If you’re on the hunt for innovative mixing and batching solutions- Sami horizontal silos are for you! These machines have a range of applications and, when compared with their vertically-designed counterparts, may be better suited to your specific build. Follow along as we outline how!

Uses Of A Horizontal Silo

A silo is a mobile container inclusive of a measuring device to store and discharge cement and other materials. Some of these materials include lime, sand and fly ash. We’d recommend a horizontal silo when remote work is necessary and reliability needs to be ensured. This is because they’re easy to transport, require no crane to aid with setting them up, and have a minimal impact on the construction area in which they are based.

Apart from the construction field, horizontal silos are perfect for use within the chemical, agriculture and ecological fields. With the ability to memorise up to 99 different dosages, this machine does the most to simplify operations for its users. Furthermore, Sami silos can be configured in many ways and are available in different load capacities. These qualities make them great for bearing both small and large loads.

Horizontal Or Vertical Silos- Which Is Better? 

To better answer the above question, we must look specifically at two things. Namely- where the machine will be based and what its established purpose will be. For example, horizontal silos are better suited for urban areas for roadwork and other construction projects. Vertical silos, on the other hand, are more suited to feeding contents into batching plants, mixer trucks and or industrial mixers.

Horizontal silos work well in instances where you find yourself with a lack of skyspace, or you’re stuck without a crane and or no anchoring options. They are great for use on short projects thanks to their quick-assemble, no-anchor-needed design. Horizontal silos can be made from either carbon plating or stainless steel, depending on whether they’ll be used for chemical or recycling purposes.
