Hopper and Silo Systems for Solid Storage | Agimix

Overview

The integrated hopper and silo system is an industrial infrastructure designed for the reception, intermediate storage and controlled dosing of solid and particulate materials. This solution ensures that the flow of dry ingredients occurs continuously and safely, directly feeding the production lines without unwanted interruptions.

In modern industry, operational efficiency begins with the correct handling of inputs. Our projects range from the Reception Hopper - Rasga Sacos, which makes the feeding of raw materials into bags faster, safer and more efficient, to storage in process silos. It is essential to highlight that we provide our own tanks with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For giant-scale demands, such as mining or large plants, we integrate our power technology into large vessels that the customer already has in their plant.

Agimix has been in the industrial agitation and mixing solutions market for 15 years, developing complete and customized projects. We do not sell isolated accessories. We deliver unified engineering, connecting Silos and Moegas to a high-quality Solid Materials Mixing Plant performance, including customized platforms for the safe and ergonomic operation of all system equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Direct answers to the most common questions about this equipment and its application.

What is a hopper and silo system for solids?

The hopper and silo system is a set of equipment focused on the reception, intermediate storage and dosing of powders and granules. It organizes the flow of solid raw materials, ensuring that the plant's mixers and reactors are fed at the correct speed and quantity, without interruptions.

Does Agimix sell just the hopper or the silo separately?

No, Agimix exclusively provides complete projects and systems. We integrate Silos and Moegas with other essential equipment, such as mixers, platforms and conveyors, delivering an engineering solution ready to operate.

What is the maximum capacity of silos manufactured by Agimix?

Our process silos are manufactured with a capacity of up to 10,000 liters. For industries that require giant-scale storage, such as mining or large plants, we provide the integration and power system coupled to the large silos that the customer already has.

How does the bag-ripping reception hopper work?

The Reception Hopper - Rasga Sacos is designed with a support grid and cutting system that facilitates the flow of the material contained in the bag. This makes the feeding of raw materials much faster, ergonomic and safer for the operator, minimizing waste.

Do the systems come with access structures for operators?

Yes, all of our vertical projects include customized platforms for operation. These metal structures ensure that the technical team has completely safe access to inspect the storage silos and operate the hoppers in an ergonomic way.

What materials can be stored and processed in these systems?

Our equipment is ideal for dry solid materials, such as fine powders, granules, plastic resins, flours and various chemical additives. The internal design and tilt angle prevent material build-up, facilitating the continuous flow of difficult particulate solids.

What material are Agimix silos and hoppers made of?

We manufacture equipment in 304 stainless steel, 316L stainless steel or carbon steel, depending on the level of aggressiveness and the sanitary requirements of the customer's product. This careful choice of materials guarantees maximum durability and resistance against abrasion or corrosion in the industrial environment.

How does the storage system connect to the mixing plant?

The physical and logical interconnection is made through dosing valves, screw conveyors or closed chutes, forming a fully integrated Solid Materials Mixing Plant. This level of automation eliminates manual handling between the process silo and the main mixer, increasing factory safety.
