Horizontal silo Standard

for bulk materialssteel

General information
Horizontal cement silos provide a practical, flexible, and cost-effective solution for the storage and controlled dosing of cement and other powdered materials. With their compact and modular design, they eliminate the need for civil works, foundations, or complex assembly procedures. This makes them ideal for both mobile and stationary concrete plants, as well as construction sites with limited working space or frequent relocation requirements.

Construction and features
Manufactured from high-quality steel and protected with durable surface coatings, the silos are designed for long service life even under demanding working conditions. Each unit is equipped with an integrated aeration system, dust filter, safety valve, level sensors, and screw conveyor for continuous and reliable material discharge. The silos can be equipped with an electronic system that allows integration with existing mobile and stationary concrete plants. Their horizontal orientation allows for effortless transportation and quick on-site installation. Maintenance and cleaning are simple and safe, as all components are easily accessible. The discharge capacity is available in 15 m3/h, 25 m3/h, and 40 m3/h versions.

Advantages

• Engineered for long-term reliability: manufactured from high-quality structural steel to maintain full structural integrity during continuous operation.
• Smart integration ready: prepared for seamless integration with mobile mixing plants, with necessary electrical components and interfaces.
• Clean and efficient material flow: optimized discharge geometry, aeration systems, and dust filtration to minimize blockages, material loss, and dust emissions.
• Low maintenance, high availability: designed for simplicity and durability to require minimal maintenance and deliver maximum uptime.
• Transport-friendly by design: horizontal design simplifies transport, handling, and relocation between job sites.

FAQ

• Is the silo suitable only for cement or also for other bulk materials?: The silo is primarily designed for cement storage, but it is also suitable for a wide range of other dry bulk materials with similar physical properties, including fly ash, lime, mineral fillers, and other fine powders commonly used in the construction industry.
• Can the silo be integrated with a concrete batching plant or mobile mixing plant?: Yes. In its standard configuration, the silo is equipped with the necessary electrical components and interfaces that enable fast and straightforward connection to mobile mixing plants and concrete batching plants.
• What is the expected service life of the silo?: The expected service life is several decades when operated under normal conditions and with proper maintenance. The silo is designed in accordance with applicable international standards to ensure long-term durability and structural integrity.
• How long does installation take?: Installation is extremely fast and simple. The silo is delivered as a fully pre-assembled unit and does not require special foundations or complex civil works; installation typically involves mechanical positioning and basic electrical connections.
• Is the discharge continuous or batch-based?: The discharge is time-controlled via an adjustable timer allowing precise setting of discharge duration. It can also be started and stopped manually to provide full control and flexibility.
