Legged Silo
The V-Mac Legged silo is ideal for storing your animal feed. The galvanized strip body is joined together using an interlocking process which gives a smooth wall finish on the inside while the interlocked seam on the outside gives the body added strength.
Construction
- Galvanized steel strip body with interlocked rib providing smooth wall silo shell. Stainless steel nuts and bolts used throughout.
- All other parts are either made from fabricated galvanized steel or hot dipped galvanized mild steel.
- Low angle galvanized lid.
- Heavy duty (3.5mm) filler pipe.
All metals and galvanizing are to EU and BS standards.
Features
- Large inspection window on cone.
- Access hatch on the cone (18 inch diagonal).
- Sight glasses – one on the cone and one on the silo body above the cone. Extra sight glasses can be fitted upon request.
