Automatic filling system

silofor bulk materialsfor granulates

Overview
In industrial storage and production processes, silo filling systems provide controlled transfer of powders and granular materials into storage silos using dense-phase pneumatic, vacuum conveying and pulse‑jet filtration technologies. These systems focus on enclosed transport, dust control and continuous filling to support safe, hygienic and efficient operations.

Benefits

• Higher throughput: Continuous and fast filling adapts to production rates.
• Improved safety: Enclosed conveying and filtration minimize dust and spillage risks.
• Lower operating costs: Automation reduces manual handling and downtime.

Products and Solutions

• Dense Phase Pneumatic Conveying — DENSPLUS: dense-phase transport for high-density powders and granules over long distances.
• Vacuum Conveying — VACUMATE: vacuum-based transfer for light or powdery materials with hygienic, dust-reduced operation.
• Jet Pulse Filter — CLEANJET: pulse-jet filtration to capture dust during filling, reduce emissions and prevent product loss.

Operational impact
Appropriate silo filling systems increase plant throughput, enhance process safety and reduce material loss by combining suitable conveying technology with filtration and automation.

Selection criteria

• Material properties: particle size, fluidity, bulk density and abrasiveness.
• Required filling rate: match system capacity to production throughput.
• Dust control and hygiene: filtration level, containment and cleanability.

Applications
Silo filling solutions are used for powders and granular materials across plastics, chemical, mineral, food, cable compound and bulk-handling industries where controlled, hygienic and dust-minimized transfer is required.
