Flexible flour silo

Description

Syvrac flexible silos for flour are designed to offer a solution of high-performance and hygienic storage, reducing the risks of material alteration and guaranteeing perfect product fluidity. Thanks to their filtering fabric silo roof, storage is clean and the atmosphere is controlled. This prevents moisture and external contamination.

Flour extraction is facilitated by an integrated vibrating base, allowing for smooth and total discharge. These silos are also compatible with pneumatic transfer systems, to feed weighing hoppers. The supply is thus continuous to kneading or preparation lines. Syvrac also offers fabric cleaning services to ensure irreproachable sanitary conditions.

The entire structure is designed to adapt to the spaces of mills, creperies, industrial bakeries, and biscuit factories, allowing for optimal integration into the production process.

The Easyvrac® device, a patent filed by Syvrac, allows for the replacement of flexible silo fabrics while reducing production shutdowns.

Food Contact

SYVRAC flexible silos for flour are designed to guarantee maximum food safety. Manufactured with technical fabrics certified CE 1935/2004 and FDA, they prevent any particle migration into the flour and avoid cross-contamination. Thanks to their hermetic design, these silos protect the flour against moisture, pests, and external impurities. The absence of retention zones prevents residue accumulation and reduces the risks of bacterial development, thus facilitating compliance with HACCP, IFS, and BRC standards. Their flexible structure absorbs vibrations, limiting the formation of lumps and ensuring better flour preservation.

Cleaning

Flour storage requires impeccable hygiene to prevent mold, contamination, and product deterioration. Syvrac offers several cleaning methods adapted to industrial requirements:

• Dry cleaning: mechanical brushing and vacuuming with an ATEX-certified vacuum cleaner.
• Compressed air cleaning: blowing of the inner walls combined with industrial vacuuming.
• Dismantling and deep cleaning: Thanks to the Easyvrac® patent, silo fabrics can be quickly replaced and sent for specialized industrial cleaning in Syvrac workshops.

Reduced Installation Cost

Flexible silos for flour offer an economical solution compared to rigid silos made of stainless steel, resin, or steel. Their quick installation does not require heavy foundations, which reduces infrastructure costs accordingly. Thanks to their light and flexible structure, they can be installed directly in existing buildings, without requiring major adaptations. The modular system allows for easy expansion or modification of the storage capacity based on the evolution of production needs.

Stored Products

Syvrac is the specialist in flour storage, with solutions adapted to all varieties used in bakeries, pastry shops, creperies, and agri-food industries. Here is an example of the powders handled:

• Wheat Flour (T45, T55, T65, T80, T110, T150): used for breads, pastries, and industrial baked goods.
• Buckwheat Flour (sarrasin): essential for Breton galettes and organic gluten-free products.
• Corn Flour: used in the production of baked goods and gluten-free biscuits.
• Spelt and Einkorn Flour: an increasingly popular alternative in artisan baking.
• Rice Flour: a base for gluten-free products and certain specific recipes.
• Organic and Certified Flours: storage requiring strict traceability and batch separation.
• Starches and Flours (potato, wheat, corn, cassava): complementary products used to improve the texture and preservation of preparations.

Syvrac flexible silos ensure optimal preservation of all these flours, taking into account the specific constraints related to their storage: fluidization, assisted extraction, and protection against humidity.
