Silo Storage - Ingredient Batching Systems

For bulk material receipt and storage.

Storing large amounts of product without degradation in a manner that is easy to access can be a challenge for some productions. All of our vessels and bulk storage silos are emission free using the latest filter technology and come with efficient delivery systems, tailored to the product being stored.

Tailored to your specific application, our bulk storage silos are manufactured in aluminium or stainless steel.
Silos are supplied with all filtration equipment, explosion relief and dehumidification if required.
Silo loading is controlled using our fill control panels, and land-based blowers can also be provided to control the tanker delivery to the silo and reduce noise levels.
The silos are mounted on load cells with telemetry systems that can also be linked to remote monitoring.
The supply of silos can include the installation by our team of specialist engineers.

How Silo Storage Works

A few things need to be considered when incorporating silo storage;

How much material will be stored, usually in tons or Cubic feet and what are the characteristics of the material being stored.
Consideration of product degradation or segregation.
The discharge pattern that is preferred or required for the application, such as mass flow, funnel flow, expanded flow.
Is a flow aid device required for reliable discharge.

Our silo storage systems are suitable for inside or outside use, constructed out of aluminium, stainless or mild steel, or for flexible silos, woven trevira polyester. They can be designed for negative vacuum, positive pressure and can include explosion relief systems. We include access equipment such as ladders, platforms, manholes, windows and illumination.

Some of the common features on our silos:

Dehumidification systems for hygroscopic products and humid environments
Ventilation systems including heating and cooling as required
Tanker filling systems
Pneumatic filling and discharge systems
Loadcell weighing and point level measurement
Discharge equipment using vibratory, aeration and activation devices.
