Stores and conditions liquid ingredients for dosing

The tanks for liquids, fats, oils and syrups from Agriflex are monolithic stainless-steel vessels designed for indoor or outdoor installation in food plants. Built as seamless, single-piece structures, they provide hygienic storage for liquid oils, melted fats, glucose syrups and similar ingredients, with minimal risk of leakage.

Tanks are typically equipped with load cells, a control unit and high/low level probes, enabling precise inventory management and automatic dosing into mixers or cookers. Depending on the medium, they can include a heat-exchange jacket with insulation, internal temperature control, and a scraper or agitator sized to maintain homogeneity and avoid fat crystallisation or phase separation.

By integrating these tanks with dosing points and cooling or fermentation systems, you can feed recipes with repeatable quantities of liquid margarine, vegetable oils or sugar syrups while controlling viscosity and temperature. This reduces manual drum handling and improves both hygiene and line uptime.

Stores powders in self-supporting polygonal silos

The ESA silos from Agriflex are self-supporting panel silos made of AISI stainless steel, engineered specifically for food ingredients like flour and sugar. Butt-welded panels with external reinforcing ribs eliminate the need for internal tie-rods and flange couplings, improving hygiene and leak tightness compared with conventional panel silos.

Their regular polygonal geometry avoids right angles and stagnation zones, promoting complete, controlled emptying of the contents. This minimises ingredient build-up, simplifies cleaning and reduces the risk of product degradation. ESA silos are typically installed indoors, equipped with fabric or steel covers, and can be tailored in height and section to match your building constraints.

Connected to pneumatic conveying or screw discharge systems, they integrate into automated storage and dosing plants for industrial bakeries, biscuit lines and confectionery production. By combining ESA silos with Agriflex dosing, cooling and fermentation systems, you can stabilise dough quality while reducing manual handling and warehouse complexity.

Stores food powders in flexible fabric containers

The fabric silos from Agriflex are modular indoor silos designed for storing food powders such as flour and sugar, as well as selected plastic granules. A galvanised or painted steel frame supports a Trevira® technical fabric container that is approved for food contact and offers high mechanical strength with antistatic properties.

Because the silos are assembled from modules, you can adapt their footprint and height to available space or install them in a dedicated technical room. The breathable fabric and optimised cone design promote reliable discharge into conveying lines or weighing hoppers, while optional fluidisation and level sensors maintain flow.

Typical capacities range up to about 125 m³ per silo, allowing you to centralise raw-material storage even in plants with low ceiling heights. Compared to bagged ingredients, you cut packaging waste and labour, and you gain better control over traceability and recipe dosing when combined with Agriflex dosing systems.

Stores and feeds bulk powders automatically

The stainless steel silos from Agriflex are designed for storing powdered raw materials for the food industry and feeding them directly into your dough or mixing lines. Built either as bolted panel silos for indoor installation or as monolithic welded silos for outdoor use, they give you layout flexibility while maximising storage volume.

Smooth internal surfaces minimise product retention and make cleaning easier, while steep cone angles and optimised geometry support reliable, first-in/first-out discharge. Integrated level measurement and weighing options let you monitor inventory in real time and automatically dose flour or sugar into downstream pneumatic conveying or weighing systems.

You can configure silo capacity, diameter and height for your plant’s footprint, and integrate pneumatic loading from bulk trucks or bag emptying systems. By centralising storage, you reduce forklift traffic, bag waste and operator exposure to dust, while improving recipe accuracy and traceability across shifts.

Unloads and Sweeps Non-Free-Flowing Silo Materials

The Hydraugyre from Morillon Systems is a hydraulic silo screw unloader designed to tackle the challenge of discharging difficult, non-free-flowing materials stored in flat-bottom silos. Its unique system employs a hydraulic transmission that drives an Archimedes screw, enabling high torque at low speeds. This configuration achieves smooth, 360° sweeps of silo contents while supporting FIFO (first in, first out) unloading. The Booster start-up system allows operation from a full silo, irrespective of the screw’s initial position, enhancing operational flexibility.

Ideal for industries such as food processing, agriculture, chemical, and biomass, the Hydraugyre manages a wide array of materials—from wood pellets and grain to powdered chemicals and minerals. It supports silos ranging from 2 to 27 meters in diameter, with discharge capacities up to 600 cubic meters per hour, adapting to various operational demands.

The Hydraugyre is plug-and-play, making installation straightforward and space-efficient. In terms of material and environmental adaptability, options include ATEX certification for explosive atmospheres and designs for high-temperature conditions (up to 150°C). Additionally, it offers stainless steel construction and the use of food-grade or biodegradable lubricants as part of Morillon’s eco-friendly Green System.

Engineered for durability and reliability, the system provides ease of maintenance—even under full-load conditions—ensuring minimal production disruption. This solution seamlessly integrates into existing setups, offering a significant upgrade in efficiency and reliability for large-scale storage and material handling operations.

Ensures Consistent Discharge of Bulk Materials

The Vibration Bin Discharger “ExtraVib” Type EVK from Hosokawa Solids is engineered to tackle the complex task of consistent bulk material flow. With its mass flow principle, it prevents segregation and reduces clearance volumes, ideal for ensuring high load capabilities in storage silos. Designed for industries ranging from chemicals to food and pharmaceuticals, it supports diverse applications such as pigment production, cathode material handling for batteries, and granulated sugar processing. The EVK model’s vibration technology promotes even discharge and dosing accuracy, crucial for continuous operations. Constructed in various configurations, including hygienic designs, it complies with industry standards for cleanliness and efficiency. Available in corrosion-resistant materials, its robust design proves essential for demanding environments with options for custom engineering to fit specific process needs.
