Salt Silos

Silos for Road Maintenance Services

Snow and ice, particularly in alpine regions, pose a significant challenge for road maintenance services. This challenge can be effectively addressed through the quick provision and distribution of salt on road surfaces.

To make the process of salt storage and loading of spreading vehicles as efficient and fast as possible, Agrotecnica has been successfully building salt silos for over 40 years. Each silo incorporates customized loading and unloading techniques for each client. Most of these facilities are still operational today.

Silos for Solid or Liquid Salt

De-icing salt can be stored in two main forms: as granules (solid salt) or as brine (a liquid solution of salt in water). The choice depends on the final use of the salt.

Recently, during preventive or de-icing treatments for road surfaces, solid granular salt is increasingly being combined with brine, which adheres to the surface and amplifies the effect.

Brine Production

When salt needs to be used in liquid form, it is converted into brine. Agrotecnica provides the option of a fully automated system designed for this purpose. This automated system ensures the desired mixing ratio between salt and water, guaranteeing a high-quality saline solution at the required concentration.

Advantages of the Automatic Mixer

1

Precision

The mixer ensures precise brine concentration, essential for applications requiring specific saline solutions.
2

Efficiency

Automation of the mixing process reduces the time and manual labor required, enhancing operational efficiency.
3

Consistency

An automatic mixer guarantees that each batch of brine has the same concentration, avoiding variations that could affect performance.
