Silo machine – Double folding for metal sheets up to 6 mm thick

Xaver Lipp invented and developed the double folding technology back in the early seventies.

This patented system is based on a worldwide unique and at the same time ingeniously simple technique of tank production.

This enables an efficient and cost-effective production of containers’on site’.

The double folding system has proven itself throughout the world through high quality and stability as well as sustainability.

Until 2010, the material thickness for the double folding system is limited to 4 mm and thus to a maximum container volume of approx. 6,000 m³.
However, licensees and partners worldwide are increasingly looking for larger tanks and silos for storing various media, and this has inspired Xaver Lipp to develop a new machine unit.

With the special machine developed by Xaver Lipp, the so-called SM 60 (silo machine 60), one of the new generation of double seam technology begins. Sheets with material thicknesses of up to 6 mm can now be formed and double folded on site.
