At LGPM several types of Mighty Bulk Silos are available, Flat Bottom, Hopper Bottom and Farm Silos. Each is designed individually to meet the requirements of the customer and to comply with Australian standards, engineered to match local Wind, Seismic and Atmospheric conditions in the build area. All silos are constructed with the following:
S350GD Structural steel , this includes all bodysheet
s and side wall stiffeners. All raw materials are galvanised, using Z600 g/m2, ensuring the longest service life, which is up to 37% higher than other silo manufacturers. Farm silos range from 1.8m up to 3.8m in diameter, and have capacities up to 85m3. They also come with hopper angle options of 45°,60°,67°, depending on material stored. Hopper Bottom Silos range from 3m up to 12.23m in diameter, and have capacities up to 2,600m3. They also come with hopper angle options of 45°,60°,66°, depending on material stored. Flat Bottom silos range from 4.6m up to 32.08m in diameter, and have capacities up to 25,000m3
All Mighty Bulk silos come with Standard Accessories:
Access Door, pre-situated in the second ring, for easy construction. Inspection Door on roof, to allow grain monitoring to be undertaken easily. Wind Rings, to prevent silo deforming in strong wind
Roof Ladder, to allow easy access to roof. Several Optional Accessories are also available upon request: –
Ladders, with safety cage, rest platforms and handrails. Stairs, with non-slip profile. Sealable Roof Vent allows easy Fumigation, air circulation and prevents vacuum during unloading.

Fully Perforated Floor, to allow for fast, even aeration. This covers, 23% of total silo area. Centrifugal fan, to promote increased aeration. Temperature monitoring system. Manual, auto, and portable options available. Side discharge system, for easy unloading into trucks, trains and containers. Grain fall speed reducer, help prevent grain damage. Sweep augers, for unloading flat bottom silos. Max/Min level indicators
Eave handrails, for added safety
