Ash Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos
An ash silo from Bidragon is a robust silo for hot ash, soda ash or cement storage, offered in stainless steel and carbon steel versions and customised to the specific situation. The product documentation lists advantages, in the company's own terms, including elimination of cross-contamination, low maintenance, easy installation, long service life, the option of a higher-grade coating, the ability to be lifted into place, and improved concrete segregation, strength and pumping performance. Those claims are reported here as company statements.
Ash is an abrasive and sometimes hot material, so material grade, coating and discharge design are normally settled per project. The ash silo page itself gives no diameter or capacity figure, so none is stated here.

Applications
Ash silos serve power plants, cement plants and industrial sites handling ash and similar materials. The inquiry should state the ash type and temperature, the required material grade and coating, and the discharge arrangement.
How this product fits in a storage line
Industrial silos are normally planned around the material and the process, not around a generic capacity figure. Flow behaviour, dust, moisture, temperature and discharge reliability decide whether a given structure, bottom configuration and dust control arrangement will work, and the same nominal size can behave very differently with different materials. A buyer comparing industrial silos should therefore state the material, the handling rate and the downstream equipment in the inquiry, and should check which fittings, such as level sensors, dust collectors and discharge aids, are included in the proposal.
What to confirm in your inquiry
Because silo requirements depend on the material, the site and the handling system, the following items are confirmed per project before any quotation is issued. Sending these details with your inquiry helps the supplier respond with a workable proposal rather than a generic price.
- Material to be stored, including bulk density, moisture content and flow behaviour, and whether the material is free-flowing or prone to bridging.
- Required storage capacity and any future expansion allowance, together with the available footprint and height limit at the site.
- Discharge method and downstream equipment, such as a screw conveyor, a pneumatic conveying line or a packing machine.
- Roof and bottom configuration, including whether a flat bottom, hopper bottom or elevated arrangement suits the discharge and foundation plan.
- Ventilation, level measurement, temperature monitoring and dust control requirements, where the stored material or local rules call for them.
- Surface protection and coating requirements, the installation method available at the site, and the delivery scope expected from the supplier.
- Any applicable design standard or local code that the project must follow, so that the proposal can be checked against it.
Where a value is not listed on this page, it is not a standard figure for this product. It is a project-specific figure to be confirmed in writing during the inquiry process, and it should not be assumed from another product on this site.
