Silos de Almacenamiento Industrial

Falco Latinoamericana designs, engineers, and manufactures mass-flow industrial silos and large-scale storage systems. Our solutions are custom-built for the optimal preservation of raw materials across the food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries nationwide and internationally.

Vertical Storage Solutions with Guaranteed Structural Integrity

Bulk storage engineering demands a rigorous analysis of dynamic product properties such as bulk density, angle of repose, and flowability. At Falco, we develop vertical storage silos optimized under strict international mechanical and safety standards. We mitigate risks of material segregation, compaction, and stagnant flow zones, ensuring a homogeneous, safe, and efficient discharge that safeguards the value of your bulk inventories.

Engineering Advantages of Falco Industrial Silos

Optimized Discharge Geometries

Engineered conical, flat, or custom transition bottom designs (with precision-calculated hopper angles) to strictly prevent common flow failures like rat-holing or material bridging.

Superior Sanitary and Hygienic Design

Mirror-polished interior welds and continuous crack-free finishes, fully compliant with international FDA and COFEPRIS regulations for food and pharmaceutical processes.

Thermal Insulation and Jacketing Options

Available with heating or cooling jackets, featuring high-density injected polyurethane insulation clad in protective stainless steel sheeting for precise temperature control.

High-Safety Support Structures

Mechanically calculated anchoring systems, continuous skirts, or structural leg supports designed to withstand dynamic product loads, high winds, and seismic events based on localized geographic installation data.

Precision Metallurgy and Integrated Instrumentation

We manufacture our units utilizing Stainless Steel Grades 304, 304L, 316, and 316L. Every silo is engineered for native integration with advanced industrial instrumentation: load cells for real-time weight monitoring, continuous level sensors (radar, ultrasonic, or capacitive), dust-collecting vent filters, pressure/vacuum relief valves, and hermetically sealed inspection manways.

Large-Scale Industrial Process Applications

  • Sanitary Food and Ingredient Storage

    Dedicated silos for preserving food-grade powders and liquids such as milk, juices, flour, sugar, starch, and oils. High-specification interior polishing prevents bacterial proliferation and seamlessly accommodates automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) cycles.

  • Bulk Chemical and Plastic Resin Handling

    Heavy-duty storage systems for polymers, plastic pellets, chemical additives, and corrosive fluids. Engineered with calculated plate thicknesses and protective finishes to mitigate wear from abrasion and aggressive chemical corrosion.

  • Seamless Integration with Pneumatic and Mechanical Conveying

    Our silos serve as the core architecture for automated material handling lines. They couple perfectly with screw feeders, rotary airlocks, bin activators (vibratory bottoms), and dilute or dense-phase pneumatic conveying systems.

Types of Industrial Silos

These are tall, cylindrical structures, usually made of stainless steel. They make excellent use of vertical space, offer high capacity, and allow for efficient gravity-fed unloading. Their installation requires a solid foundation. They are used to store grains, cement, minerals, and bulk products in a variety of industries.

These silos are robust, durable, and corrosion-resistant (especially in stainless steel). They are easy to clean and suitable for demanding industrial applications. While more expensive, they offer a long service life. They are common in the chemical, food, pharmaceutical, and materials industries.
