ESI Eurosilo is a solution provider in storage facilities for non-free flowing bulk solids and large quantities. Our highly automated silos offer maximum control in material handling, up to 100.000 m3, while saving operational costs and valuable space.

Experts in storage challenges

We are a leading Dutch engineering and contracting company in storage solutions for non-free flowing bulk solids and large quantities. Our team of engineers and project managers are passionate about every touch point between bulk materials and storage solutions. What started with an innovative storage silo for a Dutch potato starch manufacturer in the late 1960s, has now evolved into a range of powerful Eurosilo Solutions for customers in major industries around the globe. Our expertise has been recognized by operators, engineering contractors, consultancy agencies and material handling engineers throughout the power industry, chemistry and agriculture.

Our scope

The scope of ESI Eurosilo is design, engineering, production, installation, inspection and maintenance of handling and storage systems (Eurosilo system) for bulk solids such as mammoth silos and related systems. At ESI Eurosilo we are eager to work in close cooperation with customers and technology partners so that we can assure a perfect fit for all requirements.

Up-to-date Eurosilo technology for sugar storage

ESI introduces the Eurosilo system that future proof sugar production, with conditioned storage and easy maintenance. Producing white sugar from sugar beets is one of the primary industries in Europe. Consolidation and optimisation of the production facilities are the main strategies for sugar producers. This focus on production has led to less attention for storage. Many outdated and inefficient sugar silos are still in operation. Maintenance issues have become a major concern, while production volumes increased without significant change in storage capacity. ESI introduces the Eurosilo System to provide operational and strategic advantages. Many sugar storage facilities date back to the 1980s or even the 1960s. Meanwhile, technology has advanced a lot, offering automation and improved efficiency, while original silo manufacturers such as Weibull, ABR, and Spaans, have left the market. This leaves it up to the resourcefulness of technical departments to keep these silos up and running. Additionally, the regulations for the production environment have become stricter, particularly

Research in the Eurosilo concept for storage of new products

The Eurosilo concept, a highly automated, space-saving vertical storage system, is currently being researched for the storage of ores and soybeans. Now that the Eurosilo concept has become a renowned solution in number of industries, the concept of highly automated space saving vertical storage is drawing attention from different parties in other industries. This is why last year was decisive in kicking off our long term strategy with ground breaking R&D projects, headed by Sjaak van Hurck, Technical Director at ESI. Change and transformation The impact of global developments such as growing population, climate change and increasingly scarce natural resources is driving change and transformation in major industries. This is impacting regional regulations as well as supply chains, business models and technological developments. At ESI, Sjaak van Hurck is leading R&D projects that arise from a faster changing world: “The increased demand of steel has now led to a race for manganese ore in the mining industry. So we are asked to study the possibility of the Eurosilo for large scale storage of ore.” Testing

Upgrade of potato and pea starch silo Emsland-Stärke Emlichheim

At the Emsland-Stärke in Emlichheim, Germany, ESI has finished the upgrade of a potato and pea starch silo built by Weibull in the early ‘70s. “Combining our technology with the Weibull silo and the requested infeed/output system from a previous supplier was quite a challenge. But now this silo is compliant with today’s requirements and ready for operation over the coming decades,” said Maarten Appelman, the After Sales Manager at ESI. Global supplier for food processing industry Emsland-Stärke Emlichheim is the main production facility, as well as the headquarters, of the globally operating Emsland Group. The Emsland Group develops, produces and markets a wide portfolio of products derived from potatoes and peas, including starch products, potato flakes and granules, as well as proteins and fibers. With a history of almost a hundred years, one of their first potato starch silos needed a thorough upgrade, and all changes needed to be strictly ATEX compliant. Feasibility first Appelman explained, “As most Weibull silos are custom made with technology from almost 50 years ago, we first started

Large-scale homogenization in mammoth silos

Thesis on blending in large silos This thesis focuses on the applicability of large-scale homogenization in mammoth silos. Mammoth silos are frequently used for the storage of both free flowing and cohesive materials up to volumes of 100,000 m3. For the upgrading of free flowing bulk materials blending piles can be used. However, to date, an upgrading facility for cohesive bulk material is not available. Adding the functionality of homogenization to a mammoth silo means that both free flowing and cohesive materials can be stored and homogenized under climatological controlled circumstances. The competitiveness of homogenizing in mammoth silos versus blending piles depends on the achievable rate of homogenization and the required homogenization efficiency for successive processes. Investment costs and available space are also relevant factors: there is an increasing market for compact and indoor storage facilities in densely populated areas. Experiments were set up to investigate the suitability
