STB provide creative bulk storage silos, silo discharge solutions and innovate feed and conveying systems, for the storage and handling of food ingredients, plastic pellets, powders and polymers, fine chemicals and mineral storage.
Silo discharge systems we offer in this range include:
STB Engineering’s manufacturing division designs, fabricates, builds and installs all types of bulk storage silos. From tanker delivery to silo and corresponding downstream distribution, STB can offer a complete solution for bulk storage and discharge transfer. Silos manufactured in aluminium and stainless steel makes them easily cleanable, hygienic and long-lasting storage solutions.
Other benefits of STB bulk storage silos include the enabling of processing operations to reduce inventory costs, labour, and materials whilst increasing the line-up time throughout.
The design and geometry of a silo and its discharge system can affect the way products are discharged. The pattern of flow and type of discharge is dependent on many factors, but the two main types are:
When it comes to the silo discharge with core flow, most silos, hoppers and bins give core flow due to the shallow cone and small outlet which is usually set by the materials flow and friction factor.
For solo discharge with mass flow, this is primarily best used for those with steeper cones and larger outlets achieved. Careful design dependant on product characteristics and silo geometry can produce mass flow where the product moves and discharges from the silo en-masse.
We can accommodate storage silos up to 4.2m diameter and over 20m in length in our workshops/factory. We specialise in the production of food quality stainless steel/aluminium as well as painted mild steel construction. With all our silo storage systems, we offer FEA and the latest Solidworks & AutoCAD design as well steelwork and support structures for a complete storage silo installation.
Our design and building expertise combined with high quality of finish of our bulk storage silos for sale has led to our customers coming back to us time and time again. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us at STB Engineering for more information, or to further discuss your needs.
