Ommix Raw Material Storage Silos
Definitive Solutions to Flow and Separation Problems
Ommix Raw Material Storage Silos are designed for the safe, hygienic, and uninterrupted storage of bulk materials such as powders, granules, and especially PVC mixtures in industrial facilities. With our advanced engineering solutions, we eliminate four major flow problems commonly encountered in silos: bridging, rathole formation, incomplete emptying, and separation. With superior technology, occupational safety standards, and easy maintenance, Ommix silos take your storage processes to a new level.
Specifications of Ommix Raw Material Storage Silos
Flow Guarantee with Bin Actuator: The bin actuator (vibrating conical actuator) integrated into the bottom of our silos ensures continuous and fully controlled material flow. This special system effectively prevents bridging and rat-holing problems, which can occur even with sticky or high-calcite materials. Thus, incomplete discharge problems are avoided, and all material inside the silo is discharged without issues. At the same time, it minimizes separation tendencies at the bottom by ensuring a homogeneous flow of material.
Flow Control with Vibration Motorized Inverted Conical Separator and Separation Blades: We offer a revolutionary solution to the segregation problem that occurs during material flow, especially in tall silos: a vibration motorized inverted conical separator (distributor) placed at the top of our silos. This intelligent system ensures that the material entering the silo is distributed homogeneously throughout the entire silo area. Thus, materials with different particle sizes are separated according to their weight, preventing agglomeration and separation, and ensuring a consistently homogeneous mixture.
Intelligent Inventory Management: Real-time material tracking and automatic control via level sensors. Optional real-time weight tracking is also possible with load cells located on the silo legs.
Superior Safety and Easy Maintenance: Ladders and railings that comply with occupational safety standards simplify cleaning and maintenance processes.
Cost and Efficiency: Reduces the need for manual intervention, prevents raw material loss, and increases overall operational efficiency.
Customization and Durability: Each project features bespoke design, high-quality materials, and long-lasting use.
Material and Construction: Manufactured from durable sheet metal coated with corrosion-resistant paint or stainless steel (AISI 304, 316) for high hygiene standards. Its conical structure optimizes material flow.
Customizable Sizes: Each facility is custom-designed and manufactured in a wide range of sizes and diameters to suit its installation area and production capacity.
Level Sensors: Thanks to the precise level sensors in our silos, you can monitor your material stock levels in real time. This feature simplifies inventory management, prevents production interruptions, and supports integration with automated feeding systems.
Easy Cleaning and Workplace Safety: Cat ladders designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, and safety railings are standard features. All our designs fully comply with workplace safety standards, ensuring safe access and cleaning for personnel.
Ideal for PVC Mixtures: Optimized especially for materials with challenging flowability or critical homogeneity, such as PVC mixtures. Silo interior surfaces can be reinforced with special coatings (e.g., solvent-free epoxy paint) depending on the material properties.
Areas of Application
• Plastics and Polymer Industry: Particularly PVC blends, plastic granules, and masterbatches.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry: Chemical powders, granular raw materials.
• Food and Beverage Industry: Flour, sugar, spices (with designs that comply with hygienic conditions).
• Agriculture and Feed Industry: Grains, seeds, animal feed.
• Mining and Mineral Industry: Coal, ore, minerals.
Frequently Asked Questions
What flow problems do Ommix silos solve?
Ommix silos definitively solve bridging, rathole, incomplete discharge, and separation problems with specialized systems such as bin actuators and vibrating motor-driven inverted conical separators.
What is the purpose of a bin actuator in a silo?
Placed at the bottom of silos, bin actuators ensure a continuous and controlled flow of material, preventing blockages, bridging, and incomplete unloading.
What is the purpose of a vibrating motor-driven inverted conical separator?
Especially in tall silos, this system, placed at the top of the silo, ensures homogeneous distribution of the material, preventing segregation and preserving the quality of the mixture.
How is the material level monitored in Ommix silos?
Thanks to the level sensors in our silos, the material stock status can be monitored in real time, which enables efficient stock management and automation.
