Mesh Silo

A mesh silo can be assembled quickly. It is available in various sizes and relatively easy to move, making it an ideal solution for (impending) slurry surpluses. Besides slurry storage, the mesh silo can also be used for storing other liquids such as digestate, sludge, or water.

Construction of a mesh silo

The Genap mesh silo consists of thermally galvanized elements interconnected to form a strong, stable wall structure. The number of elements determines the size and capacity of the mesh silo, ranging from small silos with a diameter of Ø 6.81 metres and a capacity of 106 m³ to very large silos of Ø 26.57 metres and 1,607 m³. The interior of the construction is lined with black HDPE geomembrane to protect the silo lining. The material of this lining is selected based on the silo’s use (the type of manure or other contents). The silo is particularly suitable for placement on less load-bearing grounds; a concrete foundation is not necessary. The mesh silo can be covered with a floating cover.

  • Quick to assemble
  • Easily relocatable
  • No need for a concrete floor or piling

Installation of a mesh silo

Genap installed a mesh silo for Schouten-Gijsen partnership in Lopik, eliminating the need for them to rent external storage space. The silo, standing at 3 meters tall and measuring 13.15 meters in diameter, provides 407 cubic meters of storage capacity. A mixing hatch in the floating cover streamlines the slurry mixing process. This installation was largely permit-free.

Mesh silo with a return pipeline

Genap has installed a mesh silo with a return pipeline for more efficient slurry processing at Dairy Farm Nijmeijer in Koekange. Opting for a mesh silo, primarily for its cost savings compared to a concrete silo, offers benefits such as faster slurry loading and a mixing hatch for easy stirring, making slurry spreading more efficient.
