Silo Conveying System for Road Salt Bagging

28. May 2024

Our customer in Switzerland is a well-established logistics provider specialising in agricultural products, as well as a manufacturer of high-quality specialised road salt. The defining characteristic of this product is its outstanding performance: the salt remains fully effective even at temperatures below -8°C, ensuring reliable road safety under demanding winter conditions.

Within the installed system, two raw materials are precisely dosed, blended and subsequently bagged. Thanks to an intelligent and custom-developed control solution, SSB has successfully integrated the existing silo discharge screws in such a way that the finished product can be produced directly from the conveying process itself—eliminating the need for additional mixing or intermediate silos.

The required system modification on the customer’s side was kept to an absolute minimum. It involved only the retrofitting of the component silos with load cells for accurate weight measurement, combined with the implementation of SSB’s intelligent control technology.

The result is a highly efficient and cost-effective plant solution. By removing the need for separate mixing and discharge silos, both investment and operating costs are significantly reduced. At the same time, the customer benefits from streamlined processes, reduced system complexity, and increased operational reliability.

The finished product is then stored in silos and filled flexibly into 25 kg bags or big bags, depending on operational requirements.

Efficient processes, intelligent control technology, and tailor-made solutions – this is what SSB Wägetechnik stands for.
