–2500mm width (coils or pre-cut sheets).
Thicker gauges (4–6mm) for load-bearing walls and bases.
Thinner gauges (2–3mm) for roofing and non-load-bearing sections.
Corrugated Profiles: Roll-formed from 0.8–2.5mm coils for lightweight, weather-resistant cladding.
Material Form:
Coils: Cost-effective for large-scale projects, enabling on-site roll-forming into corrugated sheets.
Pre-Cut Sheets: Convenient for modular assembly and smaller installations.
Why Aluminum Alloy Silos?
Key Advantages:
Rapid Construction: Prefabricated panels reduce on-site labor and time by 30–50% vs. concrete/steel.
Superior Sealing: Eliminate grain spoilage with airtight joints, maintaining stable temperatures and humidity.
Durability: Resists rust, pests, and chemical corrosion, ensuring 30+ years of service life.
Lightweight: 30% lighter than steel, lowering foundation costs and enabling remote installations.
Sustainability: 100% recyclable, aligning with green agricultural practices.
Economic Impact:
Zhengzhou’s 12,000-ton silo used 120–144 tons of aluminum (10–12kg aluminum per ton of grain).
Reduced post-harvest losses by up to 15%, critical for food security.
Global Market Opportunities
Target Countries:
Major Grain Producers:
North America: U.S. (Corn Belt), Canada.
South America: Brazil, Argentina.
Europe: Ukraine, Russia, France.
Asia: India, Thailand, Vietnam.
Climate-Vulnerable Regions:
Africa: Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia (high post-harvest losses due to humidity/pests).
Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Philippines (typhoon-prone areas require durable storage).
Market Drivers:
Rising grain production and government initiatives to modernize agriculture (e.g., India’s PM-AASHA scheme).
Demand for cost-effective alternatives to aging concrete silos.
