Wall plate in silo facade systems

Abstract

A wall plate is made up of galvanized plate (4) protected by stainless steel plates (2, 3). The wall plate increases the stability of facade system, resistance against rusting and prevents the construction of a second silo facade, periodical maintenance and repairs by extending the life time of lining material accordingly. It also provides hygiene by preventing the contact of stored food products with the galvanized plate (4). The wall plate is consisting of stainless steel plates (2, 3) shaped in order to fit perfectly to the galvanized plate (4) which are cut in different sizes. Steel plates which are used have 0.01-2 mm thickness, lowers the total cost when compared to other materials used in terms of cost.

Description

TECHNICAL AREA[0001]The invention is about galvanized wall plate protected with stainless steel plate in silo facade and silo lining.BACKGROUND OF INVENTION AND EXISTING APPLICATIONS[0002]Protected storage of planted cereal products after the harvest is possible with silo systems. Metal facades of the exterior facade of silos as a barrier element became a preferred choice due to their condensation and prevention function against especially wind, rain and similar natural conditions.[0003]As major construction element, silo facade systems are consist of profiles located to the holder girders via anchorage elements having different geometrical forms and profiles used in various numbers, facade lining materials including various numbers of screws needed for clamping to the holes formed on these profiles.[0004]It is possible to locate an external element such as bolt to the bearer profile of the lining during covering the facade with lining material and dislocate if required after the cl...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention aims to improve the stability of silo facade systems by using a stainless steel plate lining material. This lining material is designed to increase resistance against rusting and decrease the need for maintenance and repairs. The invention includes a variety of differing numbers of steel plates that are clamped with bearing profiles and are connected with each other using additional steel plates. This design provides greater stability and resistance against rusting in the silo facade lining material. Overall, the invention increases the lifespan of the silo facade system and reduces costs compared to other materials.

Problems solved by technology

This situation caused a decrease in the demand of zinc which has been witnessing a rapid reserve decrease and caused rapid increase in the cost rate.

Although same results have been achieved in the application of covering some metal materials with galvanize in an effort to reduce the costs, large facade systems like silos, rusts have been observed after 10-15 years of the application.

Rusting is not approved in the silo system which is used for storing cereal group and all facade system should be taken under maintenance due to this hazard for product and human health.

More weights are used in order to prevent rusting of silo facade lining in the current application, hence, the flexibility and endurance is lost in time due to the load implemented on this piece as a part of an application method while pressing the plate, wind load on the facade and vacuum effect of the wind.

Lose of position and flexibility in the mentioned pieces causes a movement gap on the bearer system of silo facade lining material, triggering rusting as the irregular vibration that occurs due to wind, rain and similar natural conditions, decreases resistance against exterior factors.

On the other hand, deformed facade lining also causes position lost and all the plates forming the system to have a different angle of reflection under the light.

Consequently, the facade loses its visual aesthetics by displaying an irregular and unpleasant view.
