Silos
Silos store bulk material in volume and discharge it under gravity into the process below. The cone angle, wall finish and outlet size have to suit the flow behaviour of the material, because bridging, ratholing and segregation are all consequences of a hopper that does not match the product. Steel, stainless steel and concrete silos are fitted with level measurement, aeration, filters and discharge aids. Find global manufacturers of silos in our Equipment Guide.
