Cost-Effective Dry Bulk Storage Tanks & Silos

Tarsco specializes in high-security dry storage tanks and silos, engineered in-house to industry standards. The carbon and stainless steel bolted silos are developed to store dry materials, like cement, grain, fly ash, lime, and other bulk solids. Our custom-designed construction ensures efficient shipping and quick installation. Manufactured to preserve product integrity and ensure optimal material flow, these solutions deliver long-term durability, compliance, and exceptional value. Factory-applied epoxy powder coating with thermal fusion bonding provides unmatched protection that cannot be reproduced in the field, ensuring the most economical solution across the full lifetime of the tank.

Key Features and Benefits of Dry Bulk Storage Tanks & Silos

  • Premium Quality: Using best-in-class engineering, Tarsco dry bulk tanks are made of bolted steel panels with gasketed seams. The panels are precision-cut and 100% holiday-free before leaving the factory, ensuring a tight field fit and strong structural integrity. To prevent coating damage or abrasions during transportation, shipment pallets are custom-designed for each job, and protective heavy paper sheets are placed between panels. Each panel is stacked in erection sequence, reducing unnecessary handling and ensuring faster, safer installation on site. Bolted silos can also be relocated or expanded, increasing their residual value and flexibility for future projects.
  • Rapid Installation: Tarsco systems require minimal installation time. Our custom designs are quickly installed using jacking systems and modular panels. This ground-level erection method eliminates the need for expensive cranes or scaffold systems, improving safety and quality control even in confined spaces.
  • Multiple Construction Arrangements: Choose from fully skirted silo cylinder walls with elevated hopper outlets or abbreviated short skirt walls with elevated structure placement. We also provide a flat-bottom construction with mechanical or pneumatic reclaim equipment if you require large-volume storage.
  • Efficient Operation: Our custom-engineered bulk dry storage tanks ensure efficient discharge for different types of materials, including grains, minerals, biomass, pellets, or powders. Our designs include flat-bottom and hopper-bottom options meeting the varying discharge requirements. They enable reduced bridging, ratholing, and residual product.
  • Low Maintenance: Tarsco bulk storage tanks require minimal maintenance as they are equipped with internal wear liners provided according to client requirements. The tanks are made of customized stainless steel. Carbon steel or galvanized steel options are available with load-specific roof and sidewall reinforcements to ensure structural integrity and efficient storage. Our interior flow systems include mass flow, funnel flow, and aeration cones.
  • Multi-Faceted Application: The dry bulk storage silos are designed for diverse applications in industries like energy, chemical, mining, and agriculture.
  • Huge Capacity: Our tanks have a typical diameter range of 15 ft – 40 ft and a height of up to 100 ft. They can hold up to 5 million gallons of material. With decades of experience, Tarsco successfully delivers projects worldwide, meeting diverse customer requirements with proven reliability.
  • Industry-Compliant: Tarsco products are built in conformance with AISC and API standards and possess OSHA-compliant accessories like ladders, handrails, access hatches, and platforms. Based on the industrial site, our expert team of engineers can design for wind load and seismic zones.
