STORAGE SILO
pneuCONVEYOR’s storage silos are designed for the reliable storage and handling of dry bulk materials, including grains, cement, coal, plastics, and powders. Engineered to support manufacturing efficiency, safety, and process continuity, our silos provide high-capacity storage within a compact footprint. Gravity-based discharge minimizes reliance on mechanical conveying, while silo design ensures consistent material flow and reduces risks of degradation, contamination, or segregation.
To address varying material characteristics, silos are available in conical, flat-bottom, and mass-flow configurations, with optional flow aids such as vibrators, air pads, or fluidization systems. Integrated safety features—including dust collection, aeration, and explosion protection—meet rigorous industrial and environmental standards.
Fabrication options include carbon steel, stainless steel, and specialty alloys, with protective linings and coatings tailored to material compatibility. pneuCONVEYOR silos are installed across diverse sectors such as mining and aggregates, plastics, food processing, power generation, chemical processing, and waste treatment, delivering proven performance in demanding operating environments.

Integration of Pneumatic Conveying Systems into Storage Silo Systems:-
Pneumatic conveying systems play a critical role in the efficient transfer, handling, and management of dry bulk materials entering or leaving a storage silo. These systems transport materials using controlled airflows (positive pressure, negative pressure, or a combination of both) and seamlessly interface with the silo’s mechanical and structural components to ensure safe, reliable, and dust-free operation.
1. Material Infeed to the Silo – Pneumatic conveying systems transfer material from trucks, process lines, or upstream equipment directly into the silo. Integration includes:
• Fill lines and conveying pipelines terminating at the silo’s top or side inlets
• Airlocks or rotary valves regulating material entry without loss of conveying pressure
• Receiving filters or vent filters at the silo top to separate conveying air from incoming material
This ensures continuous, controlled loading while preventing over-pressurization or dust emissions.
2. Silo Venting, Filtration & Pressure Protection – Because pneumatic systems influence internal pressure, the silo requires:
• High-efficiency dust collectors to vent conveying air
• Pressure and vacuum relief valves to protect the structure
• Level indicators to prevent overfilling
These subsystems work together to maintain safe airflow and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
3. Material Discharge from the Silo – Integrated pneumatic conveying can also be used to extract material from the silo and deliver it to downstream processes such as mixing, batching, blending, or packaging.
Key components include:
• Discharge airlocks / rotary valves for controlled flow
• Dense-phase or dilute-phase conveying lines depending on material characteristics
• Blower or vacuum pumps sized for material type and conveying distance
This integration ensures consistent discharge flow rates and prevents bridging or rat-holing inside the silo.
4. Automation & System Control Integration – Smart conveying systems interface with the silo’s plant controls (PLC/HMI) to coordinate:
• Feed rates
• Silo filling sequences
• Pressure setpoints
• Filter cleaning cycles
• Safety interlocks
• Diverter valve positions
This creates a fully synchronized, automated storage and conveying solution.
