Silo 1 for storage of dry bulk cargo

The dry bulk goods Silo 1 was built in 1998 and offers the possibility to store 18.000 tons in total.

Two dividing walls separate the warehouse space into three sections, enabling the simultaneous storage of three different goods. While the warehouse space reaches a height of 24m on one longitudinal side, the height on the other longitudinal side is only 7m. This unusual form results in a 28° slope of the roof, which matches the angle of repose of fertlizer.

Goods are delivered via rail, seagoing vessels or barges; limited quantities can also be delivered by trucks. Irrespective of the delivery method, the goods arrive in the warehouse via closed conveyer belts. The product is not thrown from the ceiling onto the floor, as it is usual in most cases, but is handled much more gently by an innovation: The storage as well as the outsourcing takes place with a specially developed scraper, whereby the scraper fulfill a double function ,during storage, the goods are transported by the scraper blades from bottom to top. This eliminates a free fall of the goods and reduces possible dust to a minimum. In addition, this also prevents the formation of dust cones or segregation of the valuable goods. When outsourcing, the scraper blades scratch the goods again from top to bottom on the conveyor belt system.

Removal by trucks or ships

Goods are either removed onto seagoing vessels or barges with our bulk loader or brought to the street using the truck loading station. For ship loading, the weighing is carried out using a calibrated belt scale and the cargo arrives on the ship via the telescopic tube of the loader. For storage and removal, the transloading capacity is ca. 800 t/h.

Silo 2 for storage of dry bulk cargo

Our second storage silo for bulk goods was also built in 1998 and connected to our silo 1 through extensive renovations at the beginning of 2021. The silo has a storage capacity of approx. 5,000 t and also enables single-type storage.

Silos 3 A+B for storage of dry bulk cargo

Our most recent built silos 3 A+B for the storage of dry bulk cargo were launched in 2012. The Concrete Silo consists of two identical boxes, each offering the possibility to store up to 9,000 tonnes of fertilizer and other dry bulk goods.

The supply of cargo into the silo takes place from the water side with the grab crane to the conveyor belt system, or shoreside by truck into two underground bunkers.

The goods are removed from the storage by a wheel loader and loaded weighed onto trucks or railway cars. We guarantee an environmental friendly handling of all suitable bulk cargoes. Our company is primarily focused on the handling of high-quality products (e.g. fertilizers), which require a particularly careful handling. The needs of our customers is always at the focus of our actions.
