When Mixing Is Critical: BM Silo’s Auger Mixing Silo Raises the Standard

When Mixing Is Critical: BM Silo’s Auger Mixing Silo Raises the Standard
15 Jul 2025  |
In the plastics and recycling industries, consistent product quality starts with uniform blending. Especially when handling recycled granulates, variations in melt index or color can disrupt production and require costly recalibration.

BM Silo’s Auger Mixing Silo offers a robust, modular solution to this challenge—engineered to mix during filling and eliminate batch-to-batch inconsistency.

Core technical features:

  • Vertical Ø230 mm auger with continuous pitch – up to 3,200 kg/h at 50 rpm
  • Low-shear mixing for temperature-sensitive materials
  • Compact footprint (from 1.5×1.5 m to 3×3 m) and capacities up to 66 m³
  • Galvanized panels, CE marking, and Eurocode compliance
  • Flat-pack delivery for easy indoor installation without disrupting production

Case: Quantafuel, Norway

Norwegian plastic recycling innovator Quantafuel now operates four BM Auger Mixing Silos, processing over 50 tons of plastic granulate daily. The result:

  • Homogeneous product with consistent melt properties
  • Improved color stability and reduced rework
  • No need for recalibration between batches
  • Efficient freight and installation – delivered flat-packed for indoor setup

This mixer silo is not just a silo—it’s a blending system integrated into your storage process. With a modular, service-friendly design and proven long-term performance (15,000-hour motor/bearing lifecycle), it’s built for industrial uptime.

From plastics to powder processing, BM Silo delivers blending where it matters most: at the heart of your operation.
