Standard silo for the reliable storage of large components
The AZO Standard Silo enables the outdoor storage of large quantities of bulk materials. The corrosion- and weather-resistant aluminum construction provides long-term protection for the silo against external influences and reduces maintenance requirements. This makes the solution particularly suitable for use in the plastics and food industries, as well as in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors.
Corrosion- and weather-resistant for outdoor use
The silo jacket and base frame are made of the corrosion- and weather-resistant aluminum alloy AlMg3. The robust material construction makes the standard silo maintenance-free and allows for outdoor installation. For applications with special requirements, the silo can be additionally insulated or constructed entirely of stainless steel. This allows the storage solution to be adapted to various operating conditions.
Safe Storage with the Right Equipment
The standard silo is designed for a design pressure of +45/-5 mbar and bulk densities of 0.6 or, alternatively, 1.0 kg/l. Filling lines with tanker truck couplings allow for filling by silo trucks. Exhaust filters and discharge devices are selected based on the system configuration and the bulk material. This allows the silo equipment to be specifically tailored to the requirements of the respective process.
Designed for a variety of bulk materials and processes
With a variety of accessories and discharge solutions, the standard silo can be integrated into different material flows. Level sensors, for example, help monitor the silo’s contents, while vibrating floors or aeration membranes ensure reliable discharge even for bulk materials that are difficult to handle. In addition, metering screws, screening machines, and samplers can be integrated into the system. This allows storage to be seamlessly linked to subsequent process steps—such as discharge, conveying, metering, and screening—as needed.
