【Shini Group】Shini Fabric-flex Silo —— Flexible Storage, Simple and Efficient
Shini Fabric-flex Silo is an innovative storage solution engineered for plastic pellets and resin materials. Available in capacities from 2m³ to 24m³, it meets a wide range of storage needs —from small processing workshops to large-scale centralized conveying systems.
The silo features a unique combination of a robust steel framework and a high-performance fabric storage bag. The external steel structure provides excellent stability and long-term durability, while the inner fabric bag is made from high-strength, tear-resistant material with breathable and anti-static properties.
This rigid-flexible design combines the structural strength of traditional metal silos with the lightweight advantages of flexible storage systems, offering easier installation, lower maintenance requirements, and greater operational flexibility.
The Fabric-flex Silo can be seamlessly integrated into centralized conveying systems for fully automated operation. Materials are efficiently loaded through vacuum conveying, while optional level sensors and weighing modules provide real-time monitoring of material levels and inventory weight.
All material-contact components are made of SUS304 stainless steel to ensure high cleanliness throughout the conveying process, meeting the hygiene requirements of injection moulding production.
Key Features
Rigid-Flexible Design for Safe and Durable
Main structure: High-strength carbon steel frame for reliable load-bearing capacity and long service life.
Fabric storage bag: Made of specialized fabric with tear-resistant, breathable, and anti-static properties.
Tear resistance: Wear-resistant and suitable for frequent loading and unloading operations.
Breathability: Prevents internal condensation and protects materials from moisture absorption and contamination.
Integrated Automation for High-Efficient Feeding
Compatible vacuum and positive pressure conveying: Standard vacuum hopper with optional positive pressure conveying unit enables seamless integration into centralized conveying systems for fully automatic material feeding.
Modular design: Material inlet and outlet are compatible with Shini feeding and conveying products for easy installation and maintenance.
Precision Monitoring & Smart Inventory Management
Support optional multi-level and weighing management solution:
Material level switch (upper and lower points): Monitor full level/shortage status, automatically triggering material replenishment or alarms.
Weighing Module (bottom sensor): Provide real-time display of material weight. Data can be interfaced with factory ERP/MES system to enable precise inventory management and production traceability.
Clean, Hygienic and Environmentally Friendly
Material contact parts: Material inlet and discharge components are made of SUS304 stainless steel, eliminating rust risks and meeting the cleanliness requirements of injection moulding production.
Sealed design: Fully enclosed structure prevents dust leakage and helps maintain a cleaner working environment.
Flexible Discharge for Various Materials
Customized discharge solutions are available for materials with different flow characteristics:
Standard hopper: suitable for free-flowing pellets;
Vibratory activator: Designed for regrinds and recycled materials prone to bridging.
Typical Application Scenarios
Buffer Storage for Central Conveying Systems
Serving as a buffer silo in large injection moulding workshops, it receives materials from bulk trucks or jumbo bags and conveys them to individual injection moulding machines on demand. This improves conveying efficiency, reduces energy consumption, and stabilizes system pressure.
High-Purity Production
Suitable for industries such as consumer plastic products, packaging containers, plastic toys, building materials, and furniture fittings. It helps prevent metal contamination and electrostatic adsorption, ensuring consistent product quality and high production yield.
