LIPP SPIRAL SILO · GRAIN STORAGE Lipp Spiral Grain Silo: Ventilated, Sealed Storage from 40 to 15,000 m3
A Lipp spiral grain silo is rolled from one continuous steel strip on site, so the wall is a single sealed shell that holds wheat, rice, maize and other crops without leaks. Built-in ventilation and temperature control keep the grain in condition, while the smooth interior resists pests, dust and spoilage through the season.
How the grain silo is built
The silo is raised from a coil of steel strip fed through a Lipp forming machine at the site. The machine bends and locks the strip into a rising spiral, so the shell is one piece with a single helical seam rather than many bolted panels. That single seam and smooth wall make the silo easy to keep clean and hard for grain pests to colonise between fills.
Ventilation and temperature control
Grain stays saleable only when heat and moisture are controlled. The silo is fitted with a ventilation and temperature system that moves air through the stored crop and reads the temperature at the core, so hot spots that lead to mould and spoilage are caught early. The settings are matched to the crop and the local climate, whether the silo sits at a family farm or a large milling site.
Why a single spiral wall helps grain
Fewer joints means fewer gaps where moisture and insects enter, and the smooth steel interior gives no ledge for residue to build up between crops. The result is a cleaner wall and a lower spoilage rate year after year.
What the sealed shell protects against
A sealed spiral shell plus a controlled climate protects the harvest from the three losses that matter most: spoilage from damp and heat, pests that enter through weak seams, and contaminants from a dirty wall. For farms, food processors and the wider agricultural chain, that protection is the gap between a saleable crop and a write-off.
Sized to the crop and the yard
Each silo is set to the material and the site. Diameter, height, filling and discharge points are chosen for the throughput, and extra outlets or access points are added where the process needs them. When the duty changes, the next silo can shift to match, so the storage keeps pace with the harvest instead of boxing it in.

| Regulated | Meets grain storage rules set by authorities in most countries. |
Frequently asked questions
What grain can this silo store?
Wheat, rice, maize, soybeans and other cereals and pulses. The strip grade and lining are chosen for the crop and the local climate.
How does it keep grain from spoiling?
A ventilation and temperature system moves air through the crop and reads the core temperature, so hot spots that cause mould are caught before they spread.
Can it serve a small farm and a large mill?
Yes. Diameter runs from 3 to 50 m and volume from 40 to 15,000 m3, so the same build fits a family farm or an industrial storage yard.
Is it sealed against pests and moisture?
The single continuous wall has one helical seam instead of many bolted joints, so there are fewer gaps for insects and damp to enter, and access points lock shut.
Does it meet grain storage standards?
The silo meets the grain storage regulations set by authorities in most countries, and the build is documented for the buyer's site survey.
