There is a reason our silos are bolted, not welded.

It is a question we get asked sometimes. Welding is faster in the factory. It creates a sealed joint. And for many steel structures, it is the obvious choice.

But for modular silos that need to ship globally, install inside existing buildings, and adapt to changing needs over time, welding is actually a limitation.

A welded silo is a finished product the moment it leaves the factory. It ships as one piece, which means higher freight costs, wider transport routes, and usually a crane on site. It cannot pass through a standard doorway. And once it is installed, it stays the way it is.

A bolted silo is different. It ships flat-packed as panels and sections. Freight costs drop significantly because you are shipping components, not air. Every part fits through a standard doorway, so installation happens inside the building without structural changes. Two people can assemble a standard unit on site, using language-neutral instructions. And if your capacity needs change, you add sections to the existing structure instead of replacing the whole unit.

Bolted construction also means full traceability under EN 1090. Every panel, every bolt, every connection is documented and traceable back to the raw material. That level of documentation is increasingly required in regulated industries, and it comes built into the system.

We chose bolted modular construction over 60 years ago. Not because it was easier to manufacture. Because it was better for the customer.

Recycled plastic is not the same as virgin plastic. And that changes everything about how you store it.

Virgin granulate is predictable. Uniform particle size, consistent melt index, stable colour. You fill the silo, you empty the silo, and the production line runs as expected.

Recycled granulate is different. It comes from multiple sources, with different thermal histories, different contamination levels, and different molecular structures. What goes into the silo as one batch can segregate, shift, and separate during storage. By the time it reaches the production line, the material properties have changed.

The result is inconsistent melt flow, colour variation between runs, and production lines that need constant recalibration just to maintain acceptable output. For companies processing increasing volumes of recycled material, this is not a minor inconvenience. It is a daily operational challenge.

The solution is not better sorting or stricter incoming quality control alone. It is homogenisation before the material reaches the production line.

BM Silo's Auger Mixing Silo does exactly that. A vertical mixing screw homogenises material inside the silo, delivering consistent melt index and uniform colour to the extruder. Batch after batch. No recalibration needed.

The technology is patent pending. Designed and manufactured in Holstebro, Denmark.

Recycled plastic is not the same as virgin plastic. And that changes everything about how you store it.

Across Europe, the share of recycled content in plastic production is growing. Not primarily because of price, but because regulation and customer requirements are making it structurally necessary. EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation introduces mandatory recycled content targets from 2030, and the supply chain is already adapting.

But more recycled material in production means more variation in the raw material. Recycled granulate comes from multiple sources, with different thermal histories, different contamination levels, and different molecular structures. What goes into the silo as one batch can segregate and shift during storage. By the time it reaches the production line, the material properties have changed.

The result is inconsistent melt flow, colour variation between runs, and production lines that need constant recalibration. For companies increasing their recycled content, this is not a side effect. It is the core operational challenge.

The companies that solve this effectively will have a real competitive advantage. Those that do not will struggle to meet both regulatory requirements and customer quality expectations.

BM Silo's Auger Mixing Silo addresses exactly this. A vertical mixing screw homogenises material inside the silo, delivering consistent melt index and uniform colour to the extruder. Batch after batch. No recalibration needed.

The technology is patent pending. Designed and manufactured in Holstebro, Denmark.

Your production keeps running. We install around it.

That is not a sales promise. It is how our silos are actually designed. Every single component is built to fit through a standard doorway and carried inside by hand. No cranes. No structural modifications. No wall removals.

The reason is simple. Most of our customers install new storage capacity in facilities that are already operating. Shutting down a production line for weeks is not an option. So the installation has to work around what is already there.

Our silos arrive as flat-packed kits on a pallet. Two people can assemble a standard unit in as little as 7 hours, and even the largest configurations are typically completed within a few days. All using language-neutral instructions that work whether you are in Denmark, Brazil or Japan.

Because the system is modular, the installation sequence can be planned around your production schedule. One section at a time if that is what the situation requires.

It is not the most dramatic way to install a silo. But it is the most practical one. And practical is what matters when your plant cannot afford to stop.

Barley on Monday. Plastic granules on Tuesday. Green coffee beans on Wednesday.

That is not a hypothetical scenario. It is the kind of versatility our customers need from their storage equipment every week.

BM Silo manufactures modular silos for dry material storage, and over the past 61 years, the list of materials we have engineered solutions for has grown far beyond grain.

Today our silos store plastic granules and regranulate for the polymer industry. Wheat, barley, oats, corn and rapeseed for agriculture. Meal feed, pellets and soybean meal for feed production. Green coffee beans for roasters. Minerals for construction and supplements. Nuts for food processors. And fish feed for aquaculture.

Each material behaves differently. Some flow freely, some bridge, some compact, some segregate. Moisture sensitivity, dust classification, cleaning requirements, discharge behaviour: every factor matters when designing a storage solution that actually works in daily operation.

That is why we never sell a standard silo off the shelf. Every unit is engineered for the specific material it will store, with the right cone angle, surface finish, and discharge solution for that application.

One modular system. Dozens of industries. Thousands of installations worldwide.

If you are storing a dry material and wondering whether we have experience with it, the answer is almost certainly yes.

You can have the best silo on the market. If you cannot document it, you are out.

That is the reality in process industries today. Procurement departments are not just comparing price and capacity anymore. They are comparing documentation. And suppliers who cannot deliver it are disqualified before the conversation even starts.

The list keeps growing. EN 1090 for full material traceability. CE marking for European compliance. ATEX certification for environments where dust creates explosion risk. And since January 2026, CBAM requires importers to document the CO2 emissions of carbon-intensive products like steel.

For plant managers and quality directors, this is not paperwork for the sake of it. It is a prerequisite. Without the right documentation, equipment cannot be approved, installations cannot be signed off, and products cannot enter certain markets.

The challenge is that many silo suppliers treat documentation as an afterthought. Something that gets handled at the end of the project, if it gets handled at all. That creates delays, gaps in compliance, and uncomfortable conversations with auditors.

At BM Silo, documentation is part of the engineering process from day one. EN 1090 traceability on every silo. CE marking documentation included as standard. ATEX certification available on request. And a documented CO2 footprint per silo, even when it is customised to your specifications.

Because in 2026, the question is no longer just whether your storage solution works. It is whether you can prove it.

Nobody builds a new factory just because they need more storage.

In most process plants, the building is already there. The production line is already running. And the space you have to work with is whatever is left between the existing equipment and the walls.

That is the reality of expanding storage capacity in an operating facility. Ceiling heights are fixed. Floor space is limited. Doors are standard width. And the one thing you absolutely cannot afford is shutting down production for weeks while new equipment is installed.

It sounds like a simple problem, but it rules out a surprising number of storage solutions on the market. Pre-assembled silos that cannot fit through the door. Round silos that waste floor space in rectangular buildings. Systems that require structural modifications before they can even be installed.

And then there is the budget question. Capital expenditure is under pressure everywhere right now. Large upfront investments get pushed, delayed, or cancelled entirely. What gets approved is the project that can be done in stages, with predictable costs, and without disrupting what is already working.

If you are looking at expanding storage capacity inside an existing plant, the question is not just how much volume you need. It is how you get it in there without rebuilding what you already have.

That is the question we help our customers answer every day.

Something new is coming.

For over 61 years, we have built our reputation on bolted square silos designed for the toughest dry material storage challenges. Every silo engineered for its specific application, every solution built to perform for years.

Now we are adding something new to the range.

We cannot share all the details just yet, but we are excited about this one.

Stay tuned!

Coming back from summer with a project on your mind?

After a few weeks away from the daily routine, things often look different. The layout you have been working around suddenly feels like something you could improve. The capacity issue you have been postponing moves up the priority list. And the project you parked before summer suddenly makes sense again.

We see it every year. August and September are when the most interesting conversations start. Not because we push for it, but because people come back with clarity about what they actually need.

If a silo project has been on your mind over the summer, this is a good time to start the conversation. Not to rush anything, but to get the engineering right while there is still time to plan properly for the months ahead.

Whether it is a single silo for an existing line or a full storage setup for a new facility, we are ready when you are.

Every time you switch material in your silo, the clock starts ticking.

Production stops. Cleaning begins. And somewhere in the back of your mind, the same question comes up: did we get everything out?

Because if the answer is no, the next batch is already at risk before production even restarts. Residues from the last run mixing into the new one. A quality complaint waiting to happen. Or worse, a recall.

In food and feed processing, a single contamination-related shutdown can cost tens of thousands in lost raw materials alone, and that is before you count the hours of lost production.

The frustrating part is that most of these situations are not caused by human error. They are caused by storage equipment that was never designed for complete discharge or fast changeovers in the first place. Internal bolt heads that trap material. Stiffeners that create dead zones. Surfaces that resist cleaning instead of supporting it.

The problem is not that people do not clean properly. The problem is that the equipment makes it harder than it needs to be.

If downtime between batches is eating into your production hours, the solution usually is not a better cleaning process. It is a better storage design.
