Hot-dip galvanized corrugated steel feed silo for poultry, pig, and livestock farms. Available in multiple storage capacities with single or double feed outlets, bolted assembly, and compatibility with automatic auger feeding systems.
Product Overview
The galvanized corrugated steel feed silo is used for bulk feed storage in automated poultry and livestock feeding systems.
The silo consists of a cylindrical storage body, roof, upper and lower cone sections, support legs, feed outlet, and access components. Galvanized steel panels are bolted together for transportation and on-site assembly.
Feed can be transferred from the silo to the animal house through an auger or other conveying equipment. The silo can also be configured with feed level monitoring and automatic weighing equipment where required by the feeding system.
Standard capacities are available from 3 to 30 tons. Other capacities and configurations can be discussed according to the farm layout and feeding requirements.

Specifications may vary according to the final silo configuration and project requirements. Please confirm the required capacity, dimensions, outlet configuration, and accessories before production.
Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel Construction
The silo body is manufactured from galvanized steel corrugated panels. The corrugated profile increases panel rigidity while allowing the silo to be assembled from individual sections.
The supplied material is hot-dip galvanized steel with a specified zinc coating of approximately 275 g/m².
The galvanized surface is intended for outdoor agricultural environments and provides protection against corrosion during normal farm use.
For projects in coastal, high-humidity, or otherwise corrosive environments, the installation conditions should be reviewed when selecting the silo specification.
Corrugated Panel Design
The silo body uses corrugated steel panels to improve structural rigidity.
Panels are connected using bolted joints, allowing the silo to be supplied in knock-down form. This reduces transport volume and makes the equipment suitable for containerized export and on-site assembly.
The silo structure includes:
- Corrugated galvanized steel wall panels
- Roof section
- Upper cone
- Lower cone
- Support legs
- Feed outlet
- Access ladder
- Inspection components
The final structure and panel arrangement depend on the selected capacity.
Feed Outlet & Automatic Feeding Compatibility
The feed silo can be connected to an automatic feeding system through the lower feed outlet.
Depending on the feeding line design, the outlet can be configured for connection to an auger or other feed conveying equipment.
Optional components include:
- Single feed outlet
- Double feed outlet
- Feed level sensor
- Automatic weighing system connection
- Inspection port
- Access ladder
- Safety cage
- Feed transition components
The outlet arrangement should be confirmed together with the feeding line manufacturer or project engineer to ensure correct connection and feed flow.
The silo discharges into the house through a main feed delivery auger system — we size silo capacity, outlet height, and auger distance together as one feed line.
Applications
The galvanized feed silo is mainly used as bulk feed storage equipment in automated animal feeding systems.
Typical applications include:
Poultry Farms
Suitable for broiler, layer, and breeder farms where bulk feed is delivered from the silo to individual poultry houses through an automatic feeding line.
Pig Farms
Used for bulk feed storage and connection to automatic pig feeding systems.
Livestock Farms
The silo can be used for centralized feed storage in other livestock operations where bulk feed handling is required.
The silo is particularly suitable for farms that need to reduce manual feed handling and connect bulk feed storage with an automatic feeding system.
For humid, coastal, or corrosion-sensitive sites, the fiberglass feed silo is the alternative worth comparing — it does not rust and never needs repainting.
FAQ
What feed silo capacity do I need?
The required capacity depends on the number of animals, daily feed consumption, feed delivery frequency, and the number of days of feed storage required.
For a project recommendation, send us your farm type, animal numbers, estimated daily feed consumption, and preferred storage period.
Can the silo be connected to an automatic feeding line?
Yes.
The silo can be configured with a suitable feed outlet and connection components for an automatic auger feeding system or other conveying equipment.
If you already have a feeding line supplier or equipment specification, send us the relevant dimensions so we can check the silo outlet configuration.
Is the galvanized feed silo suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The galvanized steel construction is intended for outdoor farm installation.
However, the foundation, anchoring, drainage, local wind conditions, and site environment should be considered before installation.
What galvanized coating is used?
The supplied specification uses hot-dip galvanized steel with a zinc coating of approximately 275 g/m².
The final material and coating specification should be confirmed in the technical quotation or production documents.
Do you provide different silo capacities?
Yes.Standard models in the supplied specification range from 3 to 30 tons. Other capacities and configurations can be discussed according to the project requirements.
Can you provide single and double outlet silos?
Yes.Single- and double-outlet configurations can be supplied according to the number of feeding lines and the farm layout.
Can a feed level sensor be installed?
Yes.A feed level sensor can be included when required by the automatic feeding system. The sensor type and installation position should be confirmed according to the control system.
Can the silo work with an automatic weighing system?
Yes.The silo can be configured for connection with an automatic weighing system when this is part of the project design.
Do you provide installation drawings?
Yes.Installation drawings and component lists can be provided according to the confirmed silo model and configuration.
How is the feed silo shipped?
The silo can be supplied in knock-down form for containerized export. The panels and structural components are packed separately for transportation and assembled at the installation site.
