Silo cover | Gas-open execution
Protect the silo from weather, smells and ammonia emissions with a silo roof or silo cover from Flexxolutions. This cover can be fitted to virtually any concrete, wooden or steel silo available in the market. The Flexxocover is available in three versions, which are the Flexxocover Standard (with welded straps), the Flexxocover Active Maintenance (separate strap construction for frequent opening and closing) and the Flexxocover Tensioned over the central column (a version where the roof is tensioned by extending the central column). In gas-tight version, several executions are also available, depending on your application, namely the Flexxocover Gastight and the Flexxocover with LongSilo roof with Lung. The Flexxocover silo cover is designed to ensure maximum lifespan and therefore optimal cost effectiveness for our customers under all circumstances. We make this possible by choosing the best materials, by using tested components and by certified production and assembly.

VARIANTS
Flexxocover standard silo cover
The gas-open Flexxocover described above is the standard silo cover. Do you have special wishes or requirements? We can realise all the options available in the market!
Flexxocover active maintenance.
The Flexxocover Active Maintenance has been specially developed for customers who want to be able to perform multiple maintenance on the silo or the cover. The cover is designed so that it takes less than one hour to open and close.
Tensioned over the centre column.
For steel or stainless steel silos, tensioning is often used by extending the centre column. This ensures a tight assembly.
why de flexxocover and not a regular silo cover?
- The Flexxocover has been successfully assembled on more than 1000 tanks and has been placed without defects in diameters between ø2 and ø55 meters. This broad experience ensures that we can realise the best silo roof for you.
- In hundreds of positions, we apply reinforcements to protect sensitive areas from wear and tear. The combined effect of these reinforcements ensures that the silo roof can last much longer. Would you like to see what such a reinforcement looks like? Then click here!
- All our metal parts that might be in contact with gas are always made of stainless steel-316 because of the minimum sensitivity to corrosion (rust).
- The slope of the silo cover is optimised on a project-by-project basis for snow load, wind forces and pressure and resulting forces on the silo wall. This significantly increases the lifespan of your silo roof!
- We manage the entire process from design and production to assembly ourselves (under KIWA K73883 and ISO-9001). This allows us to deliver maximum quality to you.
- For each silo roof you will receive an extensive report in which all strength calculations, conditions and the resulting force on the silo wall are described. By checking this with the builder, we can prevent unforeseen problems, so that a maximum lifespan can be achieved.
- The foil that is used in our products is extremely stable in shape, it has a breaking strength of 8,000 kg per linear metre produced by a West European supplier.
- Our foil suppliers give a five year guarantee on the material and we give a five year guarantee on the design and processing.
