Advantages of coal steel silo
The AGICO steel silo system, taking into account the characteristics of coal, has developed a solution for enterprises to achieve environmentally friendly storage of coal:
Transition from open storage to closed storage

Sealed moisture-proof structure
The steel plate silo adopts ring seam welding and spiral fillet welding techniques, ensuring the overall sealing of the silo. This can effectively prevent water penetration and moisture intrusion, keeping the coal dry and preventing caking.
Explosion-proof and safety design
A pressure release valve on the silo top and a gas monitoring system are configured to monitor the temperature and gas concentration inside the silo in real time, preventing coal spontaneous combustion and dust explosions.

Upgrade from manual operation to automated management

Environmental dust removal system
Both the silo body and the discharge port are equipped with pulse bag-type dust collectors, with the dust emission concentration controlled below 30 mg/m³, fully meeting international environmental protection standards.
Automated conveying system
It is equipped with equipment such as screw conveyors, belt conveyors, bucket elevators, and pneumatic conveying systems, enabling the automatic loading and unloading of coal in the silos, thereby reducing labor costs.

From a single container to a systematic solution

Modular design
The coal storage system provided by AGICO is not just a silo, it is an entire automated material storage and transportation production line.
Quick installation
The AGICO steel plate silo is prefabricated in the factory and assembled on-site in a modular manner. It has a short construction period, is easy to install and maintain, and can be flexibly expanded as needed.

Solutions for coal storage
From power plants to port terminals, from steel mills to transfer bases, AGICO can customize cost-effective coal storage systems according to customer needs, helping enterprises achieve low-carbon production and intelligent management.
Thermal Power Plants
- Continuous 24-hour discharge
- Storage capacity increased by 40%
- Dust pollution reduced by 90%
- Automatic temperature control system
In thermal power plants, coal is the main fuel, and its storage requirements are high and the discharging frequency is frequent. AGICO’s steel plate silos provide high-capacity, automated, and environmentally friendly coal storage systems for power plants.
Investment budget: About $4**,000–$*7*,000
Steel Plant
- Constant temperature and humidity
- Prevent oxidation and clumping
- Smooth and continuous discharge of coal
- continuous supply of coal
In the steel smelting process, the stability of coal storage (especially coking coal and injection coal) directly affects the operation of the blast furnace. AGICO offers a sealed explosion-proof silo system to ensure the safe storage and transportation of coal.
Investment budget: About $2**,000–$*50,000
Wharf
- loading efficiency increased by 50%
- Meets export standards
- environmental protection certifications
- Long-term anti-corrosion
AGICO provides high-corrosion-resistant steel silo systems for coastal ports, used for coal transshipment and loading operations. The silos are coated with galvanized or epoxy anti-corrosion coatings, offering excellent salt spray resistance.
Investment budget: About $*60,000–$*10,000
Coal Transshipment
- Bulk loading efficiency: 100 tons per hour
- The system operates stably
- Annual savings in labor costs exceed $15,00
For railway and road coal transshipment bases, AGICO offers a medium-sized coal storage system, supporting bulk reception and truck loading, and dispatching. It is highly automated and occupies a small area.
Investment budget: About $*80,000–$*50,000
