“We have been using the silo capacity calculator successfully in-house for many years. Recognising the benefits to customers it is now available, free of charge, via our website.
“The tool allows entry of height, diameter and material variables to calculate approximate silo working volume and capacity. More complex aspects of silo design are also taken into account and we have ensured the planning tool is both simple to use and intuitive to allow customers to check silo capacity using basic dimensions.”
