Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 250kg to 2000kg per silo.

Construction material

Units are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel to ensure hygiene and durability.

Discharge mechanism

Commonly features a conical bottom with a butterfly valve or slide gate for controlled product discharge.

Footprint

The footprint for a 500kg silo typically requires approximately 1-2 square metres of floor space, plus height clearance.

Power supply

If equipped with agitation or conveying systems, units commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz).
