Silage Tanks

An silage tank is an extremely important part of an industrial installation. It must be designed to ensure good and effective operations, to safeguard assets related to biological raw materials.

NOFI Vakos silage tanks have double bottoms and double tank walls, constructed according to the same principles as NOFI Vakos BTC tanks. Tanks have a conical inner bottom with a fall to a drain-off in the centre. Draining is fed through the tank wall.

Supplied fully ready for mixers, with security railings around the hatch and ladder with a secure platform. A lift system with a manual winch for lowering and raising of mixers can be supplied if required.

NOFI Vakos vertical cylindrical overground tanks are constructed from PEHD (High-Density Polyethylene), which is a robust, recyclable and durable material.

At present, PE is the material normally used for the manufacture of pumping stations, tanks, wells and pressurised pipework, as it is particularly durable in a Nordic climate.

The polyethylene material is resistant to most chemicals and is used in tanks with temperatures up to +40 degrees C. The operating temperature, type of chemical and desired service lifetime from 15-50 years are base factors considered when calculating the design of tanks. The normal safety factor applied is between 1.5-2.0. PEHD tanks are used for drinking water, chemicals, ensilage and other technical production liquids.

Tanks are normally supplied in a black colour externally/light grey internally.
