Pellet & Feed Silos

An Australian-standard ladder and cage designed to fit any GE silo. Improve safety and ease of access to your silo with a new ladder on your old silo. Features an easy no-weld onsite assembly. Made from top-grade Aussie steel with a simple and solid design for maximum longevity.

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.

Blower pipes can be extended out from the silo at any height and length to suit your requirements. Extended blower pipes are often used to bring all blower pipes to a central filling point or to work around exclusion zones.

Allow air and dust to escape when using a pneumatic filling system, while preventing dust from landing on nearby sheds and silo roofs, or in spouts and air conditioner systems. Extended vents let air and dust out of the silo at ground level and are positioned to suit your requirements.

Use a pellet auger box when you want to permanently fit a small screw auger that will pull feed out of the silo. A 320mm x 290mm x 300mm square box is fitted to the bottom of the cone, with a slide on the bottom for emptying and service.

This hopper allows you to use a transportable auger to empty the silo. The hopper fit onto a standard silo pellet outlet and comes with a slide on the bottom for emptying the hopper.

A waterproof adaptor fixes to your pellet outlet, allowing easy fitting of Choretime, Roxell and Big Dutchman feed systems. Includes a shut-off slide for future maintenance. Custom-made to suit your system.

Reduce the risk of damage to silo and frame with steel bollards bolted to the concrete in front of the silo legs. We can install bollards at time of silo delivery or supply bollards separately as needed.

This is a four-legged, square frame that is designed to increase outlet clearance. Being closed on all sides prevents bins from being driven under the silo. Closed extension frames are usually built with a extended outlet chute.

This is a four-legged, square frame that is open at the front and back, allowing a bucket or bin to be placed under the silo outlet and driven out the other side. Commonly used with feed-out bins, wagons, front-end loaders, trailers and utes. We recommend installing bollards to protect the frame and silo from damage.

This is a four-legged, square frame that is open at the front, allowing a bucket or bin to be placed under the silo outlet. Most commonly used with feed out bins, wagons, front end loaders, trailers and utes. This frame is only open at the front and is not able to be driven through. We recommend installing bollards to protect the frame and silo from damage.

We can extend the bag chute up to 3 metres, bringing the chute opening further out from the silo and allowing you to fill larger bins, carts, front-end loaders, etc. Gas-tight version available.

An outlet chute is a large square chute with handle and butterfly flap – similar to a bag chute but larger – that brings the chute opening further out from the silo to allow for filling of larger bins, carts, front end loaders. Designed to be the main point of emptying the silo, they can be placed at any height and direction on the silo.

Large UB style frames are designed to allow for wider and higher clearances. Commonly used to allow trucks, tractors and larger bins to drive underneath. Frames are hot-dip galvanised for increased longevity. We recommend installing bollards to accompany this frame, to protect the framework and silo from damage.

An actuated outlet and inlet can make automation easier. This outlet is designed to be used with a pneumatic or 12v actuator for remote operation.

Remotely access your slide outlet via a lever system to open and close the slide. Remote opening slide outlets are most commonly used with raised outlets but can also be used with standard outlets to allow the operator to open the slide from outside of the silo legs.

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.

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.

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).

We can fit an industrial ventilator to the lid of your silo to allow continual ventilation. We recommend installing industrial ventilators when there is a history of moisture problems in the silo caused by moist or hot feed. Not compatible with gas-tight sealing.

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.

A metric level sensor gives you instant access to feed levels at any time of day and can prevent feed runout or over-ordering. Laser technology continuously measures the level of solid material in the silo and sends notifications to any phone or computer when a pre-set material level is reached.

We can supply and install your silo with company or supplier branding already in place. Including signage on delivery can save time and cost in the long run, especially with large silos that can exceed 10 M in height, and when installing your silos in confined or inaccessible sites.

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.

The live bottom is a large outlet for use with fixed augers that pull difficult to flow feeds such as meat meal. Your live bottom can be supplied with a matching auger or with the flange only, configured to suit your current auger setup.

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.

Cool grain, reduce moisture and protect from insects with CustomVac automatic controllers, drying fans, and gas tight covers. Ask our team about the range of CustomVac aeration options available for your silo.

Cool grain, reduce moisture and protect from insects with Ziehl-Abegg's trusted heavy-duty automatic controllers, drying fans, and gas tight covers. Ask our team about the range of Ziehl-Abegg aeration options to suit your needs.

We can make custom silos in many shapes and sizes depending on your needs. GE Silos started out making entirely custom silos and to this day we have retained the skills to design and innovate to meet our customers needs. Custom shaped silos are usually made to fit into tight or odd-sized spaces.

If you have a specific silo setup in mind, we can probably make a custom frame to suit. We often make custom frames to allow for better access to outlets, fitting the new silo onto an existing slab, fitting the silo into a tight space, or any number of other site-specific reasons.

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.

A modular designed walkway to go over multiple silos from one of our AS Ladders, this allows you to inspect all aspects of the silo setup from above. The walkway meets AS1657 Standards and easily fits to all of our silos.

Steel Supports for our overhead walkways are also compatible to support conveyer set ups for filling.
