Bespoke silo package
May 1st 2004

Braby has supplied Village Bakery with a bespoke silo package for the storage of savoury flour.

The 35t capacity aluminium silo, capable of interfacing with a scada control package, was installed 35m from the main building to allow tanker access. Consequently extended fill lines were fitted.

Flour is transferred to process using a vacuum conveying system.

Linked to Village Bakerys drive for further automation, and to maintain production levels, Braby installed a high level and over-pressure alarm system that automatically cuts off the fill line should a tanker over-fill or over-pressurise the silo.

Using Brabys expertise, Village Bakery was able to ensure that its equipment was atex certified and met all the required standards.
