Storage matched to the overall plant concept
The most suitable storage solution depends on crop types, product behaviors, batch sizes, number of varieties, required capacity, available space and process flow.
We take into account:
- products and flow behavior
- number of varieties and batches
- required storage capacity
- indoor or outdoor installation
- filling and discharge concept
- cleaning access
- requirements for clean product handling
- integration into new or existing plants
Round silos
Round silos are used when larger quantities need to be stored compactly and space-efficiently. They are particularly designed for outdoor installation and are combined with appropriate filling, emptying and ventilation systems depending on the products, capacity and plant layout.
Applications
- grain
- corn
- oilseeds
- seed
- agricultural products
- temporary storage before or after processing steps
Rectangular silos
Rectangular silos are suitable when building height and floor space need to be used efficiently. They can be designed as compact storage blocks and adapted to product, cell size, number of varieties and material flow.
Depending on the requirements, different wall and cell designs are used. For sensitive products, smooth, easy-to-clean designs may be appropriate. For bulk materials with good flowability, profiled or modular designs can offer a cost-effective solution.
Description
- efficient use of building space
- multiple storage cells in a compact area
- adaptation to product and batch size
- easy access for cleaning and maintenance
- suitable for residue-free storage concepts
Filling and discharge
Silo plants are always planned together with suitable filling and discharge conveyors. Products must be conveyed gently, reliably and with minimal residues.
Conveyors
- belt conveyors with discharge car
- belt conveyors for longitudinal and cross dustribution
- chain conveyors
- round conveyors
- bucket elevators
