How it differs
Difference from the fixed horizontal model: more direct emptying, but greater sensitivity to level ground, crosswind and overhead clearance

Buildable configurations
What can be specified on this product, and what each choice changes. Combinations are confirmed by engineering against your axle-load limits and destination regulations before they are quoted.
Vessel Discharge Arrangement
Fixed Non-tipping Vessel
Vessel remains horizontal and discharges by pneumatic fluidisation
Best for: cement, fly ash and fluidisable fine powders
If omitted: a tipping silo uses gravity to improve emptying, but needs lifting clearance and stricter rollover-risk control.
On our sample Body / Cargo Volume 50–60 m³
Changes: Body / Cargo Volume, Body / Vessel Material, Discharge / Unloading Method
Confirmed at inquiry: Confirm volume split, materials, thickness design basis, cleaning and transfer connections

What you can verify before ordering
The plant is ours
Ask for a live walk-through of the welding line, the blasting chamber and the paint booth on the day you call. A trading company cannot do this on request.
Engineers answer, not a sales desk
Configuration questions are answered by the engineering team. If an answer needs a calculation, you get the calculation.
Vessels are certified by third parties
Pressure tests are witnessed and the certificate carries the chassis number of the unit, so it can be matched to the trailer that arrives.
Drawings are kept on file
The approved general arrangement drawing is archived against your chassis number for the life of the unit, which is what makes a spare part orderable years later.
Export paperwork is in house
Invoice, origin certificate, chassis number list and test certificates are issued by our own export desk, so a correction takes hours rather than a week.
Repeat batches stay identical
A follow-on order is built from the drawing you already approved, so parts interchange across your fleet instead of nearly fitting.
Other variants in this category
Same platform, different body or duty. Worth comparing before you settle on one.
Send your drawing or your load case
A sales engineer confirms the specification for this product against your route, axle-load limits and destination regulations, then returns a drawing and a delivered price.
