Lime Silo | Bidragon Steel Silos
A lime silo from Bidragon is a cylindrical steel container for lime powder storage. The product documentation states that double-sided galvanized steel plate and German Lipp technology are used, and describes the result, in the company's own terms, as guaranteeing a long service cycle. That claim is reported here as a company statement.
The documented features include high strength, fast installation and good sealing performance, with suitability for granular, powder and liquid material storage. The ventilation system includes natural vents, an induced draft fan, a ventilation blower and ventilated channels with mesh, and the silo is fitted with conveying, monitoring, drying and ventilation devices for safer and more automated storage.

Applications
Lime silos serve lime handling, water treatment, construction materials and industrial processes. The documented capacity range is broad, so the inquiry should narrow it to the required storage volume, the lime type and the discharge rate.
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.
