HYDROMIX / SAMI SILMATIC 55/DE VERTICAL SILO

Yes, planning permission is generally required for vertical cement silos because they are not mobile. They are typically installed on permanent foundations and fixed in position, which means they are classed as permanent installations rather than temporary or movable equipment.

Vertical cement silos require a 3-phase, 32-amp power supply to operate effectively. This powers essential components, including the screw conveyor, level indicators, control panel, and filtration system.

Vertical cement silos must be positioned on a suitable concrete slab or hardstanding that can safely support their weight when fully loaded. A ground engineer should carry out a site survey to assess ground conditions and confirm the slab specification, including thickness, load-bearing capacity, and reinforcement.

Water tanks are only included as standard on full-specification vertical cement silo models. For other models, water tanks can be supplied on request. Depending on site requirements and available space, we can provide an integrated water tank or a separate, standalone water tank.

Vertical cement silos are supplied with a standard auger length of 6,500 mm, suitable for most typical site layouts and discharge requirements. If your site has specific space constraints, height restrictions, or unique equipment layouts, we can supply custom auger lengths.

No, a remote control is not included as standard on all vertical cement silos. It is supplied as standard only with the 32/DE-B silo model. For other vertical silo models, a remote control can be supplied as an optional extra.
