Filling, storage and discharging with FAT 
Silo technology and discharge systems

The right silo technology for your bulk material  
Customised plant engineering from FAT

Our silo systems are specially customised to your requirements. Due to decades of experience in plant construction, we are also a competent partner for monitoring and discharge technology.

Silo technology in operation      

  • Pressure shock resistant and pressureless silos
  • Rotary valves
  • Pneumatic discharge devices
  • Venting filters
  • Wet and dry loading systems for trucks
  • Pneumatic silo filling
 
 

Silo systems for high demands

We design your silos individually and customise our engineering to your requirements. This also includes planning and equipping the silos with level measurement, insulation, venting filters, heating and weighing technology as well as dry and wet loading.

Rotary valves

The FAT rotary valve is used for continuous discharge of dust bulk material from silos and discharge hoppers.

Your advantages

High operational safety

Maintenance-friendly

Good accessibility to the maintenance areas

Pneumatic discharge device 

Material bridges in the cone of hoppers and silos often lead to discharge problems. Optimally placed nozzles in the discharge area, which are supplied with compressed air pulses via a compressed air distribution system, prevent the formation of bridges and make the bulk material flowable in the silo. Depending on the bulk material properties, different nozzle designs are used.

Your advantages

Individual design of the discharge devices

Sintered metal nozzles for abrasive bulk materials

Disc nozzles for non-abrasive bulk materials

Filter    

FAT vent filters are high-quality steel housings, which are very stable due to the well-placed stiffening profiles on the housing. The filter elements are cleaned of dust by periodic pulses of compressed air, which can be set on the control unit. The filters can optionally be equipped with differential pressure regulators and are suitable for outdoor installation.

Your advantages

Good accessibility to the filter cartridges

High operational safety

Differential pressure control

Suitable for outdoor installation

Pneumatic silo filling 

Bulk materials are delivered via a silo truck. The compressed air feed required for bulk material conveying is applied via the truck's compressor and supported by an additional air (air booster). The truck unloading station usually consists of the filling pipe line, a shut-off valve as overfill protection device, a connection coupling with a limit switch and the compressed air installation for the additional air. 

Your advantages

Wear-resistant conveying pipe line components

Local control device with visual and acoustic warning system

Overfill protection

Moistening mixers for wet loading

Moistening mixers ensure reliable mixing of bulk materials. The bulk material is continuously fed and moistened in the inlet area of the mixer.

The mixing trough consists of a flexible rubber jacket fixed in a steel housing. Low vibrations and kneading effects prevent caking of the mixed material on the rubber trough wall.

Your advantages

Easy to maintain and stable construction 

High operational safety

Self-cleaning rubber trough

Constantly good mixing quality

Dry loading systems    

FAT loading systems are used for loading fine- and coarse-grained bulk materials into closed silo trucks. The loading telescope can be coupled to the truck loading by an inflatable sealing sleeve. This sealing sleeve ensures a dust free loadaing to the truck.

Your advantages

Dust-tight loading due to inflatable sleeve

High operational safety

Long service life

Integrated level measurement

High loading capacities
