An effective storage and transport system for bulk materials is key to stable and efficient production. InterProcess designs and delivers complete solutions—from storage silos to automated transport and dosing of raw materials—ensuring full integration with production lines in various industries.

Storage and transport of bulk materials from silos in production lines

The storage and transport of bulk materials is a key element of technological processes in many industrial sectors. A properly designed system for receiving and feeding raw materials from silos affects the continuity of the production line, the precision of dosing, and the safety of the entire process.

The function and importance of silos in the technological process

Silos act as storage buffers, ensuring constant availability of raw materials despite variable delivery and consumption rates. Depending on the characteristics of the material (bulk density, moisture content, tendency to clump or segregate), appropriate silo designs and equipment are selected, including aeration systems, vibrators, aerators, and emptying aids.
Another key element is the appropriate selection of equipment for receiving material from the silo hopper, such as rotary valves, screw conveyors, or pneumatic transport systems.

Material collection and transport systems

InterProcess designs and supplies complete systems for collecting and transporting raw materials from silos to further processing points, such as mixers, dispensers, intermediate tanks, or packaging lines. Depending on the product properties and process requirements, we use the following transport technologies:

• mechanical – including screw conveyors, redlers, bucket conveyors, belt conveyors,
• pneumatic – vacuum (negative pressure) and positive pressure systems for transport over shorter and longer distances,
• hybrid – combining different methods to optimize flow and energy consumption.

Our solutions also include dust extraction, foreign body separation, filtration, and automatic material flow control systems.

Integration with the production line

The use of automatic control systems enables full synchronization of silo operation with the rest of the technological installation. The system monitors fill levels, controls transport speed, and ensures uniform dosing of raw materials. As a result, the entire process is stable and repeatable, which translates into the quality of the final product.

Our designs also take into account process hygiene (CIP, access for cleaning, elimination of dead zones) and explosion safety (ATEX).

Proven installation components

In the production installations we design, we rely primarily on our own technology and equipment manufactured in-house. We also use proven suppliers whose workmanship is of the highest quality

• volumetric and gravimetric dosing systems,
• pneumatic pressure and vacuum transport lines,
• rotary valves and butterfly valves,
• screw and disc-tube feeders,
• Big-Bag filling and emptying stations,
• dust extraction and filtration systems,
• raw material distributors and mixers.

Each component is tailored to the specific characteristics of the medium and process requirements, while maintaining high standards of workmanship and reliability.

Integration with equipment from other manufacturers

Systems designed by InterProcess can be fully integrated with equipment from other suppliers. This makes it possible to both modernize existing installations and expand lines with new modules without having to replace the entire infrastructure.
