External Bulk Storage Silos

Silos are an efficient and simple way of storing powders or granular materials. They can yield many benefits to the processor, removal of the manual handling involved with 25 kg bags and reduced spillage, reduced fork lift truck activity on the shop floor.

Some shrewd processors even have arrangements whereby the level in the silo in monitored remotely by the material supplier who is responsible for maintaining the level of material in the silo, they are then billed at the end of the day only for the material they have used effectively reducing their material inventory to zero.
