Posted in: , on 19. May. 2007 - 16:56

dear sirs ,

we would like to know if you can supply small silo bins for wheat flour storage to be installed in the bakeries..

we aim to buy silos from 5 tonnes to 15 / 20 tonnes capacity steel silos to be installed in the bakeries for their daily need of wheat flour .. We plan to deliver wheat flour in bulk by silobus trucks to our regular customers .. These trucks have capacity of abt 15 - 20 tonnes and we plan to distribute wheat flour from this truck to our customers small silos by pumping from truck to the silo inside the bakery.. As we have a large number of customers , we will be buying number of silos with capacities according to our customers needs. And they will get the flour from their silo inside the bakery , in bulk , to produce bakery products..

Can you pls comment if you have such silos available ??

Appreciate to receive your early reply.

Yours Sincerely ,

This was common in the UK in the 1960's and 70's when the big flour millers helped small bakers to install this type of unit so they could phase out deliveries in sacks. They were usually installed inside the bakery.

If I remember, there was a chain conveyor on the outlet of the hopper with a counting device calibrated to x pounds per pulse. The baker could then dial up his flour batch size and the conveyor would discharge it directly into the dough bowl.

All a long time ago now.
