A Horizontal Silo is a specialized bulk storage system designed for safe and efficient handling of powders, grains, cement, fly ash, chemicals, pellets, and other dry bulk materials. Its low-profile horizontal structure makes it ideal for locations with height restrictions or where easy loading and unloading operations are required. Built using high-quality mild steel or stainless steel, horizontal silos offer excellent strength, durability, and long-term performance.

Equipped with features such as screw conveyors, discharge gates, level indicators, aeration systems, ladders, and maintenance platforms, horizontal silos ensure smooth material flow and minimal wastage. They are widely used in industries like construction, ready-mix concrete, agriculture, food processing, plastics, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals, where space optimization and mobility are essential. Horizontal silos can also be delivered as mobile units for easy transportation and rapid installation on job sites.

What is a Horizontal Silo?

A horizontal silo is a low-profile bulk storage vessel designed to store powders and fine granules at sites with height limitations or frequent relocation needs. Unlike vertical silos, the tank lies horizontally on a skid or support frame, simplifying loading, transport, installation and maintenance, while still ensuring sealed, contamination-free storage.

How Does a Horizontal Silo Work?

Material is pneumatically or mechanically filled through the top/side inlet with over-fill protection. Inside, aeration pads or fluidization nozzles promote smooth flow. An integrated screw conveyor or rotary feeder meters discharge to your process, while a pulse-jet dust collector keeps the system dust-tight during filling. Level sensors (min/max/continuous) provide inventory visibility, and the skid-mounted layout allows fast placement with minimal civil work.
