Portasilo is celebrating 60 years at the forefront of the UK’s bulk storage and handling industry. Six decades of innovation have enabled the York-based company to buck the trend in UK manufacturing, sustaining continued growth and winning major contracts worldwide.

Silos, dischargers and conveying systems

The product portfolio consists of an extensive range of market-leading products and services that can be applied within the energy sector. Portasilo is an expert in delivering turnkey packages that include but are not limited to the following products; bespoke and standard silos, mechanical, vibratory and aeration dischargers, mechanical and pneumatic conveying systems, plus a host of ancillary supporting components and advanced safety systems. Portasilo develops solutions that combine cutting-edge products to create storage and handling solutions to suit the specific demands of your site, delivering efficient, reliable and high-performance solutions.

Bespoke storage and handling systems

Every plant Portasilo works with and every material has different requirements, so there are no ‘off-the-shelf’ solutions. Instead, the company use leading industry knowledge and experience to develop systems tailored to the needs of each customer. By creating an optimum handling system for each project, Portasilo helps its customers to improve their own processes, performance and efficiency.

Developing bespoke storage and handling systems for specific materials requires a clear understanding of their properties. Portasilo has invested in an advanced testing laboratory where complex material properties can be accurately assessed. This scientific insight enables Portasilo to devise the best storage, discharge and conveying system for each material.
