Method for producing a cylindrical container , in particular a silo, in which method - a sheet-metal strip is drawn off from a reel , said sheet-metal strip being helically bent and profiled in the upper and/or lower peripheral region, and the peripheral regions of adjacent sheet-metal strips disposed on top of one another subsequently being connected to one another; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a profiling device for forming the profile of the upper and/or lower periphery; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a drive device ; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a connecting device which connects the adjacent longitudinal peripheries of the supplied sheet-metal strips to one another so as to form a shell face of the container ; - assembly frames , which at least in regions run cylindrically on the circumference and on which the sheet-metal strips connected to one another are mounted in a helical and rotationally displaceable manner and upon producing the connection are rotationally moved by means of the drive device , are used, - characterized in that - a profiling device , which does not perform any helical bending of the supplied sheet-metal strip and performs the profiling of the peripheral regions of the supplied sheet-metal strip only at least partially, is used between the reel and the drive device ; - a supply device , which is connected to the drive device or to the profiling device , and which at the beginning of the production procedure of the container by way of a coupling device is releasably connectable to the sheet-metal strip that is able to be drawn off from the reel and supplies the latter to the drive device by way of the profiling device , is used, the connection between the supply device and the sheet-metal strip being released once the sheet-metal strip has been acquired by the drive device . - a sheet-metal strip is drawn off from a reel , said sheet-metal strip being helically bent and profiled in the upper and/or lower peripheral region, and the peripheral regions of adjacent sheet-metal strips disposed on top of one another subsequently being connected to one another; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a profiling device for forming the profile of the upper and/or lower periphery; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a drive device ; - the sheet-metal strip is supplied to a connecting device which connects the adjacent longitudinal peripheries of the supplied sheet-metal strips to one another so as to form a shell face of the container ; - assembly frames , which at least in regions run cylindrically on the circumference and on which the sheet-metal strips connected to one another are mounted in a helical and rotationally displaceable manner and upon producing the connection are rotationally moved by means of the drive device , are used, - characterized in that - a profiling device , which does not perform any helical bending of the supplied sheet-metal strip and performs the profiling of the peripheral regions of the supplied sheet-metal strip only at least partially, is used between the reel and the drive device ; - a supply device , which is connected to the drive device or to the profiling device , and which at the beginning of the production procedure of the container by way of a coupling device is releasably connectable to the sheet-metal strip that is able to be drawn off from the reel and supplies the latter to the drive device by way of the profiling device , is used, the connection between the supply device and the sheet-metal strip being released once the sheet-metal strip has been acquired by the drive device . <EOS>
