PERFORMANCE & VERSATILITY

Maximum mobility,
quick installation, operational efficiency.

Poggi Horizontal Silos provide a practical solution for temporary storage needs where flexibility, speed, and compactness are essential. Ideal for mobile construction sites, areas with limited access, and applications where civil works are to be avoided, they are designed to ensure stability, easy installation, and operational continuity.

Flexible installation

Adjustable telescopic legs allow the silos to be lifted independently, without cranes or external platforms. Installation takes only a few hours on flat surfaces, without fixed foundations.

Efficient material discharge

The internal structure optimizes material discharge, ensuring a continuous flow towards the extraction screw for precise and consistent dosing.

Robust construction

The hot-dip galvanized structure is engineered for robustness and long service life, even under challenging operating conditions.

Versatile configurations

Dual-compartment models allow different materials to be handled simultaneously. Accessories and control systems can also be integrated upon request.

ENGINEERED FOR PERFORMANCE

Poggi silos, the professional choice.

Integrated filter (Poggi S.p.A. patent) for efficient dust recovery.

Minimal environmental impact, thanks to the complete absence of dedicated civil works.

Adjustable screw for discharging material exactly where needed, offering great positioning flexibility.

Integrated weighing control for precise material management during loading and unloading operations.

Loading via pneumatic or mechanical system, adaptable to different site or plant configurations.

Flexible discharge height, allowing the silo to fit various plant layouts.

Quick assembly and disassembly thanks to swivel legs that simplify all operations.

Operation and Safety

Every structural detail of Poggi silos is designed to ensure operational efficiency and maximum safety during daily use. The solutions implemented are developed to facilitate operations, reduce intervention times, and guarantee reliable performance in any application context. From filling to discharge, each component is engineered for durability and simplified management. The entire structure is designed to ensure uniform loading and even material distribution, enhancing storage capacity and providing continuity and stability in dosing and discharge processes. The result is an efficient, safe, and consistent workflow, even with bulk materials of varying types.

LOADING SAFETY

Poggi silos are equipped with a safety system designed to prevent overpressure during pneumatic loading. To start loading, the operator connects the hose to the silo by moving a handle: this action activates an indicator on the control panel. Only at this point can the butterfly valve be opened from the control panel, allowing material to enter. This procedure ensures that loading occurs only when the silo is properly ready, preventing overloads or unsafe operations.

INSPECTION ACCESS HATCH

To facilitate inspection and maintenance operations, access hatches are strategically positioned at the spiral joints. This configuration allows direct and quick monitoring of critical points in the extraction system, simplifying technical interventions and reducing plant downtime.

TWO-WAY SAFETY SYSTEM

The silo is equipped with a two-way safety system to prevent overpressure or vacuum conditions.
In the event of a filter blockage, an electronic pressure sensor automatically stops loading by closing the butterfly valve.
If this first level of protection fails, a second mechanical system intervenes to rebalance the pressure inside the silo.

ADJUSTABLE TELESCOPIC LEGS

The silo is equipped with telescopic legs that ensure stability and adaptability in any operational context.
Height adjustment allows precise and quick positioning, reducing installation time.

Material Flow Management

Material
extraction.

Discharge system

Material extraction occurs by gravity through a conical lower hopper designed to facilitate discharge even with high-density or large-volume materials. Depending on the application, the system can be configured with butterfly valves, pneumatic valves and external screw conveyors.

Vibration systems

Electric vibrators or selective vibration systems can be installed to ensure complete silo emptying, even with difficult materials, reducing discharge times and preventing bridging or blockages.

Fluidization systems

Fluidization plates or nozzles introduce compressed air to keep powdery or lightweight materials in motion. Particularly suitable for cement, hydrated lime, fly ash and similar materials.

Material Flow Management

Material
dosing.

Volumetric dosing

Material dosing is performed via screw conveyor, regulating the operating time according to the silo's nominal flow rate. This ensures consistent material delivery and operational continuity, particularly in horizontal cement silo applications.

Electronic dosing with load cells

For applications requiring precise measurements and traceability, an integrated weighing system can be installed. Load cells connected to an electronic terminal support reliable measurements, cycle recording and recipe management.

Remote management and traceability

On request, dosing systems can be integrated with digital interfaces for remote control, data visualization and automatic reporting, supporting integration with automated plants.

Dust Filtration

Dust
filtration.

Upper filter

Mounted directly on the silo roof, the upper filter captures dust generated during pneumatic loading. Operating continuously and automatically, it helps maintain a cleaner working environment, reduces atmospheric emissions and protects the stored material from contamination. Different filtration solutions can be selected according to the characteristics and particle size of the materials being handled.
