ExpErts for silo systEmsInnovative and reliable

With one of the most modern silo production facilities, Kurz is nationally and internationally a byword for ma-

ximum functionality and efficiency in the manufacture of silos and silo installations. With our flat management

structure and a work climate characterised by mutual respect, we succeed in giving every one of our staff the

freedom they need to contribute their own ideas to the success of our company. Due to the successful fusion of

advanced technologies, cross-industry technical knowledge and decades of experience, we were able to develop,

over the last few decades, into experts who are internationally in demand for the manufacture of silos and the

engineering of complex silo installations.

We are pleased that our business success provides us with the opportunity of fulfilling our social responsibility,

for example with fund-raising initiatives. If you would like to know more about our social commitment and our

company ethics, please contact us.

Internationally in demand. Commitment from Brackenheim.

China, Australia, Brazil – almost everywhere in the world people can see that I am com-mitted to excellence, although I haven`t been to all those fascinating countries.

_We accept responsibility. For your success.

It is obvious that competent advice is the basis for the success of every project. that´s why we are happy to

look in on you, answer your questions and analyse the local situation directly at the intended plant site, draw

up a requirements plan or carry out a plant check-up. In this way we can develop solutions which meet your

requirements efficiently.

Whether new build, conversion, extension or support and maintenance – we accept responsibility for the comple-

te project handling and thus see to it that your plant becomes operational on schedule and runs reliably perma-

nently.

Cement. Fundamental.

Cement - the most frequently used basic component of concrete – the

building material per se. Where the perfect storage and safe conveying

of cement and binders is concerned, you have a reliable and competent

partner at your side with KurZ silosysteme.

non-Metallic Minerals. they can take it.

anybody working with non-metallic minerals requires technology which

can take it even in hard continuous operation. all plant components must

be extremely robust to cope with the high requirements in quarries, stone

breaking works or gravel works. KurZ silosysteme silos are.

asphalt. Pointing the way.

time is money. this is always the case, but in road building in particular.

the highest quality and reliable arrangements are crucial. that is why

asphalt specialists rely on KurZ.

Coal Dust. Powerful alternatives.

at times of rising oil prices coal gains in importance. after all, energy can

be obtained in a cost-efficient manner from pulverised coal. KurZ silo

systems – these are economic solutions which meet the strict ateX safety

standards and contribute to neither costs nor coal dust exploding.

Power stations. extra power. and safety.

Where energy is being produced, everyone responsible is under

pressure to ensure the highest levels of operational safety and economy

at all times. With our know-how we ensure that our customers can con-

centrate completely on their core business: to deliver top performance.

Mortar, Plaster & Paint. Perfectly metered. Brilliant result.

Dry storage, metering as required and dust-free conveying and loading

– these are things which we have perfectly under control with our silo

systems. KurZ supplies silo systems with which you can safely store and

meter mortars, plaster and paints, for example.

standard silos. standardised, but flexible

nonetheless.

In almost all areas of manufacturing, factory-welded

standard silos are used. We offer these silos with

diameters of 2,400 mm to 4,200 mm and volumes

from 10 m³ to 260 m³. however, larger diameters

with a greater volume are also possible. Components

such as filters, overflow protection, inspection faci-

lities and discharge equipment also form part of our

range. Various modifications like cone inclinations,

partitions and breeches-type outlets can be realized.

these standard silos are also offered as mobile, filler

or skirted silos.

Clean solutions. Completely safe.

With their safety concept, the KurZ pressure-shock

resistant coal dust silos meet all requirements and

ensure smooth operation. We will accompany you

reliably and competently from the initial works test

via the prescribed installation and test procedures

to staff training and first filling. obviously, we can

also take on maintenance and the prescribed regular

inspections of operating plants.

Keenly priced. Compact know-how.

Concentrated silo competence in a small space. you

can save a large amount of freight costs with silos

segmented for export. each of our silo units consists

of a few crane packages. these contain the com-

plete silo, all accessories as well as connectors and

seals, for installation. the individual silo segments

are stacked inside each other to save space and, on

request, packed in seaworthy crates or vacuum film

for safe transport. the silos come in diameters from

2,400 mm - 3,500 mm with volumes of 19 m³ - 180 m³.

all components such as filters, overflow protection,

inspection facilities and discharge equipment also

form part of the supply.

large projects. Highly individual.

Where size matters, we frequently use site-welded

silos. In this way, the volume can be maximised and,

at the same time, transport and handling costs mini-

mised. the individual parts which are prefabricated to

your specification are delivered in sizes appropriate

for transport and installation and are installed and

welded on site. Major components are pre-installed

by us in our factory as a check. the silos are indivi-

dually planned, structurally calculated, designed and

built. thus, we can meet even the most exceptional

requirements.

Cost-effective. And quickly installed.

Bolted silos are mainly used to store large quantities

of various bulk materials, in particular gravel, hard-

core, chippings and non-metallic minerals. the silos

are manufactured with standard diameters of 4,647 mm –

12,000 mm. Cone inclinations of 45°, 55° and 60° are

available. the bolted silos can either be open at the

top or have a flat or conical roof. the individual silo

segments are prefabricated in our factory and bol-

ted together on site quickly and easily by our expert

staff. as the silos are divided into easily transportable

segments, every site, even in distant areas, can be

reached easily by lorry or ship.

limitless possibilities. our challenge.

KurZ special silos meet the most varied require-

ments. the silos are planned and built individually to

your requirements.
