chipbrasscopper

Product overview
The FAMA silos are designed for storage of metal chips to optimize handling and disposal operations. Bridge silos are built for outdoor installation; the arched structure allows trucks to transit beneath the silo, making them suitable where available space coincides with access roads. Discharge is located at the bottom and can be operated by bucket (clamshell) or guillotine.
