Storage silos for granular products

Enhance storage efficiency and flexibility with modular silos, ensuring precise monitoring and easy inspection for optimal handling of semolina, flour, and grains in your production line.

Stores and Monitors Granular Products Efficiently

The SC Sectional Storage Silos from GEA, a leader in storage solutions, are engineered to meet the complex demands of food and agricultural industries. These silos are designed with a modular construction, allowing for variable volumetric capacity tailored to your specific requirements. Notable for their conical base and cylindrical body, they ensure optimal storage and handling of granular products like semolina, flour, and grains. Easily inspect and clean with walkable tops and strategically placed hatches, supported by a painted carbon steel structure, with optional stainless-steel configurations for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance.

Designed for continuous and manual operations, these silos are equipped with min/max level probes and a microimpulse probe for precise product level monitoring. Ideal for producing pasta, bread, and breakfast cereals, they integrate seamlessly into existing production lines, contributing to streamlined storage and monitoring workflows. With its efficient use of space and robust construction, the SC Sectional Storage Silos ensure that your storage needs are met with precision and reliability.
