For additional functionality and flexibility, the Arrowhead Silo series offers a split silo with double wall partition. These upgrades provide enhanced separation and material handling capabilities, with additional components for each compartment.
Allows for dividing a single silo into multiple compartments, giving you the ability to store different materials or handle varying quantities within the same silo.
Available for all silo capacities, from 493 BBL to 1160 BBL.
Features a threaded nipple at the button of the silo that can be used to pressure test the double wall partition integrity and shows if a leak is ever resent in the future.
Includes additional components such as pressure relief valves, inspection manholes, fill lines, butterfly discharge valves with actuators and solenoids, and emergency slide gates for each compartment.
Provides the flexibility of segregating materials while ensuring efficient discharge and aeration.
The following upgrades improve silo fill performance and safety:
NTEP certified with load cells, butterfly discharge valve, aeration system, and air vibrator, all factory-installed.
Rotary-type indicators to monitor high and low material levels in the silo.
Bar grate decking with handrails, toe boards, and a step-off deck from the safety ladder, ensuring safety during silo maintenance.
Low-pressure regenerative blower system for silo aeration, with optional manifolds for multiple compartments.
All equipment is treated with a zinc primer and polyester polyurethane paint for weather resistance and durability.
Factory-installed wiring in conduit for reliable electrical connections.
Pre-installed wiring and a NEMA 4 power panel, ready for connection to customer-supplied power.
