SILO SYSTEMS

Contemar silo systems are based on flexible silos in combination with a variety of scale hoppers and components, such as sifters, micro feeders and flow meters as well as weight and control processors. Bulk materials can be conveyed by negative and positive pressure systems. Standardized silo systems are available within a very short lead time and can immediately maximize profits. Contemar's standardized systems can be modified to fit the floor space and building height available.

VACUUM-PRESSURE SYSTEM

ALL-CON World Systems' Touchless P/D “Pot” System is a vacuum-pressure system that conveys product from the pot, much the way toothpaste is squeezed from a tube. The system is considered touchless because it does not require compressed air for conveyance-just enough air is used to keep the material fluid and flowing similar to a liquid- and because no motorized feeding devices are used.
