The Customer's Quest for Cooperation

At the onset of June this year, Openex received an inquiry from a prominent plastics processing enterprise seeking a reliable partner for their project. Armed with detailed cone barrel stainless steel silo drawings, the customer approached Openex for cooperation. Recognizing the significance of the opportunity, Openex promptly assembled its production, technology, and quality assurance departments to develop a robust processing program.

Technical Challenges and Solutions

The silo specifications presented two major technical difficulties for Openex: roundness control in cylinder molding and deformation control in multi-cylinder grouping. The silo had a substantial diameter of 4 meters, a length of 15 meters, and an impressive volume of 200 cubic meters. To meet these challenges head-on, Openex engaged in thorough communication with the customer, understanding their unique requirements and technical expectations.

The silo's construction comprised three different plates with varying thicknesses of 5mm, 6mm, and 8mm. Ensuring the highest level of precision and accuracy during the fabrication process was paramount to deliver a superior product.

Roundness Control in Cylinder Rolling

To achieve precise roundness control during cylinder rolling, Openex leveraged cutting-edge technologies and modern equipment. The skilled workforce employed advanced machining techniques, ensuring that each cylinder section met the strictest geometric specifications. By adhering to meticulous quality control measures, Openex maintained consistency and uniformity across the entire silo structure.

Deformation Control in Multi-Cylinder Grouping

The second major challenge was managing deformation in multi-cylinder grouping. Openex's engineering team meticulously analyzed stress points and devised innovative solutions to minimize deformation risks. Careful material selection and expert craftsmanship mitigated any potential deformation concerns, guaranteeing the structural integrity of the silo.
