stainless steelaluminumcarbon steel

Overview
In industrial production and storage processes, safe, efficient and orderly storage of raw materials and products is of critical importance. Silos are one of the most effective storage solutions that meet this need.

Uses

• Agriculture: Storage of grain, feed and other agricultural products.
• Food: Storage of foodstuffs such as flour, sugar, coffee.
• Chemistry and Construction: Storage of powdered and granulated chemicals, materials such as cement and lime.

Benefits

• Space efficiency: More materials are stored in less space with vertical storage.
• Material quality preservation: Humidity, temperature and other environmental factors are kept under control.
• Operational efficiency: Fast filling and emptying are performed by integrating with automatic systems.

Products and Solutions (related to silos)

• Big Bag Filling Machine — FULLBAG: Enables fast and precise filling of big bags; effective for packaging materials taken from silos.
• Big Bag Emptying Machine — FREEBAG: Ensures materials inside big bags are safely and efficiently emptied into silos or production lines.
• Vacuum Conveying System — VACUMATE: Used to transport light and powdery materials during the filling and emptying of silos; provides dust-free and hygienic transfer with vacuum technology.
• Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying System — DENSPLUS: Provides pneumatic transportation of high-density materials over long distances; assists efficient filling/emptying of silos for heavy or dense materials.

Silo Design and Features
Material Selection: Options include stainless steel, carbon steel or aluminum to meet different needs.
Capacity: Silos can be designed in varying volumes according to requirements.
Additional Systems:

• Jet Pulse Filter: CLEANJET for dust control.
• Bin Activator: SILOCONE and Supporting Air System: AIRPLUS to solve flow problems.
• Precise dosing: Volumetric Feeder FEEDWELL and Gravimetric Feeder FEEDGRAM.

Advantages in operation

• Integration with conveying and dosing systems supports automated processes.
• Options for hygienic, dust-free transfer and storage of powders and granules.
• Design flexibility to adapt material, capacity and auxiliary equipment based on application.
