ATI's silos handle all manner of products from lime, cement (and most recently Daffodil bulbs) or any granular up to 2 mm dia. Supplied with or without screw fed conveyors, weigh batchers, rotary valves and vibrators where applicable/as required.
Vertical Gravity Silo
The vertical gravity fed silo comes in two sizes, 31 cu m or 45 cu m are economical in their use of ground space and are not inhibited by height restrictions. Proven in many industry sectors are sturdy and reliable. All silos are supplied with a 7.5 kW x 4 m screw feed conveyor (extension are available if required) and can also be supplied with a 1/2 tonne or 1 tonne weigh batcher with display programmer and electrical connections. ATI is able to offer assistance with the setting up of units and dismantling of same on completion of contract. We are very pleased to offer this service at a cost (depending on final destination) per site visit. Our service does not extend to (and the client is responsible for) all electrical and/or pneumatic supply, service, installation, connection etc. All/any labour and cranage required on site for offloading/loading and erection/dismantling of the silo and its associated equipment will be the responsibility of the client. The units must be positioned on a sound base. We can advise an absolute minimum specification for a concrete base, dependant on ground conditions, based on previous clients experience, of 4m x 4m x 300 mm deep, singularly or doubly reinforced, ensuring there is a minimum of 150 mm from top of base to reinforcing mesh to prevent intereference when installing the rawlbolts. (Recommended rawlbolt size M16 x 35P) Horizontal Silos
First introduced to our extensive fleet in 2002 and was built to ATI's client-influenced specification and with the assistance of the highly respected specialist fabricators Portasilo this most versatile and portable of silos, offer maximum positional versatility. Unlike the traditional vertical unit there is no requirement for purpose-built hard standing. This unit has proved popular with our environmental industry clients, can be positionioned with forklift or crane. At a cost of £55,000.00 each (new purchase), ready to operate, represents a significant investment for ATI's silo fleet, totalling 12 in 7 years. The simple-to-use unit is able to handle a wide range of powdered and granulated products up to approximately 2mm without the need for modification. It can be loaded to a 45' flat bed using a forklift and, although when on hard ground stands at an overall height of 11'8", in transit it consitutes a normal load of 16' high. This is merit to the fact that whilst the silo body sits on the lorry bed the supporting frame fits outside the edges of the bed and falls below it. Another of the design concepts means that when positioned to site the optimum angle of the integral screw feed conveyor is immediately achieved by the angle of the supporting frame. This resourceful desgin prevents bridging, thus minimising the need for flow aids. There is no denying that the combination of the practical experience of ATI and the design experience of Portasilo has culminated a truly innovative piece of equipment. Portasilo and ATI have achieved what they set out to do and are proud to offer the unit to the industry. It is available to hire from ATI Tank Hire Limited or purchase from Portasilo Limited.
