NEW GENERATION SILOS
YASLA SILOS
Our companies, IBT GmbH and MDC Ltd., jointly develop and manufacture silos under the YASLA® brand, intended for storing feed, grain, fuel pellets, wood chips, and other similar uses. YASLA® silos are developed and produced based on our decades of experience in manufacturing fiberglass-reinforced products and systems, and they have all the necessary certifications.
SILO CONSTRUCTION
The Yasla silo consists of a fiberglass container and attached metal supports covered with a thick layer of hot-dip galvanizing for many years of safe and reliable operation. The supports have flanges with holes at the bottom for installing the silo on the foundation using anchors. One of the silo supports is equipped with a special connection and can be used for loading feed by pneumatic method.
PROTECTION
Thanks to the airtightness of the Yasla silo containers, the penetration of rodents or other pests into the silo is prevented. Thus, silos prevent the spoilage of feed by pests.
In a fiberglass silo, there is a significantly smaller number of seams on the silo shell. This almost completely reduces the risk of water penetration inside the silo. The shell of the fiberglass silo has only vertical seams, which are easy to seal during installation or as needed.
FEED LOADING AND UNLOADING
Loading feed into Yasla silos can be performed through the top loading opening, which has a large diameter of 860 mm. The top opening is securely closed with a lid featuring a rubber seal.
Loading can also be performed pneumatically through the loading support, which has a special device for connecting the pneumatic line from the feed truck. Excess air exits the silo shell through a special ventilation support.
The unloading of feed from silos is provided in several ways:
- direct unloading through a manual gate device located at the bottom of the silo, which delivers feed into the container;
- unloading of feed using conveyors from the bottom opening of the silo, on which an appropriate transition element is installed that matches the parameters of the transport system.
You can order any transitional devices from us that meet your needs.
MATERIALS AND COMPONENTS
The fiberglass from which the silo shell is made has a significant thickness, which, combined with the low thermal conductivity of fiberglass, prevents the overheating of compound feed, thereby preserving its nutritional properties.
The internal surfaces of the Yasla silo are coated with a layer of paraffin, which prevents the feed from sticking to the internal surfaces.
The external surface of the silo is covered with a durable layer of special coating, which will protect the silo shell material from moisture or solar radiation for many years. The white color of this protective layer also helps to reduce the heating of both the silo shell and the feed.
SILO LOCATION
YaslaSilos, unlike metal ones, can be successfully located outside of buildings. The fiberglass, from which the shell of the silo is made, has significant thickness, which, combined with the low thermal conductivity of fiberglass, prevents the formation of condensation on the inner surface.
As it is known, the condensation on the inner surface of metal silos causes the feed to become wet. And the adhesion of feed to the inner surfaces of silos significantly complicates the operation of metal silos.
WHY CHOOSE YASLA?
Using a bunker for feed storage is a good solution to many problems. And using a fiberglass silo Yasla is a premium solution.
01
LOCATION
The fiberglass silo is designed for storing feed in livestock farms both indoors and outdoors.
It ensures airtightness and reliable protection of the feed from moisture, air, pests, and birds. Airtightness contributes to the preservation
of the high quality of the feed, including its taste and nutritional value.
Such a silo prevents spoilage and minimizes feed losses during
storage.
03
THERMAL INSULATION AND HYGIENE
The fiberglass silo has excellent thermal insulation properties, which
helps maintain a stable feed temperature and prevents its
overheating, freezing, and condensation formation.
Thanks to the specially smooth inner surface of the silo, compound feed easily slides over the surface of the fiberglass silo. The inner surface of such a
silo is easy to clean and disinfect, which helps maintain high sanitary standards.
02
TRANSPORTATION
Durability and lightness.
Fiberglass silos are lighter than their metal counterparts, which simplifies their transportation and installation. Also, such a silo is not susceptible to corrosion, which ensures a longer service life of the silo without the need for regular maintenance and repair.
Yasla silos can arrive at the customer in a disassembled state, which reduces delivery costs.
The design of our silos facilitates installation at the customer's site in a short time by qualified workers.
04
AUTOMATION OF FEEDING
The fiberglass silo allows for mechanized loading
of feed into the silo cavity directly from the feed truck. This allows
for the implementation of automated livestock feeding, which reduces feed usage and frees up workers' time.
05
STANDARDIZATION
Yasla Silos are designed in accordance with the requirements of modern EU legislation.

A representative network is currently being formed.
We design and manufacture strong, safe silos (bunkers) for feed, grain, fuel pellets, or wood chips.
YASLA silos have the thickest shell on the market, which preserves the quality of the feed and prevents the feed from sticking to the silo walls.
The durable shell of YASLA silos withstands operational loads from wind, sun, snow, and the impact of other equipment. Increased flange thickness for segment connection using ultra-strong fasteners coated with hot-dip galvanizing. The steel supports of the silo are coated with a thick layer of hot-dip galvanizing, which, along with other advantages of YASLA, guarantees you many years of reliable operation.
YASLA IS THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN SILOS
We conducted experimental studies on the impact of loads on the silo
YASLA IS A NEW GENERATION OF SILOS
To create a truly new generation of equipment, we have done important work studying existing market solutions for temporary storage and transportation of feed. Thus, a list of important measures was developed to prevent errors in the design and manufacturing of silos.
We do not delegate responsibility to suppliers and manufacture all components at our production facility, monitoring quality according to high industry standards.
UNCOMPROMISING APPROACH
Many years of designing, manufacturing, and servicing composite equipment have taught us an uncompromising approach to maintaining strength, temperature resistance, and elasticity indicators. For conducting strength calculations of the laminate and bunker supports, we engaged the world's best specialists. Thus, we embarked on an intriguing journey to the perfect silo. Initially, necessary silo models were created, which were then repeatedly adjusted after calculations and tests.
WIND FORCE
Silos are usually located in open areas where their structure is subjected to loads from both gentle breezes and strong winds. Therefore, it is not permissible for this to lead to structural damage across all ranges of wind load. This factor was taken into account by us.
THE POWER OF THE SUN
Ultraviolet radiation is present in solar radiation, which can destructively affect the laminate of the silo bulb. Infrared radiation can heat the shell of the silo, which may reduce its resistance to loads. Moreover, overheating of compound feed leads to the degradation of its nutritional properties. Therefore, the construction of the silo shell should prevent the negative impact of solar radiation.
MAIN LOAD
Of course, the greatest load on the silo is the weight of the feed, or fuel pellets, or wood chips. It is also necessary to consider the loads that occur during the loading of feed and its movement down to the conveyor.
Safety and reliability are the main criteria when performing this calculation.
SNOW LOAD
In winter, the thickness of the snow cover can reach a significant magnitude. Snow can accumulate. Neglecting such a load can be costly. Therefore, we considered it as another type of combined load.
SIMULTANEOUS ACTION OF ALL LOADS
The worst-case scenario is the simultaneous action of all loads. Calculations for this complex case were carried out in full with maximum attention.
TESTING
To confirm the results of mathematical modeling, field tests of the silo were conducted, during which measurements of deformations occurring in the structural elements of the silo were taken and their compliance with the theoretical model was analyzed. This confirmed the correctness of the project data laid down.
We came to the production of Yasla silos with 25 years of experience in manufacturing finished structures and parts from fiberglass.
