An industrial bulk storage system stores and manages large quantities of powders, grains, pellets, ingredients, minerals, and other dry bulk materials before processing, packaging, or loadout.

Both are used for bulk material storage, but their geometry, construction, capacity, installation, and discharge configurations can differ. Scott Equipment offers square modular bins, fully welded round silos, sanitary silos, and pre-engineered loadout systems to accommodate different applications.

Consider the material’s bulk density and flow characteristics, required storage capacity, sanitary requirements, available facility space, discharge method, and downstream equipment.

Scott storage systems can be engineered for powders, grains, pellets, feed ingredients, food ingredients, minerals, cementitious materials, recycled materials, and many other dry bulk products.

Mass flow occurs when material moves uniformly through the storage vessel, rather than allowing stagnant material to remain along the walls. This can help improve first-in, first-out discharge and reduce material buildup. Scott’s sanitary silo design specifically emphasizes FIFO material movement.

Yes. Scott Equipment designs storage systems based on factors such as material, capacity, facility layout, support structure, and discharge requirements.
