TECHNOLOGY
PRADO Silos grain silos are designed for the requirements of commercial applications and are made under the
latest manufacturing technologies. Our silos are well designed to withstand the loads due to continuous use, hig
wind speed and heavy snow loads.

The silos use an upright sti ening system, which allows for a more e cient use of steel as well maximizing the s
strength. This sti ening system can also be adapted to meet di erent load requirements of speci c facilities, as
additional sti ening can be added at points of heavier load, such as under catwalks. Finally, grain silos o er high
resistance to corrosion thanks to the use of Z-600 galvanization on the body sheets, roofs and sti eners.

The main components of our silos and their features are as follows:
