Gas Film Silo
- Lightweight structure
- fast construction
- environmentally friendly
- energy-saving
AGICO gas film silo
An air film silo is a closed, membrane-structured building supported by air pressure. It is made of multi-layer, high-strength, coated fabric materials, which maintain expansion and stability under continuous inflation from the built-in air system, forming a large storage space that can accommodate thousands to tens of thousands of tons of materials.
AGICO gas film silo is particularly suitable for storing materials with large volume, low unit weight, and requiring rain, moisture, and dust prevention, such as:
- limestone
- grain
- mineral powder
- industrial salt
Characteristics of AGICO gas film silo
Quickly Build
The entire process only takes 30-60 days, suitable for emergency production or temporary construction of projects
Large span without columns
The maximum single span is 150 meters, and the utilization rate of storage space exceeds 95%
Extremely high sealing performance
Can achieve fully enclosed storage, zero dust leakage, be environmentally compliant, and be worry-free
Low operation and maintenance costs
No steel structure maintenance cost, no roof area dust problem, low energy consumption for fan operation
Strong security
Capable of withstanding strong winds of magnitude 12 and earthquakes of magnitude 7, with intelligent internal pressure regulation, stable and reliable
Green and energy-saving
No welding, low steel consumption, energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and recyclable material utilization throughout the entire process

AGICO gas film silo vs Traditional Gas Film silo
| Comparison Item | AGICO Gas Film Silo | Ordinary Gas Film Silo |
|---|---|---|
| Membrane Material | High-strength PVDF membrane + ground anchors | Ordinary PVC membrane |
| Installation Cycle | 30–60 days | 60–90 days |
| Security System | Intelligent linkage control | Basic wind pressure control |
| Dustproof & Sealing | Fully enclosed, excellent dust control | Local sealing, risk of dust leakage at joints |
| O&M Difficulty | Simple fan maintenance | Prone to dust buildup; complex later maintenance |
| Scalability & Mobility | Easy to dismantle and relocate | Dismantling and relocating are difficult |
| Cost Control | High cost-effectiveness (construction + low O&M costs) | Low material cost but short lifespan |
