Grain Silos
Flat-bottom and hopper-bottom silos with temperature monitoring, aeration, and complete pre-cleaning, loading, unloading and operating systems — protecting grain value from harvest to processing.
Overview
Storage you can trust on
In Pakistan, post-harvest losses in traditional bag storage systems can reach up to 30% of the crop due to high moisture, heat, insects, birds, rodents, floods, heavy rain, and handling damage.
Our modern, latest-generation steel silo storage systems reduce these losses to under 1%, turning saved grain directly into profit and strengthening food security.
We deliver complete silo projects, including galvanised steel silos ranging from 50 to 20,000 tonnes per silo, with intake pits, pre-cleaners, grain dryers, bucket elevators, chain conveyors, temperature monitoring systems, aeration fans, grain discharge systems, and operating and automation systems.
Every project includes structural design tailored to local wind, seismic, and soil conditions, along with full civil engineering coordination.
Key Features
Engineered in every detail
Galvanised Steel Construction
Magnelis-coated, high-tensile galvanised steel bodies engineered for a 30+ year service life.
Aeration Systems
Aeration fan and duct systems help maintain safe grain temperatures in Pakistan’s climate.
Digital Temperature Monitoring
Multi-point cable sensors with intelligent software detect and alert you to hotspots, enabling cooling before grain damage occurs.
Complete Handling Lines
Bucket elevators, chain conveyors and belt conveyors sized for fast intake and loadout.
Grain Cleaning & Weighing
Pre-cleaners, drum sieves, and bulk weighers condition and account for every tonne of stored grain.
Sweep Augers & Unloading
Gravity plus sweep-auger unloading empties flat-bottom silos safely and completely.

Inside the projects
Typical silo configurations
Indicative flat-bottom models based on wheat at 0.78 t/m³. Every project is engineered to site conditions — wind, seismic and snow loads, grain type and your loading/unloading rates.
| Model | Diameter | Eave height | Capacity (wheat) | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HDS 15 16 | 14.32 m | 21.75 m | ~2,500 t | Flat bottom |
| HDS 22 14 | 21.01 m | 21.48 m | ~5,000 t | Flat bottom |
| HDS 25 16 | 23.87 m | 24.50 m | ~7,500 t | Flat bottom |
| HDS 28 17 | 26.74 m | 26.43 m | ~10,000 t | Flat bottom |
| KHS series | 3–10 m | — | 10–1,000 t | Hopper bottom |
Galvanised steel sidewalls with Magnelis coating, aeration, digital temperature monitoring cables, access doors, external, internal, and roof ladders included. Final dimensions are confirmed during the engineering stage.
Complete scope, one contract
Alongside flat-bottom and hopper-bottom silos for wheat, rice, maize (corn), soybean, sunflower and canola, we supply the full grain-handling line: bucket elevators and elevator towers, chain and belt conveyors, intake pits, pre-cleaners and vibro grain separators — engineered, installed and commissioned as one turn-key contract, with projects delivered across Punjab, Sindh, KPK and Balochistan.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Beyond cutting physical losses from around 30% to under 1%, silos eliminate recurring bag purchases, significantly reduce labour requirements, and enable fumigation and aeration that preserve grain quality. Most projects pay back within 2–4 seasons.
Yes. Capacities are usually quoted on wheat, but the same silos store paddy, maize, canola and other free-flowing grains, with aeration designed for each crop's requirements.
Flat-bottom silos need engineered concrete ring foundations with aeration trenches, plus intake pit and elevator pits. We provide complete civil drawings and supervise the contractor's works.
Intake lines are sized to your truck arrival pattern — typically 100 to 300 tonnes per hour — so trucks are turned around in minutes during peak season.
