There is a question we get regularly from clients in West Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America: “How long does it take to get the silo here?”
A SIMEZA hopper silo with a 5,000-tonne capacity does not leave our Utebo facility as a single structure. It leaves as a precisely sequenced set of corrugated steel panels, structural rings, hopper sections, aeration components, and mechanization hardware, packed into standard 20- and 40-foot shipping containers, each numbered and documented to simplify customs clearance and on-site sequencing.
Every panel is cut and shaped to specification at our Zaragoza plant. Every load is engineered around container dimensions, not retrofitted to fit them. The sequence in which components are packed reflects the sequence in which they will be assembled, reducing on-site handling time and minimising the expertise required at the destination.
The result: a structure designed for 30 or more years of operation arrives at its destination ready to build, not ready to improvise.
This approach matters particularly in markets where port infrastructure is limited, inland transport is complex, or local crane capacity is constrained. We have delivered to all of them.
Five decades of international project experience have taught us that an elegant solution at the design stage is what makes a difficult installation possible.
We export to more than 40 countries. If you want to understand what that looks like from a logistics and engineering standpoint, contact us here
