The gravity feed is not dependent upon pressurized water hook ups, electrical power or gasoline motors. Simply pull the slide gate handle and you're making material.
SPEC MIX® silos are manufactured to hold a single 3,000 lb bulk bag, 5 bulk bags and 10 bulk bags. These options enable you, the contractor, to determine which silo system best suits your needs and jobsite demands. Silos can be fitted with dust curtains, screw augers, set at various heights, and can be used with any mixer on the market to increase the productivity and efficiency of your jobsite. For greatest efficiency place the silos near your work area so as your crew moves around the job site, the silos move as well making the most of your people and equipment. All silos operate easily and smoothly, eliminating the heavy lifting and twisting associated with the production of materials. Each silo comes with a bilingual operations and safety manual. We encourage you to follow it closely.
