Your advantages at a glance

Maximum loading capacity

Our loading silos enable fast, continuous and low-dust loading – ideal for lorries, trains or ships. The use of gravity saves energy and maximises throughput.

Flexible decoupling of production and transport

Production and logistics can be neatly separated from each other. Material can be stored temporarily while production continues – regardless of when vehicles arrive. This makes planning easier and reduces downtime.

Automated processes for lower costs

Eichholz loading silos are designed for a high degree of automation. From level measurement and dosing technology to vehicle detection. You benefit from lower personnel and operating costs.

Compact design – maximum use of space

The vertical design of our silos allows you to make optimum use of the available space, which is an important advantage when space is limited.

Cleanliness and environmental compatibility

Closed systems and high-quality dust extraction technology ensure clean processes, less material loss and compliance with strict environmental regulations.

Maximum process reliability

Our discharge and dosing technology is designed for demanding bulk materials. Whether fine-grained, free-flowing or difficult to flow, Eichholz ensures a reliable material flow.

Cost-effectiveness that pays off

Thanks to short loading times, reduced downtimes and durable components, our systems pay for themselves quickly and increase your competitiveness in the long term.

Accessories

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.

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.

Penthouse

Silo superstructure for protecting installed equipment.

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.
