Meridian Manufacturing: Plastics Silos

Meridian Plastics Silos are engineered for plastics manufacturers that depend on consistent material quality and reliable supply to keep production running. Designed for pellets, resins, powders, flakes, and additives, these silos provide high-capacity bulk storage while helping reduce material handling, protect against contamination, and support consistent processing performance.

Built with fully welded SmoothWall construction and available with enclosed skirted designs, Meridian Plastics Silos help protect stored materials from contamination while promoting reliable material flow and clean discharge. Optional blending cone configurations support improved material homogeneity for applications where consistency in color, additives, or melt characteristics is critical. From standalone storage silos to fully integrated material handling systems, Meridian works with clients to engineer solutions around facility layouts, production goals, and material requirements.

Common Applications

  • Plastic pellet storage
  • Resin storage and handling
  • Additive and masterbatch storage

FAQ

Bulk storage can reduce packaging waste, decrease material handling requirements, improve inventory management, and help lower transportation costs by increasing storage capacity on-site.

Blending cones use gravity to help homogenize stored material during discharge. They are commonly used when maintaining consistency in color, additives, or material properties is important to the manufacturing process.

The enclosed skirted design provides protected space for blowers, piping, valves, and controls while helping shield equipment from environmental exposure and accidental damage.

Yes. Meridian can design silo systems to integrate with pneumatic conveying equipment, loading systems, processing equipment, and existing plant infrastructure.

Material flow characteristics, discharge design, blending requirements, and contamination control all influence product consistency. Meridian engineers each silo around the specific material being stored and the requirements of the manufacturing process.
