# Hosokawa Solids Industrial Bulk Material Handling System – 2 × 55
m³ Storage Silos
Overview
Complete industrial bulk material storage, extraction and conveying
installation supplied by Hosokawa Solids, designed for receiving,
storing, discharging and transporting solid raw materials within an
industrial process.
The system comprises two vertical storage silos, each with a
documented useful capacity of 55 m³, providing a combined reference
capacity of 110 m³. The installation incorporates filtration
equipment, pressure and vacuum safety devices, explosion venting
panels, vibrating extraction systems, mechanical and pneumatic
conveying components, dry-air supply equipment, valves,
instrumentation, electrical controls and supporting structures.
The installation is intended for the handling of bulk solid materials,
with actual performance depending on the material's bulk density,
particle size, moisture content, flow characteristics and the final
configuration of the conveying system.
According to the available technical documentation, the installation
was supplied for the KIMITEC project under the reference C.22.2039560
E.
The equipment is offered as one complete lot, including the two silos
and the associated components that belong functionally to the system
and are included within the agreed disconnection points.
