The requirement of the customer to achieve a self-sufficient supply of raw material in Asia within 3-9 years could also be fulfilled, because the German loading concept that was used for the test, can be applied in Asia as soon as the quality of the dry bulk material there has reached European standards.

Great Independence

For the customer an Asian site is only feasible, if a general independence of Europe can be achieved in mid-term.

Furthermore, the supply with spare parts for the loading and unloading systems have to be considered and secured. Siloadmaxx ensures this by the use of standardized equipment (e.g. ISO containers). Also, with the help of an elaborate licensing concept, licensee customers are able to produce particular components and complete systems locally.

Positive Test Results

With its system Siloadmaxx has meet all test requirements. The decisive reason for the customer to investigate a supply chain concept based on the siloadmaxx systems was the potential for time- and cost savings. In summary, the concept offers the following solutions to the customer:

• Use of a flexible container site instead of expensive tower silos.
• Increased process efficiency by significantly increased container utilization.
• Reduced complexity of the supply chain.
• Highly flexible supply of raw materials.
