Tower Silos

Tower silos are the most commonly used structures. It can be constructed or made of steel, wood, cement, and other materials. A tower silo is a large, vertical structure used to store fermented feed crops such as corn, hay, or straw (silage). It can range in size from 4 to 48 meters in diameter and 3 to 40 meters in height, approximately. It is commonly used in the farming industry to store feed or livestock. It is designed to be airtight to keep the silage fresh. The feed is typically placed into the silo using a conveyor or by hand and can be removed by a feeding machine or by hand as per requirement. Tower silos can be a systematic way to store feed, as they take up less area than traditional ground silos and can be easier to access.
