Easy to transport, ready to use, continuous pneumatic discharge
Poggi Pneumatic Horizontal Silos provide a versatile and efficient solution for mobile job sites or temporary plants, where foundation works must be avoided and installation time minimized.
Manufactured in steel, they combine compactness and strength in a self-supporting structure designed to withstand intensive working conditions.
Thanks to optimized dimensions and easy handling, they can be conveniently transported with standard trucks, ensuring maximum mobility and operational readiness in any context.
The key advantage of the pneumatic version is the absence of a discharge screw: material extraction is carried out through a pressurized discharge system, conveying fluidized powders directly into pneumatic conveying lines. This ensures continuous, safe, and fully sealed handling, ideal for materials such as cement, lime, fly ash, and premixed products sensitive to contamination or dispersion.
Thanks to the optimized internal design and inclined bottom, materials naturally flow towards the discharge system, ensuring maximum emptying without residues. Additionally, the silos can be equipped with accessories such as safety valves and level indicators, enabling more efficient and customized management.
A compact, reliable, and versatile solution, designed for those who require logistics efficiency, waste reduction, and continuity in production cycles.

Designed to ensure maximum mobility and autonomy on temporary job sites, Poggi pneumatic horizontal silos offer a compact and easily transportable solution, ideal for operations across multiple locations and hard-to-access areas.
Thanks to pressurized material extraction and the possibility of direct connection to the truck compressor, they ensure fast discharge, full material protection, and clean, safe handling, reducing time and operating costs.
A versatile and reliable solution, suitable for a wide range of applications and sectors.
> Mobile batching plants for pneumatic loading of cement, lime, and premixed materials in road, railway, or port job sites
> Tunneling and infrastructure projects, where compactness and mobility are essential
> Specialized agro-industrial sectors, for additives, micro-granules, and powders in sensitive environments
> Discontinuous or multi-site job sites, thanks to easy transport and installation without fixed foundations
Poggi pneumatic horizontal silos are designed to ensure maximum efficiency in the transport and storage of bulk materials in powder or granular form, thanks to an integrated pneumatic system that guarantees a constant and controlled flow.
The material is loaded into the silo by gravity, and the entire system is then pressurized to facilitate pneumatic discharge towards the usage lines.
Each component of the pneumatic horizontal silo from the main body to the discharge system, up to the air ducts is designed to facilitate loading, reduce emptying times, and minimize residue formation. The horizontal geometry, combined with fluidization devices and dedicated valves, ensures uniform material distribution and efficient transfer to conveying lines.
DISCHARGE SYSTEM
Material extraction occurs by gravity through a conical bottom hopper designed to facilitate discharge even with high-density materials or large volumes. The system can be configured with butterfly valves, pneumatic valves, and external discharge screws, depending on the application and the connected plant.
VIBRATION SYSTEMS
To ensure complete emptying of the silo, even with difficult materials, electric vibrators or selective vibration systems can be installed, adjusted according to the type of content. This reduces discharge times and prevents bridging or blockages.
FLUIDIZATION SYSTEMS
Fluidization pads or nozzles positioned in the lower part of the silo introduce compressed air to keep powdery or light materials in motion. Particularly suitable for cement, hydrated lime, fly ash, and other light, powdery materials.
VOLUMETRIC DOSING
Material dosing is carried out by screw, adjusting the operating time based on the nominal capacity of the silo. A reliable solution that ensures operational continuity and consistent output, particularly suitable for homogeneous materials and repetitive work cycles.
ELECTRONIC DOSING WITH LOAD CELLS
For applications requiring precision, traceability, and certified dosing, a loss-in-weight weighing system can be integrated. Load cells connected to an electronic terminal ensure accurate measurements, with cycle recording and controlled, verifiable recipe management.
REMOTE MANAGEMENT AND TRACEABILITY OPTIONS
On request, dosing systems can be integrated with digital interfaces for remote control, data visualization from external terminals, and automatic report generation. This enables advanced silo management even remotely and full integration into automated plants or Industry 4.0 systems.
TOP FILTER
Mounted directly on the silo roof, the top filter is designed to capture and retain vented dust generated during pneumatic loading. The system operates continuously and automatically, without the need for manual intervention, helping to keep the surrounding environment clean and improve operational safety. Efficient separation between air and solid particles reduces the risk of atmospheric emissions and preserves the integrity of the stored material, preventing waste and contamination. Depending on the type of material stored in the silo, different filter types can be installed, optimized for particle size or chemical characteristics of the handled dust.
