Features

Wheat & Grain Silos

Standard Features

We pride ourselves on building silos that will serve you well for many years to come, and we work hard to ensure that every GE Silo has the features you need to get the job done with the minimum of hassle. The following features are all included as standard on this silo – no fuss, no hidden costs, just stock-standard.

Grain Outlet

All of our grain silos are equipped with our proprietary grain outlet at the base of the cone. Designed for efficiency and ease of use, our outlet features a large 400mm opening, low-friction HDPE slides, safety guarding, and a canvas diverter that makes sure the grain goes where it’s meant to! Ask about our grain outlet brochure for full details.

Lid Opener

Open and close the top lid of your silo without climbing to the top! Our lid opener is a timesaving standard feature and is made up of a 760mm lid with a large lever handle and cable that extends to the base of the silo. A winch at ground level opens the lid against strong holding-down springs, and upon release of the cable the lid springs closed again. Available in standard or gas-tight versions.

Base Blocks 15mm

Base blocks prevent water, dust and grain from accumulating under the silo rings and make cleaning around the base of your silo much easier. This has the effect of significantly increasing the lifespan of your silo rings. We install all new silos with 15mm base blocks and given the no-weld design, they can be easily retrofitted to your existing silos.

30 Degree Cone

Our grain silos come with a 30 degree cone angle as standard. Over the years, we have found that a 30º angle is best for most grain storage, with the ideal balance of friction and flow rate. However some applications benefit from a deeper or shallower cone and we can customise the cone angle to your requirements – just ask, we’re always happy to discuss what’ll work best for you.

Base Manhole

A base manhole allows appropriately trained and equipped personnel to inspect, clean and maintain the silo. Our ledge-free design stops product from building up on top of the manhole and the pointed design greatly reduces how much feed falls out when opening the manhole. Note: round manholes are still used on sealed silos to allow for better sealing.

Wheeled Grain Hopper

This large hopper with wheels can be used to empty your silo using augers of all sizes. The wheeled design allows for easy manoeuvrability with no lifting and pairs with our grain outlet. Ask about our grain outlet brochure for further details.

Safety Ring

Another standard safety feature on every GE Silo, the safety ring provides a secure harness clip-on point at the top of the silo, allowing for safe inspection and maintenance work. This feature is especially important when working with our largest silos, which can exceed 10 M in height.

Click to select the accessory kits you want. Your choices will be captured and sent to our team when you enquire or request a quote.

Blower Pipe

Included as standard on all our pellet & feed silos, blower pipes allow the silo to be filled by a blower truck. A steel pipe runs from the top of your silo down the wall with a connector at the bottom. The blower pipe can be positioned anywhere on the silo and bends are made from heavy-duty, 4.5mm thick 100nb pipe for a longer life.

Bag Chute

Bag chutes can be used for sampling and emptying the silo into auger boots, wheelbarrows, and bins. The 125mm square chute has a handle and butterfly flap. Bag chutes are included as standard on pellet & feed silos, and typically positioned to the side of the main outlet, though they can be placed at any height and position you want. Gas tight version available.

Internal Coating

A standard feature on our fertiliser silos, we use a two-part epoxy paint (Epinamel DTM985) to coat the inside of base of the silo, preventing the harsh compounds in fertiliser from eating into the Zincalume coating. When paired with our pre-painted food-grade coating on the upper walls, this combination provides an excellent level of protection for common fertiliser applications.

Load Cells

Load cells give an incredibly accurate digital readout of weight of the product in the silo, which is useful when filling trucks or monitoring silo capacity by weight. We can fit load cells to your silo at the factory or we can design the footplates on your new silo to match your existing load cells.

Custom Cone Angle

Each type of silo has a standard cone angle which is optimised for the intended storage use-case, based on usage and typical conditions. But we can customise the angle of the cone to suit your needs. A steeper cone angle might improve product flow, or a shallower angle might help you to adhere to height restrictions. We can also build offset cone angles (where the outlet is off-centre).

Extra Sight Glasses

Sight glasses give you an instant visual indicator of product levels without needing to open the silo or use electronic sensors. We include one sight glass per 1200mm wall sheet as standard, but we can include additional 100mm diameter clear perspex sight glasses as needed, including in the base.

Feed & Seed Cone and Outlet

This unique offset cone and bag chute outlet allows easy access for emptying into bags or wheelbarrows. This cone and outlet configuration is only compatible with our smaller 7, 12, 16, and 21 tonne silos.

External Painting

GE Silos come in a smart white finish as standard, but we can also supply your silo pre-painted in a colour of your choice. We are most often asked to paint silos for aesthetic reasons: to blend in with the environment or buildings around it.

Custom Outlet Height

We can extend or lower the legs on your silo to achieve a particular outlet height. A custom outlet height might enable better access underneath the silo, or provide more clearance for your bins, carts and loaders.

Customisation

Need something specific for your silo?
We might be able to help! 

Every GE Silo is built by hand in our workshop in central Victoria and we're old hands at customising silos to suit our customers’ needs. So let us know if there’s something you need that you don't see listed above: chances are we’ve done it before, and if we haven’t, we can probably work it out!

About
Wheat & Grain Silos

We’ve built a formidable reputation for excellence in wheat and grain silos.

Ever since the Comer Brothers started making silos from a converted shearing shed in the late 70’s, GE Silos’ reputation for unmatched quality and durability has continued to go from strength to strength. From those early days to this, the business has stayed in the same family; eventually handed down from mum and dad to son and daughter-in-law in 2015.

Over this time we've continued to stay hands-on with our customers and deliberately small in scale; still operating out of the same purpose-built workshop we moved into in 1996. We always welcome new ideas and suggestions for improvements to existing ones, and in that way our silos have continued to get better and better with each new generation.

Innovations you’ll only find on a GE Silo:

  • Large grain outlet specially designed by the GE Silos team for optimum outlet flow and ease of use
  • Matching wheeled hopper for easy connecting and disconnecting
  • Ground operated lid opener that allows you to easily open, close and seal the top lid from the safety of the ground
  • Factory-tested gas-tight sealing option guaranteed to exceed the GRDC 5 minute half-life test (on average our test results last 6 times the standard!)
