CONSTMACH 39-Ton Horizontal Cement Silo Now Operational in the UK
AuthorConstmachPublishedJuly 03, 2026Constmach has successfully completed the installation of a horizontal cement silo in the United Kingdom, providing a tailored storage solution for a customer with specific site requirements. Unlike standard vertical silos, this model is designed as a low-height unit, making it ideal for locations where vertical clearance is limited or where logistical conditions call for a more compact storage arrangement.
A Low-Height Design
The defining feature of this silo is its horizontal, low-profile design. Where conventional vertical silos require considerable headroom, the horizontal configuration keeps the overall height to a minimum. This makes it particularly well suited to sites with height restrictions, indoor installations or locations near overhead obstructions, giving the UK customer a practical way to store cement where a tall silo would not be feasible.
39 Tonnes of Storage Capacity
With a storage capacity of 39 tonnes of cement, the silo offers ample on-site reserves to support continuous operation. Sufficient capacity allows the customer to keep production running through busy periods without relying on frequent deliveries, helping to smooth out supply and avoid interruptions. This balance of compact dimensions and useful capacity makes the unit both practical and efficient.
Efficient Cement Handling
Beyond storage, the horizontal silo is built to make cement handling straightforward and efficient. A well-designed silo ensures a steady, controlled flow of material to the batching or mixing equipment it serves, reducing waste and supporting consistent production. For the UK customer, this means reliable cement supply that helps maintain quality and keep operations running smoothly.
Easy Transport and Installation
The horizontal format also offers advantages in transport and installation. A low-height silo is generally simpler to move and position than a tall vertical unit, easing logistics on constrained or hard-to-access sites. This practicality helps reduce setup time and complexity, allowing the customer to bring the silo into service with minimal disruption to existing site operations.
Robust, Dependable Construction
Like all Constmach equipment, the silo is built for durability and long-term reliability. Robust construction ensures it can withstand continuous use and the demands of an active site, protecting the stored cement and providing dependable service over many years. This durability gives the customer confidence in a long-lasting, low-maintenance storage solution.
Tailored Solutions for the UK Market
This installation reflects Constmach's dedication to providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of customers across different markets. By offering specialised products such as the horizontal cement silo alongside its wider range, Constmach demonstrates the flexibility to address particular site challenges. The company aims to remain a dependable partner for UK customers seeking practical, high-quality equipment matched to their specific conditions.

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.
