Maximum Capacity.
Zero Indoor Footprint.
Eliminate civil engineering costs by storing outside. Our heavy-duty vertical silos feature 100mm PU insulation and integrated Miller Plate cooling, preserving milk quality in capacities from 20 to 120 Tons.
Select Your Storage Configuration
Match your daily production volume with the most space-efficient and cost-effective cooling architecture.
5 - 15 Tons
Horizontal indoor cooling tanks suitable for mid-sized dairies with adequate milk room space.
20 - 50 Tons
Vertical outdoor silos for large commercial dairies. Avoids civil expansion costs while providing superior gravity-fed discharge.
60 - 120 Tons
Massive buffer storage for milk processing plants and collection centers requiring multi-truck dispatch capabilities.
Storage Architecture Comparison
| Configuration | Civil Engineering Requirement | Cooling Efficiency | Emptying Dynamics | CapEx Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Indoor Horizontal Tanks | Requires enclosed, climate-controlled milk room | High (Direct Expansion Bottom) | Standard Sloped | High Building Cost |
| Vertical Outdoor Silos | External concrete pad only; Alcove indoors | Miller Plate + 100mm Insulation | 100% Gravity Purge | Zero Building Expansion |
Engineered for Reliability & Hygiene
Every NexAgri Silo is manufactured with food-grade AISI 304 stainless steel and rigorous structural welding to withstand extreme climates.
Vertical Outdoor Silos (20T - 120T)
The Weatherproof Giant
Designed to integrate seamlessly into your existing milking center through a wall alcove. The silo remains fully outdoors, utilizing a 100mm solid polyurethane foam layer that guarantees a temperature fluctuation of less than 1°C over 24 hours, even in direct summer heat.
Industrial-Grade Thermal Technology
Protecting your most valuable asset requires uncompromised material science and refrigeration engineering.
Miller Plate Jacket
Advanced honeycomb cooling jacket maximizes refrigerant contact area, drastically improving heat exchange efficiency compared to traditional copper coils.
T-Type CIP Cleaning
Integrated T-type rotary spray balls and breathable hoods ensure high-pressure chemical sanitation reaches the entire upper cylinder with zero dead zones.
Hygienic Geometry
Inner vessel transitions utilize precise arc radius designs. Smooth, polished welds eliminate microscopic crevices where bacteria typically colonize.
Safe Access Design
Equipped with industrial-rated caged ladders, anti-slip top platforms, and an ergonomic lower manhole for secure routine inspections and maintenance.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Planning Guide
Evaluating the financial impact of shifting from indoor tanks to commercial outdoor silos.
1. Eliminating Civil Engineering Costs
Expanding your herd from 500 to 1,500 cows typically requires triple the milk storage capacity. Building a new climate-controlled milk room to house massive indoor tanks incurs heavy structural, roofing, and flooring costs. An outdoor silo completely bypasses this CapEx; it requires only a reinforced concrete pad and a simple wall penetration (alcove) for the controls and discharge pipe.
2. Footprint vs. Capacity Ratio
Vertical silos utilize vertical airspace rather than horizontal floor space. A 120-Ton horizontal indoor tank consumes an enormous amount of floor area. A 120-Ton vertical silo footprint is vastly smaller, optimizing farm layout and traffic flow for milk collection tankers.
3. Thermal Efficiency (OpEx Savings)
Energy consumption is a major operational expense. The 100mm PU foam insulation acts as a formidable thermal barrier. Once the milk reaches 4°C via the plate coolers and Miller Plate jacket, the compressor rarely needs to cycle on to maintain the temperature, slashing annual electrical costs.
