Steel silo

<b>Product overview</b><br>The FAMA vertical silos are designed for outdoor storage of metal swarf to optimise collection and disposal operations. They are intended to be positioned against a wall to keep truck access along the silo side. Discharge is lateral; units can be supplied with a single or double discharge to separate materials.<br><br><b>Main features</b><br><ul><li>Containment tank in fully waterproof, weather-resistant painted steel</li><li>Hot-dip galvanized support structure</li><li>Custom design and sizing according to production requirements</li><li>Optional internal partitioning for two-material storage (double discharge)</li><li>Support structure delivered with certified structural calculation report</li><li>Loading by pneumatic or mechanical conveyor</li></ul><br><b>Description</b><br>The silos are sized to hold an adequate volume of chips to optimise disposal cycles (typically one week of production or more, depending on process). The self-braking motor and vertical door secure the unit against unauthorised access and allow controlled expansion if the structure was pre-dimensioned for such intervention.<br><br><b>Product data</b><br><ul><li>Type: vertical</li><li>Capacity: 10 ÷ 30 m³</li><li>Unloading position: lateral (single or double)</li><li>Motor power: 3 kW</li><li>Voltage: 230/400 V</li><li>Power supply: continuous</li></ul><br><b>SILO CAPACITY IN KG (approximate; depends on density and shape of swarf)</b><br>Silo capacity | Brass | Steel | Aluminium | Stainless steel | Copper | Cast iron<br>10 m³ | 8.000 | 10.000 | 5.000 | 9.000 | 8.000 | 10.000<br>20 m³ | 16.500 | 20.000 | 10.000 | 18.000 | 16.000 | 20.000<br>30 m³ | 25.000 | 30.000 | 15.000 | 27.000 | 25.000 | 30.000<br><br><b>Available optionals</b><br><ul><li>Load cells for weighing</li><li>Weight indicator</li><li>Electronic printer</li><li>Remote push-button panel</li></ul><br><b>Further technical characteristics</b><br><ul><li>Silo dimensions established according to production needs; normally sized for one week of production or more</li><li>Height of support columns defined by truck container height</li><li>Containment tank: sandblasted and coated with organic zinc paint; support structure: fully hot-dip galvanized</li><li>Double door ensures safe, controlled unloading for accurate dosing and distribution onto trucks</li><li>Support structure supplied with certified structural calculation report</li><li>Anchor bolts must be cast in concrete; depending on soil type, plinth or inverted beam foundations are possible</li></ul><br><b>Characteristics / technical specifications</b><br><ul><li>Brand: FAMA</li><li>Commercial name / model: VERTICAL</li><li>Type: vertical silo, outdoor installation, wall-mounted placement possible</li><li>Capacity (volume): 10 ÷ 30 m³</li><li>Discharge: lateral (double discharge option to split two materials)</li><li>Main motor power: 3 kW</li><li>Voltage: 230/400 V</li><li>Power supply mode: continuous</li><li>Materials / approximate weights by volume: see table above (values in kg for Brass, Steel, Aluminium, Stainless steel, Copper, Cast iron)</li><li>Surface treatment: tank sandblasted and painted with organic zinc coating; support structure hot-dip galvanized</li><li>Optional equipment: weighing load cells, weight indicator, electronic printer, remote control panel</li></ul>
