Lanfranchi is an expert in the design and installation of storage systems for standard or aseptic applications of PET, HDPE or PE containers.
The Silos Fast storage system has been created to be used as buffer for water and soft drink lines, but it can also be used for major storage. This product incorporates three fundamental elements:
Conditioned type of panel silos developed specifically to fulfil the storage needs of the milk sector, where containers are made with HDPE and are completely closed.
The main problem with handling this type of container is controlling the inside temperature of the silo, to avoid phenomena of implosion or explosion of the container.
The problem was resolved by developing a silo system with a precise division of the air at different temperatures based on the position of the container inside the silo.
Temperature control is guaranteed through the use of insulating sandwich panels to create the silo roof, side walls and hopper.
Lanfranchi Ultraclean Silos are the ideal solution if you need a protective buffer for your blow moulding machine and you want to be sure that the bacterial load of the bottles does not increase while they are stored inside the silo.
Lanfranchi Ultraclean Silos are the ideal solution if you need a protective buffer for your blow moulding machine and you want to be sure that the bacterial load of the bottles does not increase while they are stored inside the silo.
Lanfranchi Ultraclean Silos was built entirely with AISI 304 stainless steel, it does not feature any point of retention, it is equipped with a CIP system and is guaranteed Class 100.
The new Silo Light system can be installed in current storage systems such as Silo Fast, Ultraclean, etc. and can be purchased for retrofitting in already-installed silos.
The main purpose of this application is to distribute and reduce the pressure of the bottles positioned at the top in comparison to those positioned at the bottom by a continuous series of sloped walls installed inside the silo, that divide it into areas, thereby obtaining the uniform distribution of the loads along the entire width of the silo as the first effect.
Another important result is that these continuous deflectors reduce the vertical loads. Thanks to their slope, in fact, the load of the bottles located at the top does not completely weigh on the bottles at the bottom.
It is mainly used as dynamic storage in palletising and filling lines, or in extrusion lines.
It is also used when in an installation with a preform press connected directly to a blow moulding machine it is necessary to reduce the temperature of the preforms in order to make the heating and blow moulding process as homogeneous as possible.
The name itself identifies the result that is intended to be achieved with the creation of this new dynamic storage system, which enriches and completes the range of traditional systems.
The main characteristics of the Gentle Bottle Silo are:
Boxes are adopted mainly when you have to store various formats of containers that differ in shape, or, although they have the same shape, vary in colour or label.
The easiest, most effective, flexible and safest way to store the quantities of containers required in a “just in time” manner is the Lanfranchi box system. The containers are available in various sizes and capacities up to a maximum of 10 m3 and can be stacked and transported by truck.
