Symaga upgrades feed silos with stronger steel and larger sizes

• Symaga is replacing S350GD structural steel with S450GD steel in its farm silos.
• The new S450GD steel has a yield strength of 450 N/mm², up from 350 N/mm².
• This upgrade is expected to improve mechanical performance and structural strength.
• Symaga is expanding its feed silo range with new models measuring Ø3.80 m in diameter.
• These new configurations provide storage capacities of up to 86 m³.

Symaga, a global leader in galvanized steel silo manufacturing, is implementing significant upgrades to its feed silo product line. Starting in August, the company will replace its current S350GD structural steel with S450GD steel in its farm silos. This new steel offers a higher yield strength, increasing from 350 N/mm² to 450 N/mm², which is expected to enhance mechanical performance and structural strength while reducing the overall weight of the silos. This weight reduction is anticipated to lower logistics and assembly costs.

In addition to the steel upgrade, Symaga is expanding its range of feed silos with new models measuring Ø3.80 m in diameter. These new configurations will offer greater storage capacity, reaching up to 86 m³, to accommodate diverse farm sizes and feeding requirements. Symaga plans to use both steel types during a transition period to ensure supply continuity and maintain delivery schedules.

These product developments are part of Symaga's Annual Product Development Plan, aimed at optimizing storage solutions for the livestock sector. The company is also investing in advanced production equipment, which has already resulted in a 30% increase in productivity in specific areas like silo roof manufacturing. Symaga is also committed to sustainability, with approximately 70% of its manufacturing activities powered by renewable energy from its expanded solar plant.
