Modular BM silos for plastic granules

What are modular BM silos?

BM silos are modular storage silos for plastic granules and similar dry bulk materials. Thanks to the modular construction, the silos can be used flexibly and are easy to adapt to different production environments.

The silos can be used as a stand-alone storage solution or as part of a complete material conveying system. This makes them suitable for companies that want to store, dose or convey plastic granules efficiently to machines, mixers or production lines.

Applications of BM silos

Modular BM silos are widely used in the plastics processing industry and at companies that work with granules or dry bulk goods.

Suitable for, among other things:

• Plastic granules
• Regrind and dry bulk goods
• Raw materials for injection moulding and extrusion
• Storage in recycling processes
• Storage for material conveying or dosing systems

Sectors:

• Plastics industry and injection moulders
• Extrusion companies and compounders
• Recycling companies
• Packaging industry
• Production companies with bulk storage

Advantages of modular BM silos

• Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
• Flexible and modular construction
• Many possible combinations
• Easy to modify or extend
• Quick and efficient assembly
• Suitable for integration with material conveying systems
• Can be used with existing and new installations
• Available with silo control system and various accessories
• Custom work possible per project
• Professional installation by Sebatec

Indoor and outdoor silos

BM silos can be used as an indoor silo or an outdoor silo. For indoor installation the main points are available space, headroom, accessibility and the connection to the internal conveying system.

For outdoor installation, factors such as weather, access, foundation, supply lines and safety play an important part. Sebatec helps you decide on the right set-up and, if required, takes care of the complete integration with piping and conveying systems.

Integration with material conveying

A BM silo rarely stands alone. In many projects the silo is part of a larger material conveying system. Think of conveying granules from the silo to machines, day bins, mixers or dosing units.

Sebatec can combine the silo with, among other things:

• Piping for material conveying
• Bends and couplings
• Filling and suction lines
• Control systems and level measurement
• Filters and venting
• Connections to existing installations

Custom work and extension

Thanks to the modular construction, BM silos are suitable for custom work. The installation can be matched to capacity, available space, the required routing and future extensions.

If your production environment changes later, a modular system can often be modified or extended. That makes BM silos interesting for companies that want to grow along with their production capacity.

Accessories and silo control system

For a complete installation, BM silos can be supplied with various accessories and control options. Think of components for filling, emptying, monitoring and linking to the material conveying system.

• Silo control system
• Level measurement
• Filters
• Filling lines and couplings
• Slide gate valves
• Piping
• Supporting structures
• Connection to an existing control system or installation
