New SIAG Lime Silo 16m3 with Ancillary Equipment

• Water treatment plants for pH adjustment and flocculation.
• Wastewater treatment facilities for neutralisation and sludge conditioning.
• Chemical processing industries requiring controlled lime addition.
• Food processing for pH control, purification, and sanitation.
• Construction material production for mortar, plaster, and cement additives.

Typical capacity

Silos in this class commonly range from 10 m³ to 50 m³ for lime storage.

Footprint

For a 16 m³ unit, the diameter is typically around 2.4 metres, with a total height of approximately 8 metres.

Power supply

Ancillary equipment such as the dust filter and dosing system commonly require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, with low power consumption for individual components (e.g., 0.13 kW for a filter motor).

Material of construction

Typically constructed from steel, suitable for outdoor installation and handling calcium oxide (lime).

Ancillary equipment

Units of this type commonly include safety devices, dust filters, level detectors, and a filling line with standard tanker connections.

Discharge mechanism

Often equipped with a dedicated lime discharge dosing system for controlled and even material flow.

Tanks and silos for food handling and storage are valued for their durability and reliability when purchased used. Buyers typically prioritize stainless steel construction for hygiene compliance and corrosion resistance. Key considerations include checking internal condition, seal integrity, and compliance with food safety standards. Industry sentiment reflects that quality used tanks offer significant cost savings whilst maintaining performance. Common strengths include longevity, straightforward maintenance, and compatibility with existing production lines. Proper inspection before purchase remains essential for operational safety.
