POSIMAT’s Fixed In-built Silo is a compact, efficient storage solution designed to sit atop the access cabin of an ACCESS unscrambler, providing a direct and seamless feed for empty plastic bottles into the production line. Its design allows for reliable, steady bottle flow while saving floor space and minimizing manual intervention, making it ideal for facilities with limited space but high efficiency needs.
Sometime also known as “big bag”, POSIMAT's Tote System is a smart solution for handling empty plastic containers, offering a mobile, stackable storage solution designed to optimize logistics in filling lines. With totes, bottles are stored efficiently, reducing the need for excessive packaging materials and manual handling, while creating a safer, more organized workspace. These totes are easily transported by a forklift, minimizing labor costs and safety risks, making them ideal for manufacturers aiming to streamline their operations and improve sustainability.
Empty bottle silos can increase filling line efficiency by up to 15%. Allowing bottles to accumulate helps prevent line stoppages when any machine, whether upstream (bottle blow molder, depalletizer) or downstream (filler, labeler, case packer), stops.
The POSISILO empty bottle storage system consists of a patented system that revolutionizes the bottle outlet system, ensuring zero pressure. An extremely delicate system with bottles guarantees the best handling of containers to prevent damage or deformation. Its lower ramps include flaps that never fully close. This ensures that the bottles are retained within the silo without ever being trapped by the gate, thus preventing damage.
The ramp opens and closes automatically according to the downstream line feeding needs.
