Silo – Safe and efficient storage for bulk materials

Industrial silos provide controlled storage for dust, sawdust, shavings, pellets, granules and other bulk materials generated or used in production. Tehno Filter silos are engineered around the material, storage volume and operating conditions, with options for filtration, fire protection and ATEX applications.

ABOUT SILOS

What are industrial silos and when should you use them?

Industrial silos are large storage structures designed to hold significant quantities of bulk material under controlled conditions. They are commonly used for sawdust, wood shavings, chips, pellets, granules and similar process materials that need to be collected, stored and discharged in an organised way. The silo configuration is selected according to the characteristics of the stored material, required volume, available space and downstream handling system.

What determines the right silo design?

Several factors influence the design of the storage system, including: material type and particle size, storage volume, bulk density, moisture content, stickiness, material acidity.

INDUSTRIAL STORAGE SILO

FS

FS is an industrial storage silo designed for bulk materials such as sawdust, shavings, wood chips, pellets and granules. The silo can be configured in different capacities and structural shapes depending on storage requirements and the characteristics of the material being handled. For systems where material is pneumatically conveyed into the silo, a self-cleaning bag filtration unit can be installed at the top to separate the transport air from the stored material.

APPLICATIONS

Where industrial silos are used

Silos are used wherever large quantities of bulk material need to be stored safely and integrated with extraction, conveying or production systems.

WOOD PROCESSING

Storage of collected sawdust, chips and other wood residues from central extraction systems.

FURNITURE PRODUCTION

Central storage for material collected from multiple woodworking machines and production lines.

PELLET PRODUCTION

Controlled storage of processed bulk material before transport or further handling.

PNEUMATIC CONVEYING

Integration with pneumatic transport systems that move dust and bulk material from production equipment into the silo.

CENTRAL DUST EXTRACTION

Storage of dust and particulate separated by filters and cyclones before downstream processing or disposal.

INDUSTRIAL BULK STORAGE

Suitable wherever dry bulk material needs to be stored in a controlled, enclosed structure.

SAFETY & SYSTEM INTEGRATION

Designed around storage and protection

TOP FILTRATION

A self-cleaning bag filter can be installed at the top of the silo to filter air used during pneumatic loading.

FIRE PREVENTION

The top section can incorporate a fire-prevention ring with dedicated spray nozzles designed to help suppress developing fire conditions.

ATEX PROTECTION

Where potentially explosive dust is handled, explosion-proof panels can be installed at the top of the silo as part of the ATEX safety concept.

DISCHARGE INTEGRATION

The silo can be integrated with rotary valves, screw conveyors or dedicated silo extractors for controlled material discharge.

WHY TEHNO FILTER SILOS

Built around the material and the process

CUSTOM CAPACITY

Silo dimensions and volume are selected according to required capacity and material characteristics.

MULTIPLE GEOMETRIES

Cylindrical, conical and rectangular structural forms allow the silo to be adapted to different installations.

INTEGRATED FILTRATION

Top-mounted filtration allows pneumatically transported material to enter the silo while separating the conveying air.

SAFETY OPTIONS

Fire-prevention and ATEX features can be incorporated where the stored material or process requires additional protection.
