Hopper Silos / Hopper Tanks
Hopper silos and tanks are essential components of modern farm infrastructure, offering practical solutions for grain storage, feed management, and operational efficiency. Their unique design and functionality make them ideal for a wide range of agricultural applications.
Efficient Grain Unloading
The conical bottom allows gravity to complete grain clean-out with minimal residue. This leads to fast and easy unloading, without the need for mechanical sweepers, reducing labour costs and time spent on manual handling.
Improved Grain Quality
Smooth material flow prevents compaction and stagnation, maintaining grain integrity, reducing spoilage and the risk of mould. Extends storage life with effective ventilation and moisture control.
Versatile Storage Options
Hopper tanks are used for various purposes on farms, including:
- Wet bins for temporarily holding moist grain before drying.
- Load-out bins for easy transfer to transport vehicles.
- Feed bins for storing and dispensing livestock feed.
Space and Cost Efficiency
Hopper tanks are compact, so can be installed in tight spaces, the vertical design maximising storage capacity per square foot and reducing need for extensive ground preparation.
Automation and Integration
Modern hopper systems can be integrated with fertiliser distribution systems for precise nutrient application, tank hopper scales for accurate inventory and feed control.
Flexibility Across Farm Sizes
Suitable for small family farms or large commercial operations – available in sizes from 50 to 1600 tonnes capacity, with hopper angles ranging from 40° to 67° for different material flow needs.
