Advantages overview
- Save time and personnel with fully automated filling and loading of bulk materials
- Silo can be filled independently by the product supplier
- No dust formation, and therefore low emissions for operating personnel, due to closed system design
- Safe discharge of the bulk material
- Low energy input with large loading and storage capacity
- Space savings with compact design and large usable volumes
Silo sizes and dimensions are variable, and are adapted to each application. Various bulk materials can be stored and discharged.
