More then 8500 IBAU single cell silos and 650 IBAU multicompartment silos are in operation around the world
In the innovative original IBAU design for large silos, the CENTRAL CONE SILO forms a ring space on the silo bottom. This is divided into individual aeration sections that are slightly turned towards the discharge openings in the cone with a small inclination.
For the material discharge, the ring space in the silo is aerated section by section so that in a complete cycle all sections have been aerated and the entire material in the silo has been set into motion. The controlled flow via flow-control gates is the basic concept of the IBAU „SAFETY FIRST“ principle.
The base of the IBAU Silo floor is formed by a central cone. The divisions result in external diameters of 14 to 27 m, from 2 to 22 chambers.
