FAQs about Silos for baking lines
What types of raw materials can be stored in the silos?
Mainly flour (white, wholemeal, specialty), but also dry ingredients such as salt, sugar, improvers, seeds, and other powdered or fine-grain components.
Do you offer custom or standard silos?
Our silo solutions are tailored to each project—configured to fit your space, production rate, and the specific handling requirements of each ingredient.
What filling and facility requirements should be considered?
Silos are usually filled via pneumatic loading—by blowing or vacuum systems—from bulk tankers.
To enable this, the facility must include a designated outdoor access area with space for large trucks and a direct link to the silo intake.
What type of weighing technology is implemented?
Our systems use dynamic weighing hoppers equipped with load cells, ensuring accurate ingredient dosing.
Each unit is fully integrated with the control system and synchronized with the production line.
What safety and environmental features do the silos offer?
Our silos are equipped with dust filtration units, pressure relief valves, level sensors, temperature monitoring, and internal cleaning systems, tailored to the type of ingredient stored.
How do you ensure traceability of ingredients?
Through integrated batch tracking, each silo is assigned to specific lots using software, enabling full traceability throughout the production process.
Is it possible to integrate multiple silos into a single line?
Absolutely. You can combine silos with different ingredients and configure dosing strategies—parallel or sequential—to match your production needs..
How do the storage systems integrate with the rest of the line?
Total connectivity: ingredient storage is fully synchronized with mixing, adjusting volumes and timing according to the selected recipe and production speed.
