Cement Silo KCS-500

KRISMAK KS500 Series is a flagship industrial cement silo designed to meet the most demanding cement storage requirements of large-scale concrete production facilities and high-volume long-term projects, with a 500-ton cement storage capacity and 385 m³ effective volume. With its impressive dimensional profile of 19,945 mm height and Ø6,180 mm body diameter, a total weight of 28,000 kg, and a structure of 250 components, the KS500 constitutes the most comprehensive and most powerful link in KRISMAK’s cement storage series.

In terms of structural design and material quality, the KS500 Series represents the highest level of industrial durability standards. The silo body is constructed from ST-37 steel metal plates in 8, 6, and 5 mm thicknesses; while the conical section is manufactured from the same ST-37 material with 8 mm plate and 200 mm steel C-channel support. The top cover consists of 6 mm ST-37 plate, and six silo legs made from Ø273×12 mm steel pipe rise on a load-bearing system reinforced with NPL 80 mm angle iron supports and 20 mm foot plates, safely transferring this enormous load to the ground. The 4-inch steel charging pipe extending to the silo leg and the Ø300 mm outlet diameter provide the optimum flow geometry for fast and efficient cement transfer. All static load and mechanical calculations have been analyzed in detail with ANSYS Workbench CAE software; this scientific verification process confirms to engineering standards that the silos can be safely operated for many years under all climatic and site conditions without any risk of structural deformation.

In terms of production method, the KS500 Series can be manufactured with welded construction on the job site according to customer demand and project conditions. This method enables the silos to be assembled directly at the location where they will be used, while offering high stability and structural integrity. Site-specific welded construction production is particularly well-suited for large-scale facilities to be operated long-term in fixed positions, allowing the silos to serve with maximum durability at their installation point.

In terms of equipment content, the KS500 Series is delivered with a comprehensive component infrastructure supporting operational safety and usage efficiency. Cement filling pipe, internal and external manholes, safety guards, air filter, roof flanges for the pressure safety valve, and conical flange for the butterfly valve are included in the standard equipment scope. Additional equipment such as cement screw conveyors in various diameters and lengths, air fluidization nozzles, and manual discharge valve can also be included in the supply scope according to the specific requirements of the project. This customizable equipment structure makes it possible for the KS500 to be seamlessly adapted to different facility configurations and operational scenarios.

In terms of the surface protection system, the KS500 shares the high quality standard applied across KRISMAK’s entire silo series. The coating system consisting of one coat of anti-corrosive primer and two coats of topcoat epoxy paint with a total thickness of 140 microns provides long-term protection of the silo body against moisture, corrosion, and atmospheric effects, while also giving the facility a professional and aesthetic appearance. KRISMAK KS500 Series offers an integrated solution that meets the cement storage needs of large-scale industrial projects at the highest level, with its superior storage capacity, engineering-based structural assurance, customizable equipment infrastructure, and site-specific production flexibility.
