Flexsilo
Mobile. Quick to assemble. Approval-friendly.
With the concrete flex plate, Eichholz Silo & Anlagenbau GmbH offers an innovative, flexible foundation solution for standard silos. Instead of relying on a classic in-situ concrete foundation, the silo is assembled on a prefabricated, statically coordinated concrete plate – quickly, cleanly and with maximum location flexibility.
Material:
- Aluminium: EN AW-5754 (AlMg3)
- Stainless steel: 1.4301/1.4404
Technical data:
- Max. silo height: 11,250 mm
- Diameter: 3,000 to 4,200 mm

What is the concrete flex plate?
The concrete flex plate is a factory-made, statically optimised base plate that is placed directly on a prepared, stable subgrade. This completely eliminates the need for the otherwise necessary in-situ concrete foundation. Immediately after the plate has been set, silo assembly can begin straight away – without curing times, without construction site concrete, without delays.

Connection point for vacuum material conveying. Available in various sizes.
Cable protection pipe
Ensures clean and protected cable routing.
Ladder
For inspection of silos, machines, and installations.
Emergency slide valve
Shut-off device for service operations.
Silo door
Access to the silo skirt.
Roof railing
Fall protection for staff.
Inspection opening
Provides access for service operations.
Rotary paddle switch
Mechanical level limit switch with rotating paddle.
Vibrating fork sensor
Vibration level switch with fork-shaped sensor.
Silo pilot
Electromechanical system for level measurement by lowering a sensing weight.
Radar sensor
Non-contact device for continuous level measurement.
Load cells
Non-contact measuring system based on weight detection.
Pressure relief valve
Ensures pressure equalization in case of overpressure or vacuum in the silo.
Filter
For dedusting conveying air.
Flashlight & horn
Provides visual and acoustic status signaling.
Temperature sensor
Temperature measurement in storage systems.
Grounding cable
Dissipates static charge from the product.
Moisture sensor
Measures moisture content in the product.
Bursting discs
Serve as a predetermined breaking point in case of a dust explosion in the silo.
Vibrating hopper
Discharge assistance through vibration.
Mixing hopper
Used for homogenizing products.
VibraPads
Discharge assistance through vibration and air injection.
Insulation
Protection against weather-related influences.
Platform
Provides access to inspection openings for side-mounted installations.
Sprinkling system
Prevents fire load from the building spreading to the silo.
Anti-honk cone
Use of one or more anti-hup cones reduces friction and vibration on the silo body.
Axial compensator
Used in pipelines to compensate for movement, stress, and vibration.
Manhole
Side access in the silo cylinder.
Screw conveyor
Mechanical conveying device for bulk materials.
Dry air system
Maintains a dry air layer in the headspace and prevents moisture ingress from ambient air.
Sampling device
Pinch valve
Shut-off device in the silo filling line. In combination with a pressure sensor, it can stop the filling process if the conveying pressure is too high.
Feed pan
Transfer point between material flow and air flow.
Suction pot
Connection point for vacuum material conveying.
Sight glass
For visual inspection.
