Knitcons Engineering is one of the leading storage silo manufacturers in India, offering advanced and fully customized silo storage systems designed for maida, flour, grains, and powder handling.
Our silos are engineered for durability, hygiene, and seamless integration with pneumatic conveying systems ensuring smooth, contamination-free, and automated operations.
What Is a Silo Storage System?
A silo storage system is a high-capacity, vertical container engineered to safely store bulk
powders, grains, and fine materials.
At Knitcons, our silos are designed for efficient storage, discharge, and transfer, ensuring
zero
contamination and minimal product loss.
Whether for flour milling, grain storage, or chemical applications, our systems are built to
deliver clean, dust-free, and energy-efficient performance.
Maida / Wheat Flour and Sugar SS304 Storage Silo
with Tanker Unloading System
Efficient bulk material handling plays a crucial role in maintaining product quality and operational hygiene in food manufacturing. We design Maida / Wheat Flour and Sugar Handling System, offers a fully automated and dust-free solution for conveying, storage, and process feeding of fine powders.
The system is designed for direct unloading from bulk tankers to the Storage Silo and Small Bags with the help of Bag Tilter, further transfer to the Storage Silo using pneumatic conveying system, ensuring a clean and contamination-free transfer of Maida and Sugar to SS304 Storage Silos. Material from both sources is conveyed through a closed pneumatic pipeline into food-grade Silos equipped with aeration pads, bin activators, load cells, and vent filters to maintain smooth flow and precise level control. From the silos, material is transferred through automated weighing and batching systems to the downstream process line, ensuring precise recipe control and consistent product quality, consistent feed, minimal material loss, and a completely dust-free operation throughout the handling system.
System Highlights
- Automated Tanker Unloading: Dust-free pneumatic conveying directly from bulk tanker to silo.
- Hygienic Storage: Food-grade SS304 silos with fluidizing system for smooth discharge.
- Loss-Free Transfer: Closed conveying ensures zero spillage and minimum product degradation.
- Ease of Operation: Fully integrated controls for loading, storage, and batch feeding.
- Low Maintenance & High Reliability: Designed for continuous, trouble-free operation.
This integrated solution finds wide application in Food, Bakery, Confectionery, Biscuit, Beverage, Instant Mix, Noodles & Pasta, Spice Processing, Dairy Powder, Pharmaceutical, Nutraceutical, and Chemical Industries for efficient bulk handling of Maida, Wheat Flour, Sugar, and other fine powders or granular ingredients.
