How to achieve the complete unloading of the silos? Having trouble discharging low fluidity materials?

When dealing with a raw material of difficult flowability, silo unloading becomes a problem. For example, materials such as animal-origin flours, soy expeller, or pellets with fines, are cases where the flowability is very low, so in most cases, workers have to enter the silos to achieve complete emptying, putting their safety at risk. It's common to hear that workers enter to shovel the silos or hit them from the outside to unload the raw materials. This will no longer be a problem with the installation of Silo Unloaders offered by Clivio Solutions, flexible, resistant, and reliable equipment for handling all types of materials, especially those of difficult flowability.

The systems feature a screw that rotates around its axis and also rotates across the entire circumference, both in flat-bottomed and conical silos. With the installation of these systems, you will gain several benefits:

  1. SAFETY: Prevent putting workers' lives at risk
  2. FOOD SAFETY: Prevent product stagnation (rat holing) that could generate unwanted microorganisms, affecting food quality
  3. TRACEABILITY: Ensure traceability by making sure the first thing in is the first thing out (FIFO)
  4. CAPACITY: Ensure complete filling and emptying of the silos, utilizing their maximum capacity

In the following video, you can observe the unloading of a conical and flat-bottomed silo with the Silo Unloader and its comparison to a conventional system: www.youtube.com/embed/dJ4152lvzAg
