Constmach 50-Tonne Cement Silo Installed in England

Constmach has installed a 50-tonne capacity cement silo for a customer in England, marking the first Constmach equipment to be taken into operation in the United Kingdom. Of welded construction and fitted with a screw conveyor and air filter, the silo provides reliable on-site cement storage and represents an important first step for the company in the British market.

A First Installation in the UK

This silo is the first piece of Constmach equipment to enter operation in the United Kingdom, an important milestone for the manufacturer. The British construction sector sets high standards for quality and reliability, and establishing a first reference here demonstrates the customer's confidence in Constmach. It also opens the door to further opportunities across the UK market.

Robust Welded Construction

The silo is of welded type, a construction method that produces a strong, sealed structure well suited to permanent installation. Welded silos offer excellent rigidity and a tight seal against moisture, helping to keep stored cement in good condition. This robust build ensures the unit will provide dependable service over a long working life on site.

50-Tonne Storage Capacity

With a 50-tonne capacity, the silo provides ample on-site cement storage to support continuous production. Sufficient storage allows the operator to keep work running through busy periods without frequent deliveries, improving efficiency. This capacity is well matched to the needs of a concrete production operation requiring a steady, reliable supply of binder.

Screw Conveyor for Cement Transfer

The silo is equipped with a 219 x 8.000 mm screw conveyor, which moves cement from the silo to the batching process in a controlled, efficient manner. A correctly sized screw conveyor ensures a steady flow of binder, supporting accurate batching and smooth operation. This makes the transfer of material from storage to mixer both reliable and consistent.

24 m2 Air Filter

A 24 m2 air filter is fitted to the silo to manage dust during filling and to relieve internal pressure as cement is loaded. An effective filter keeps the working environment cleaner and helps protect the silo from over-pressure during pneumatic charging. This contributes to safer, more environmentally responsible operation on site, an important consideration in the United Kingdom where dust control and site cleanliness are closely regulated and expected by both operators and neighbouring communities.

Strengthening Constmach in the UK

This installation reflects Constmach's commitment to supplying quality equipment to customers across new markets, including the United Kingdom. The company wishes its client a successful business and many productive years of operation, and looks forward to building a lasting presence in the British construction sector.
