Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of silos for storage of materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to a silo and a process for transporting and assembling such silo that allows saving costs while improving the quality.
  • Silos have been known for a long time since they have been quite necessary for the storage of material. In many cases, silos store granulated material, powdery material, among other. In spite of the somewhat simple construction or assembly of a silo, there have been efforts in the prior art to further improve assembling and/or installing silos.
  • Patent document WO-2015134338-A1 discloses a temporary addition or injection system.
  • a silo can be mounted on a trailer, a transfer pot and/or a control system may be mounted on the trailer, transport the silo to a work-site and self-erect it to stand vertically on the trailer at the work-site or dismount the silo at the work-site.
  • Patent document WO-9606753-A1 relates to a transport vehicle that enables receiving and depositing a container such as a silo.
  • the transport vehicle includes a pivoting device with two arms in parallel that are pivoted when receiving and depositing the silo, thereby making possible to erect the silo at an installation site.
  • Patent document EP-1871697-B1 discloses containers for storing dry granules and powders, such containers being silos in some examples.
  • a cylindrical silo may be transported and lifted onto a concrete base to be installed at a particular location.
  • the cylindrical silo may have mounted thereon a filter that fits within the space between the silo and the supporting structure.
  • patent document US-2013142601-A1 there is disclosed a transportable self-erecting silo system for oil and natural gas.
  • the patent document describes a trailer including a flipper mechanism coupled with a trailer bed and a rocker arm.
  • the silo is mounted on the truck, and by means of the flipper mechanism and some hydraulic jacks the silo may be raised and rotated for the installation of the same.
  • silos At some installation locations, the construction of silos is expensive due to a lack of facilities or machinery for carrying out such task. Accordingly, there is a need for minimizing the number of tasks that need be carried out at an installation location and reducing the complexity of such tasks. It is preferable that most of the tasks for the construction and/or assembly of silos may be carried out at facilities of a company, even if the facilities are remote from the installation location.
  • silos may be further improved in what regards the transportation and assembly of the same in order to save time and costs when new silos need be installed at a particular location.
  • a first aspect of the invention relates to a process for transporting and assembling at least one silo for storage of granulated or powdery material, comprising:
  • the process for transporting and assembling at least one silo of the present disclosure makes possible to prepare one or more silos at one location where facilities and machines for the preparation of silos are available, and to transport the prepared one or more silos to a location where they are to be installed for the final assembling of the same.
  • This is particularly advantageous for simplifying installation of new silos at those locations where manpower, machinery and/or facilities for building silos are scarce or expensive.
  • the process of this aspect of the invention reduces the number of operations that need be carried out at the installation location in what regards building the silo. As the body of silo is already built, only the hopper and supporting structure need be assembled.
  • the body of silo is adapted to host some or all the components necessary for the installation of the at least one silo at the installation location.
  • the hopper or the components for making the same may be arranged inside the body of silo so that the transportation of the body of silo already provides the transportation of the other components. This saves time and simplifies the transportation since only the body of silo has to be attached to a means of transportation (e.g. a ship, a truck, a train, etc.) as the remaining components are already stored inside the body of silo.
  • the components within the body of silo are taken out therefrom so that the hopper may be mechanically coupled with the body of silo.
  • the hopper is first assembled, and then it is mechanically coupled with the body of silo.
  • the supporting structure is also assembled so that the body of silo may be provided on top of it and, thus, the hopper may provide the material at the lower part of the silo through the unload opening thereof.
  • the at least one silo is for storage of granulated or powdery edible material.
  • a shape of the body of silo is a parallelepiped.
  • the transportation of the body of silo is simple in what regards attaching the body of silo to a means of transportation. Additionally, the same shape is also advantageous for hosting components inside of the body of silo for the transportation.
  • the body of silo is a freight container.
  • the body of silo may be provided in the form of a freight container, thereby reducing the cost of transporting and assembling the silo.
  • the process further comprises removing, from the body of silo, at least one door from a first end or a second end of the body of silo; wherein a step of removing at least one door from the body of silo takes place after a step of transporting, to an installation location of the at least one silo, the body of silo.
  • One of the end walls need not be removed, and can serve as an upper cover. Only it is needed to modify for example with a feeding inlet. Obviously, these modifications will carried on at the installation site.
  • the body of silo is a freight container
  • at the installation location of the at least one silo at least one door may be removed from one end of the container so that the container may function as a silo.
  • the process further comprises providing at least one plate on an inner face of each wall of the body of silo, each of the at least one plate preferably comprising food paint on a face thereof.
  • the walls of a freight container may comprise slots, protrusions and/or recesses, mainly due to the nerves or undulated shape of the wall (for providing rigidity to the walls), in order to store the material within the at least one silo it is convenient that the inner face of the walls of the container are flat.
  • the surface is made planar.
  • each of these plates are coated or painted with food paint.
  • Another reason for attaching plates to the inner surface of the undulated walls of the silo is to provide more stiffness.
  • the lower plates can be thicker than the upper ones, since the pressure is higher in the lower part due to the column pressure.
  • the plates are preferably provided with through apertures that coincide with the segments of the (undulated) wall that are more interior, such that it is possible to weld the plates to the nerves, which will be placed horizontal when the container is placed vertically.
  • the freight container is a sea container.
  • the process further comprises painting an inner face of each wall of the body of silo with food paint.
  • a step of assembling the hopper and the body of silo at a first end thereof takes place after a step of providing, at the installation location of the at least one silo, the body of silo on the supporting structure.
  • a step of providing, at the installation location of the at least one silo, the body of silo on the supporting structure comprises lifting the body of silo with a crane and placing with the crane the body of silo vertically on the supporting structure.
  • a crane may be limited to lifting the body of silo so as to form the at least one silo, thereby simplifying the assembly of the at least one silo.
  • the body of silo is a first body of silo, and the process further comprises:
  • a plurality of silos is to be transported and assembled so as to form an assembly of silos.
  • Each of the silos to be assembled may host the components necessary for the building thereof.
  • an assembly with a single unload opening (that of the combining hopper) may be provided.
  • the term 'master' of 'combining hopper' only denotes that it is a hopper used for collecting the material that is unloaded from each silo of the assembly of silos. It is clear that simply the term 'hopper' can be used instead of 'combining hopper' without departing from the scope of the present disclosure.
  • dimensions of the body of silo are dimensions defined in standard ISO 1496, or any updating thereof.
  • a second aspect of the invention refers to a silo for storage of granulated or powdery material, comprising:
  • the silo Prior to the assembly of the silo, the silo is adapted to be transported and installed in a cost-effective manner.
  • the body of silo features a geometry of a parallelepiped that simplifies the transportation (it may be easily attached to a means of transportation) of the same and which makes possible to transport the components constituting the body of silo without increasing the volume that needs be transported (because the components are included within the body of silo).
  • the silo further comprises a supporting structure adapted to be included inside the body of silo and to support the body of silo when the body of silo and the hopper are mechanically coupled.
  • the body of silo may also store inside the same the supporting structure that holds the silo in an upright position.
  • the silo is for storage of granulated or powdery edible material.
  • the body of silo is a freight container.
  • the body of silo may be provided in the form of a freight container, thereby reducing the cost of transporting and assembling the silo.

  • a third aspect of the invention relates to an assembly of silos for storage of granulated or powdery material, comprising:
  • each silo of the four silos is for storage of granulated or powdery edible material.
  • the present invention relates to a process for transporting and assembling at least one silo 10a-10d, 25, 30 for storage of granulated or powdery material.
  • a container for transporting the silo will, at the installation site, be the silo body itself. This will allow for moving many assembly stages to the site where the container is built, thus allowing to save much costs at the installation site.
  • the inventors have checked that without or few modifications, the current containers can fulfill perfectly the silo body function.
  • the inventive method comprises the following steps:
  • the method goes on by transporting, to an installation location of the silo 10a-10d, 25, 30, the body of silo 11a-11d with the supporting structure 13 and the hopper 12a-12d or components for making the hopper 12a-12d arranged inside the body of silo 11a-11d; Since the silo body will be made of a container specially conceived for transportation, this step will be optimally carried out.
  • the method goes on by assembling, at the installation location of the silo 10a-10d, 25, 30, the hopper 12a-12d and the body of silo 11a-11d at a first end thereof; and mounting, at the installation location of the silo 10a-10d, 25, 30, the body of silo 11a-11d on the supporting structure 13.
  • the shape of the body of silo 1 is a parallelepiped, and specifically, the body of silo 11a-11d is a freight container, preferably a maritime container, with standard dimensions.
  • the container may be a 20 feet, 40 feet or 40 feet high cube container, which length x width x height maybe approximatively respectively:
  • the method can comprise the step of removing, from the body of silo 11a-11d, the doors from a first end or a second end of the body of silo; the step of removing the door from the body of silo 11a-11d takes place after a step of transporting, to an installation location of the silo 10a-10d, 25, 30, the body of silo 11a-11d.
  • One of the door or end walls must be removed, since this end will form the open end of the silo body, such that the goods stored therein can pass into the hopper.
  • the process can further comprise providing plates on the inner face of each wall of the body of silo 11a-11d. These plates can preferably be coated with food paint on a face thereof.
  • food paint it is meant paining that is compatible with the storage of foods.
  • the step of assembling the hopper 12a-12d and the body of silo 11a-11d at a first end thereof takes place after a step of providing, at the installation location of the silo 10a-10d, 25, 30, the body of silo 11a-11d on the supporting structure 13.
