CONSTMACH 100-Tonne Cement Silo Shipped to Chile
AuthorConstmachPublishedApril 26, 2026Constmach has shipped a 100-tonne capacity cement silo to a customer in Chile, supporting the operator's concrete production capabilities in South America. The silo is supplied complete with the equipment needed for safe, efficient cement storage and handling, and is due to be assembled on site by Constmach staff in the coming days.
100-Tonne Storage Capacity
The silo offers 100 tonnes of cement storage, giving the customer in Chile ample on-site capacity for continuous concrete production. Sufficient storage allows the operator to keep batching running through busy periods without frequent deliveries, supporting smooth and efficient operation. A silo of this size is well matched to medium and large-scale production demands.
Air Filter for Clean Operation
The unit is equipped with an air filter, an essential component for cement silos. As cement is pneumatically loaded into the silo, the filter captures airborne dust and releases clean air, preventing material loss and keeping the surrounding work area clean. This contributes to a safer, tidier site and helps the operator meet environmental expectations during loading.
Safety Valve for Pressure Protection
A safety valve is also fitted to the silo to protect against over-pressure and under-pressure during the filling process. Pressure relief of this kind is vital to the safe operation of a cement silo, guarding the structure against the stresses that can arise during pneumatic loading. The valve helps ensure the silo remains reliable and safe throughout its service life.
273 x 9,000 mm Screw Conveyor
The silo includes a 273 x 9,000 mm screw conveyor for transferring cement from storage to the batching process. The screw conveyor provides a controlled, dependable flow of material, ensuring a steady supply to the plant. Its dimensions are matched to the silo, supporting efficient discharge and consistent feeding during production.
On-Site Assembly by Constmach
Once the silo arrives in Chile, it will be assembled on site by Constmach staff. Professional installation ensures that the silo and its components are set up correctly and ready for safe, productive use. This hands-on support reflects Constmach's commitment to standing behind its equipment from delivery through to commissioning.
Strengthening Constmach in South America
This shipment underlines Constmach's reach into the South American market and its ability to supply complete, well-equipped storage solutions to customers worldwide. Delivering a silo with its filter, valve and screw conveyor as a coordinated package simplifies installation and helps the customer reach productive operation sooner. Backed by the company's engineering and after-sales support, the 100-tonne cement silo is set to serve the Chilean customer reliably for years to come.

What Are the Components of an Asphalt Plant? What Do They Do?
An asphalt plant consists of cold feed bins that dose the aggregate, a burner-fired drying drum that dries and heats it, a hot elevator and screen that lift and separate the hot material, weigh hoppers and a twin-shaft mixer that blend it with bitumen and mineral filler, heated bitumen tanks and a filler silo that supply those binders, a baghouse that captures dust, a storage silo that holds the finished mix, and a control cabin that manages the whole plant.
What Is an Asphalt Plant? How Does It Work Step by Step?
An asphalt plant is an industrial facility that dries and heats aggregates, then blends them with bitumen and mineral filler in precise proportions to produce hot mix asphalt (HMA). The process runs step by step: cold feed dosing, drying in a burner-fired drum, screening and weighing, mixing, and finally storage or truck load-out. Mixing takes place at roughly 140-180°C, and plants are built as batch (discrete) or drum (continuous) types.
What Is a Vibrating Screen? What Are Its Features and Uses?
A vibrating screen is a machine that separates crushed material into different particle sizes. Rotating eccentric weights or vibrating motors shake a sloped screen box, so particles smaller than the mesh openings fall through each deck while larger ones travel across and discharge separately. With 2 to 4 decks, one screen can produce 3 to 5 sized products. Vibrating screens are essential in mining, aggregate production, crushing plants and recycling.
