- Typical capacity
- Monolithic metal silos commonly range from 10 to 100 cubic metres, with larger bespoke options available.
- Material construction
- Typically constructed from stainless steel or food-grade aluminium for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Loading mechanism
- Commonly supports pneumatic conveying systems or volumetric mechanical transport for efficient filling.
- Discharge mechanism
- Units of this type frequently feature a vibrating cone for consistent product extraction and to prevent bridging.
- Internal surface finish
- Characterised by a smooth internal surface to minimise product accumulation and facilitate cleaning.
- Footprint
- Designed for external installation, requiring a stable, level concrete base for its skirt support.
- Power supply
- Ancillary equipment such as vibrating cones and loading systems typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz).
