Dry Bulk Storage Solutions
Silos, Tanks and Covers
CST® is the world’s leading manufacturer of dry bulk storage solutions for multiple industries, including food and grain, mining, plastics and biomass. We safeguard our customers’ products and reduce operational costs through a variety of storage containment, material and coating options.
CST is a total solution provider. We are the only company in the world that can offer such a complete product line of storage technologies (glass-fused-to-steel, bolted epoxy, factory-welded and galvanized tanks; aluminum geodesic domes and flat panel covers). And we’ve done it for over 130 years.
Whether it’s our expertise manufacturing tanks (since 1893), applying high-tech coatings to them (since the 1920s) or the precision-manufactured, low-maintenance aluminum used to manufacture our domes and vaults, you can trust CST to provide a solution that will outlast the competition while also providing the lowest life-cycle costs.
130+ Year Legacy of Quality
Our storage solutions are custom engineered to your exact specifications, designed using state-of-the-art CAD and stress-modeling tools, and then manufactured in one of our seven ISO-certified manufacturing facilities located in the U.S., Europe and Asia. Our dedicated project management teams ensure a smooth purchasing, manufacturing and delivery process while providing a single point of contact throughout the engineering, manufacturing and construction processes.
We’ve manufactured nearly 500,000 glass-fused-to-steel and epoxy-coated tanks and 20,000 covers in over 125 countries, so you won’t find anyone with CST’s design, manufacturing and field-service expertise.
Direct Flow Channel Blending
Direct Flow Channel (DFC) blending combines the quality of CST silos with a proprietary design for gravity blending of material in the silo to minimize the effects of batch variables. Based on design parameters, analysis and field experience developed by CST’s engineers over the decades, we have developed a solution that will increase flow efficiencies, reduce cleanout costs and save you money.
Integrated Loading Platforms and Accessories
CST’s ability to satisfy your needs, improve construction times and save you money doesn’t stop with providing just silos, domes or vaults. We can design and manufacture silos for drive-through and train-through operation, integrating accessories such as walkways, level indicators, load cell units. Our partners are also capable of providing a variety of material handling solutions for loading and unloading all of our storage solutions.
FIFO and LIFO Designs
CST can manufacture silos with standard hopper slopes for either first-in-first-out (FIFO) or last-in-first-out (LIFO) flow. Our engineering teams can also custom design silos and hoppers to meet your specific flow characteristic needs.
