Silos, hoppers and conveyors designed around your specific material, plant and capacity — from raw material intake through to dosing it into the process.
Storing and conveying bulk materials is the foundation of any reliable production. We adapt the design to the specific material — its bulk density, particle size, moisture, abrasiveness and its tendency to absorb moisture or to arch. That way the material flows where it should, in the quantity the process needs, and without unnecessary downtime.
We design and manufacture hoppers and silos to measure — in steel, with internal treatments against material build-up where needed. We work out the shape of the discharge cone and the wall angles so that the material feeds down reliably, we add discharge aids (vibrating bottoms, aeration, bridge breakers) and, where required, integrated weighing on load cells for continuous stock records.
Cylindrical steel silos are supplied in capacities of 40–80 t, in either carbon or stainless steel. Depending on whether the silo may need to be moved later, we build it bolted — and therefore transportable — or welded and anchored directly to the foundation. The bolted version is also modular, so it can be extended or rebuilt without replacing the whole vessel.
To link the individual stages of the technology we choose the type of conveying according to the material and the geometry of the plant:
We design every route as a whole — including transfer chutes, enclosures, dust extraction and safety features — so that it is tight, quiet and easy to access for maintenance.
Storage and conveying rarely stand alone. Most often they form the intake section of a line that continues with dosing and processing and ends with packaging and dispatch. This lets us design the material flow as one continuous chain — with no bottlenecks at the interfaces.
Describe your process and we will propose the best route.
