Flex-Silo - Silo with Modular Construction

Flex-Silo – easy to assemble, cost effective & robust. Most operators of biogas plants are familiar with the problem – with conventional silos, it`s impossible to keep the joints leak-tight forever. As a consequence, the silo systems need be replaced and repaired in a constant cycle. This is expensive and time consuming. In response, Schmack Biogas has developed a wholly new silo concept, the Flex-Silo. The silo walls comprise multiple staggered structural elements. The casing around the system modules is made of HDPE to make it resistant to corrosion and UV rays. The silo blocks are filled with concrete. This gives the silo stability, rendering a foundation and connecting elements unnecessary.
