Your advantages at a glance

Safe and protected storage

Our storage silos protect your material from moisture, contamination and weather influences. This guarantees consistent product quality – whether for pellets, mineral substances or industrial bulk materials.

High stability and durable construction

Eichholz silos are manufactured from high-quality materials and designed for demanding operating conditions. You benefit from robust statics, a long service life and minimal maintenance.

Optimal use of space

Thanks to the vertical design, the floor space is used efficiently. Even large storage quantities can be accommodated in a space-saving manner. This is a decisive advantage when operating space is limited.

Flexibly adaptable to your requirements

Whether volume, discharge system, roof shape or accessories: each storage silo is designed individually. From ventilation and temperature monitoring to special interior linings, Eichholz delivers tailor-made solutions.

Uniform and reliable material flow

Our discharge and conveyor systems ensure that the material is discharged safely and in a controlled manner without bridging or blockages. This increases process reliability and reduces downtime.

Cleanliness & hygiene

Low-dust filling, closed systems and easy-to-clean surfaces support clean processes and make it easier to comply with quality and hygiene standards.

Economical & future-proof

Eichholz storage silos enable cost-optimised storage thanks to fast filling, low losses and durable components. This means you are investing in a sustainable and reliable solution for the future.

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
