SDCAD Mobile Cement Silo breaks the limitations of traditional fixed storage equipment, with two differentiated structures to adapt to diverse construction environments and solve storage challenges in various scenarios, ensuring “mobile storage” aligns with on-site practical needs:
- Equipped with Horizontal Silo: Features a low-profile, compact design that excels in narrow or busy construction sites. It can be directly transported by truck without disassembly, significantly reducing on-site assembly steps and minimizing interference with other construction processes. The horizontal structure maintains stability even on uneven ground, making it ideal for remote construction sites or temporary workstations where site preparation is limited.
- Equipped with Container Silo: Adopts a modular container design, with dimensions fully compliant with international standard container specifications. This enables cross-regional or even cross-border transportation via container trucks, ships, or railways—critical for off-site or overseas projects. On-site positioning only requires simple hoisting, and the vertical storage mode maximizes capacity within the smallest footprint, perfectly balancing “small space” and “large storage” needs for the Mobile Cement Silo.
Both structures of the Mobile Cement Silo retain the core feature of “portability without sacrificing capacity”: they can flexibly switch between “vertical placement (long-term on-site storage)” and “truck-mounted transportation (short-distance relocation)”. Regardless of project scale, they optimize construction site space utilization and avoid the common drawbacks of traditional silos—”either too bulky to move or insufficient in capacity”.
The key to SDCAD Mobile Cement Silo’s differentiation from peers lies in its focus on “on-site practicality” and “long-term cost savings”. Each advantage directly addresses customer pain points and solves real operational challenges:
- Ultra-Large Capacity for Continuous Operation: As a professional Mobile Cement Silo, it boasts a maximum load-bearing capacity of 192 tons—far exceeding the average 150-ton capacity of ordinary mobile silos on the market. It meets the continuous material supply needs of high-frequency feeding scenarios (such as concrete batching plants), avoiding downtime caused by frequent material replenishment and supporting the intensive work rhythm of high-demand construction sites.
- Minimal Site Interference & Rapid Installation: The compact structure (especially when paired with a Horizontal Silo) reduces floor space by 30% compared to traditional silos, enabling easy deployment even in narrow sites. The Mobile Cement Silo comes standard with a pre-wired control system and integrated conveying system, cutting installation time by 50%. No professional construction team is required, and on-site commissioning can be completed within 4 hours for quick put-into-use—without delaying project schedules.
- All-Weather Durability & Low Maintenance Costs: The Mobile Cement Silo is constructed with full high-strength steel, paired with a double-layer anti-corrosion coating (epoxy primer + polyurethane topcoat). It resists rust, impact, and harsh environments (high temperatures, heavy rain, strong winds), extending service life by 2-3 years compared to ordinary silos. Meanwhile, maintenance frequency is reduced by 40%, lowering long-term repair time and costs for customers.
SDCAD Mobile Cement Silo integrates a range of industry-leading technologies, ensuring safety, stability, and efficiency throughout the storage and conveying process—making material management more hassle-free:
- High-Efficiency Conveying System: Equipped with a 60-horsepower blower unit and automatic vane feeding system, it achieves a conveying efficiency of up to 50 tons per hour. This avoids the common material clogging issue in ordinary Mobile Cement Silo feeding systems, enabling large-capacity and stable material supply to match the material consumption speed of high-demand construction sites.
- Intelligent Safety Protection: Integrated with a dust removal device (filtration efficiency ≥99.5%), it complies with environmental protection standards in various regions. It also features overflow protection and overpressure protection devices to prevent material leakage and silo damage. The smart control panel supports manual/automatic switching, and real-time level alarms remind users to replenish materials in advance—completely eliminating the risk of “sudden material shortage”.
- Stable Material Flow Guarantee: A pre-wired air compressor and dedicated ventilation system work in synergy to effectively solve the industry-wide problem of bulk powder agglomeration in humid environments. This ensures smooth material discharge and maintains consistent quality of concrete and other finished products.
Whether it is infrastructure construction (highways, bridges, tunnels), precast component production (prefabricated panels, beams, columns), or remote concrete batching (rural construction, mountainous area projects), SDCAD Mobile Cement Silo (including configurations with Horizontal Silo and Container Silo) can be precisely adapted:
- For cross-regional projects: The standard container design of the Container Silo enables multi-modal transportation, reducing logistics costs by 20% compared to custom-transported silos.
- For narrow urban construction sites: The low-profile design of the Horizontal Silo avoids conflicts with surrounding buildings and equipment, improving site utilization.
- For emergency temporary projects: The fast installation and relocation capabilities ensure storage deployment within 1 day, supporting tight construction schedules.

Type of Container Silo Systems
A container silo is a modular bulk storage unit designed for shipping and on-site use in standard shipping containers. Unlike traditional silos, container silos are fully pre-assembled or easily assembled inside a 20ft or 40ft container, making them ideal for international transport and fast deployment. They are mainly used for storing cement, fly ash, lime, or other powdered bulk materials in mobile or containerized concrete batching plants.
Difference Between Types of Container Silos
Container silos can be categorized by capacity, mobility, and discharge system:
-
By capacity: Standard container silos range from 15 to 50 tons per unit. Larger custom containerized systems can reach 100 tons.
-
By configuration: Some models include integrated screw conveyors, pneumatic feeding systems, or combined weighing systems for precise material dosing.
-
By mobility: Certain container silos are equipped with forklift or crane lifting points, while others are fixed inside a container chassis for direct shipping.
-
By surface treatment: Options include galvanized coating, epoxy paint, or marine-grade coatings for durability in humid or coastal environments.
Compared to traditional silos, container silos are extremely export-friendly, cost-efficient, and allow rapid installation at overseas construction sites.
Applications of Container Silos
Container silos are widely used in:
-
Containerized concrete batching plants for modular and mobile operations.
-
Remote or offshore construction projects where traditional silo installation is impractical.
-
Temporary infrastructure projects such as bridges, highways, or mining operations.
-
Cement and powder distribution terminals that require compact, transportable storage units.
The containerized design ensures quick setup, minimal foundation requirements, and seamless integration into containerized plant systems.
