What is a '3 Group Silo set'?

This typically refers to a system comprising three individual silos designed to work together, often for storing different grades or types of product, or for increased overall capacity.

What is a 'Diverter valve' used for?

A diverter valve is used to direct the flow of material from a single inlet to multiple outlets, or vice versa, allowing for controlled distribution between the silos or to subsequent processing stages.

Are these silos suitable for liquids?

Silos of this design are typically intended for dry, free-flowing bulk solids. They are generally not suitable for liquids without significant modification and sealing.

What does 'Ex.works Heathrow' mean?

Ex.works (EXW) Heathrow means the buyer is responsible for all costs and risks associated with collecting the equipment from its current location near Heathrow and transporting it to their site.

Can these silos be used outdoors?

While robust, mild steel components like the framework and pipework would typically require weatherproofing or painting for outdoor use to prevent corrosion. Stainless steel silos themselves are more resistant.

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Applications & Use Cases

Storage of bulk dry goods such as grains, powders, or granules in food processing.
Holding roasted coffee beans or ground coffee in large-scale coffee production facilities.
Intermediate storage for ingredients in bakeries or snack food manufacturing.
Buffering material flow between different stages of a production line.
Storing animal feed ingredients or other agricultural products.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity per silo: For units of this size (approx. 1.55m diameter x 1.8m tall), capacities commonly range from 3,000 to 5,000 litres, depending on material density.
Construction material: Silos for this application are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene, while supporting frameworks are often mild steel.
Power supply for ancillaries: Diverter valves and motors commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
Footprint: A set of three silos of this diameter would require a significant floor area, plus space for the framework and associated pipework.
Discharge mechanism: Units of this type commonly feature a conical bottom with an outlet for gravity discharge, often assisted by a rotary valve or screw conveyor (not specified as included).
Maintenance requirements: Routine maintenance typically involves checking motor bearings, seals on diverter valves, and inspecting internal surfaces for wear or corrosion.
