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 clamping. Due
to this reason, facade systems made up of metal are preferred in
large silos and silos with wide surface size.
[0005] Surface of the silo facade lining materials are covered with
zinc in order to extend the endurance period against the rust. 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.
[0006] 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.
[0007] 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.
[0008] 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.
[0009] 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.
[0010] 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.
[0011] Due to covering silo exterior lining with stainless steel,
the economic life of the silo is increased. On the other hand,
using stainless steel in the interior lining will prevent zinc
accumulation in the food products.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0012] By considering the existing technique, the goal of the
invention is to increase the stability of facade system with silo
facade lining material in the silo facade systems, resistance
against rusting and preventing the construction of a second silo
facade, periodical maintenance and repairs by extending the life
time of lining material accordingly.
[0013] The existing invention in order to achieve this goal is
consisting of stainless steel plates shaped in order to fit
perfectly to the galvanized plate which are cut in different sizes.
Steel plates which are used has 0.01-2 mm thickness, lowers the
total cost when compared to other materials used in terms of
cost.
[0014] Differing number of bearer profiles determined according to
the anchorage elements applied to the facade, is related with steel
plate overlapping with the application of a silo facade lining
material consisting of different numbers of plates Lo that are
clamping with these profiles and their characteristic is including
various different numbers of steel plates in connection with
providing an increase in the stability and resistance against
rusting mentioned in the silo facade lining material made up of
mentioned differing number of plates.
[0015] In order to structuring and fully understanding the
advantages of existing invention with its additional elements,
figures which are explained below should be evaluated.

[0024] Reference numbers of pieces in the figures are listed below:
[0025] 1. Silo [0026] 2. Stainless steel interior plate [0027] 3.
Stainless steel exterior plate [0028] 4. Galvanized plate [0029] 5.
Stiffener [0030] 6. Bulge [0031] 7. Ceiling sheet [0032] 8. Canal
[0033] 9. Extension [0034] 10. Silo wall plate
[0035] Silo which is the subject of invention is a silo with
special lining (1) is consisting of a stainless steel plate (2)
which is basically in contact with food product and located in the
interior surface, a stainless steel (aluminum or similar) exterior
plate (3) and galvanized plate (4) between this plate.
[0036] Stainless steel (aluminum or similar) interior plates (2)
and stainless steel exterior plate (3) are pieces which are the
same or in similar sizes and same or female male compatible. In
terms of cost, in the cases where the galvanized plate (4) carries
out the function of carrying the load, the stainless steel
(aluminum or similar) exterior plate (3) provides the insulation
against the effects of exterior environment and food product inside
the silo (1) will be protected by the stainless steel (aluminum or
similar) interior plates (2).
[0037] In the application of the invention to the silo ceiling
plate (10), the stainless steel steel (aluminum or similar)
interior plates (2) and the stainless steel (aluminum or similar)
exterior plate (3) will be preferably in corrogated rectangular
shape and placed in the way that the long side will be in parallel
with horizontal axis. The thickness of stainless steel (aluminum or
similar) will vary between 0.01-2 mm and the thickness of
galvanized plate (4) will be between 0.01-12 mm. The reason of
thickness difference is due to function of galvanized plate (4) of
carrying the load of the silo (1). Section of plates can be flat,
swaged, corrogated or sinusoidal. In one of the application of the
invention, sinusoidal structure forming canals and mounds parallel
with surface, was preferred for meeting exterior forces.
[0038] The stainless steel (aluminum or similar) exterior plate (3)
and the stainless steel (aluminum or similar) interior plates (2)
are covered on the galvanized plate (4) on top, bottom and sides in
order to protect the galvanized plate (4) from the exterior
effects. Bulges (6) at the edge of each stainless steel (aluminum
or similar) plates (2 or 3) and other stainless steel (aluminum or
similar) plates (2 or 3) are connected.
[0039] Length of the bulges (6) are preferably equal to the
thickness of galvanized plate's (4) exterior stainless, aluminum
etc., lining and helping the protection of galvanized plate (4) by
overlapping with other stainless steel (aluminum or similar)
plate.
[0040] Protection of silo's (1) side walls by side wall plates (10)
is not enough for long life. Besides, triangular ceiling plate (7)
closing on each other at the top of the silo (1) and stiffener (5)
should have a longer life with the same lamellar structure
application.
[0041] Ceiling plate (7), the stainless steel (aluminum or similar)
interior plates (2) and stainless steel (aluminum or similar)
exterior plate (3) and coated galvanized plate are a whole whose
Curves and coating points are compatible. Especially, bulges (6)
and extensions of canal (8) allowing the connection of ceiling
plate (7) with other ceiling plates (7) are wide and deep. "U"
shaped canal (8) is located at one side of each ceiling plates (7)
and on the other hand it has an extension that can fit on the other
canal (8). This will provide tightness needed for the protection of
materials in the silo (1).
[0042] Load of ceiling plate (7) in the form of silo wall plate
(10) and cereal pressure inside the silo (1) cannot be carried. Due
to this reason, silo (1) is supported with stiffener (5)
surrounding the silo. By using stiffener (5), the stainless steel
steel (aluminum or similar) interior plates (2) and the stainless
steel (aluminum or similar) exterior plate (3) as well as coated
galvanized plate (4) like other all silo (1) components, it has a
structure carrying the load due to galvanized plate (4) and
protected with stainless steel (aluminum or similar) plates against
the exterior effects.
