Which cement silo is bested to your building site?

There are different types of storage silos available on the market each designed to hold different types of materials. In the building industry the low-level mobile cement silo and the upright static or vertical silo are used to hold and discharge cement or other powder materials such as PFA (Pulverised Fuel Ash) when needed.

A cement silo usually comes with a blower that helps in moving the contents into a batching plant or a concrete mixer truck. Low-level silos are ideal for easy transportation without the need for a foundation to place it on so can be placed exactly where needed minimizing time delays in mixing concrete.They come equipped with an electronic weighing system with digital display and printer to monitor with accuracy the content of the silo and quantities dispatched.

The mobile cement silos are the preferred choice on building sites because they are easily dismantled and transportable once the project is completed and contractors need to move on to their next assignment. They are perfect for use in conjunction with bin-fed concrete batching plants.

The cement silos as available to purchase from Utranazz are supplied to full EU specifications. They
conform to the latest safety regulations including fitment of high and low-level indicators, pressure relief valves, filtration units, safety ladders, rails and feed-pinch valves.

Vertical cement silos are an important part of a concrete mixing plant and are used to store bulk cement for dispatch to ready mix concrete plants. The sizing of a silo depends on the demands placed on it.

Cement silos are available to rent or as an outright purchase of either a new or used silo. Whichever option suits your business, Utranazz are likely to meet your construction fleet requirements so contact us today to discuss cement silos for sale or to hire.
