Barton Completes Multi-silo Installation

Barton Fabrications’ latest installation is for six aluminium storage silos. The vessels, which support the plastic moulding industry, are nine metres high with a diameter of 3.5 metres and 40 ton capacity used for storing plastic granules.

Commenting on the six silo installation, Mark Barton, Managing Director of Barton Fabrications said:

“We are seeing unprecedented demand for storage vessels from the UK plastics industry. This multi-silo installation is just one of several we have completed recently.”

The aluminium silos are all identical and fitted with load cells and telemetry for ease of content management and stock re-ordering.
