THE STRUCTURE is a new technical-technological solution for
storage of goods. The essence of the design is in
modeling of the geometric silo form in the most suitable way. The shape
follows the natural conditions for packing of grain-type goods.
It also uses technical-technological solution for drying and
handling of the goods, eliminating and easing the shortcomings of the
classical-type silo.
§
As far as the proposed structural solution is concerned, it
is a silo structure consisting of four identical cells of cubical
shape, and they are positioned in such a way that each has one
diagonal.
These Four silo cubical cells support the vertical wall assembly
positioned under all inclined outside walls and edges of the bottom three cubical cells which rest on a corresponding
foundation. The feeding funnels are installed on the upper apexes of all cells, and on the lower ones there are the discharge funnels for releasing of the stored materials. The structural shape,
mutual position and connection of individual parts of this structure, enable savings in the material for building of the gravitational filling process as well as the gravitational complete emptying, and all this without decomposition of the stored material.

The author of the patent was awarded the gold-plated medal at the 1990 Fair of Innovations in Geneva.
