The filler handling system is a functional technological unit used for the storage and distribution of loose materials -powders and granules. It comprises the system of storage silos provided with necessary equipment for the receipt and delivery of stored materials such as pneumatic placers as well as bucket, belt and worm conveyors.

The silos are made of steel of the S235JRG2 grade and may be provided with abrasion resistant (HARDOX) interior lining on customer‘s request. Silos designed for the food industry are made of stainless steel, or their internal surfaces can be provided with coatings certified for use in food applications. Exterior surfaces are coated with epoxide or polyurethane coating systems of high quality and weathering resistance, or with a special paint approved for use in the food industry.

These handling systems find application in cement works, bituminous mixing plants, as well as in various chemical, food and agricultural industrial facilities.
