What types of coffee can be stored in these silos?

These silos are designed for storing green coffee beans, roasted coffee beans, and specific configurations are available for ground coffee, including natural degassing systems.

Are these silos suitable for outdoor installation?

While some industrial silos can be specified for outdoor use, coffee storage silos are typically installed indoors to maintain optimal environmental conditions for the product. Buyers should confirm with the seller for specific unit suitability.

How are these silos typically filled and emptied?

Silos are commonly filled via pneumatic conveying systems or bucket elevators from upstream processes. Emptying is typically achieved through screw conveyors, vibratory feeders, or pneumatic transfer to downstream equipment.

Can these silos be integrated into an existing control system?

Units of this nature are often designed with interfaces for integration into a plant's central control system, allowing for automated filling, discharge, and level monitoring. Specific integration capabilities should be discussed with the seller.

What maintenance is typically required for these silos?

Routine maintenance typically involves periodic cleaning, inspection of seals and gaskets, and checking the functionality of associated conveying and discharge mechanisms. Specific schedules depend on usage and product type.
