Mining Storage Brochure

Meridian Emulsion Storage Silos are engineered for the storage and handling of bulk emulsion products used in mining and explosives manufacturing operations. From standalone storage silos to complete drive-through loadout systems, each solution is designed to support safe, sealed, efficient material handling while meeting the specific requirements of the site and process.

Built around the demands of emulsion production and distribution, the sealed design of Meridian SmoothWall Silos promote consistent material flow, simplified cleanout, and reliable discharge performance. Fully welded construction, durable steel fabrication, and corrosion-resistant premium coatings provide long-term performance in challenging operating environments. Available in a wide range of capacities and configurations, each system can be customized with structures, load cells, access platforms, discharge equipment, and other features to support operational and regulatory requirements.

FAQ

Storage requirements depend on production rates, delivery schedules, site logistics, and desired inventory levels. Meridian works with customers to size storage systems that support operational demands while maintaining flexibility for future growth.

Material characteristics, storage volume, discharge requirements, climate conditions, site constraints, and downstream process requirements all influence silo design. Meridian engineers each system around the specific application rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

Meridian supports projects from initial concept and storage planning through engineering, manufacturing, and delivery. The goal is to ensure the storage system aligns with both operational requirements and site conditions.

Smoothwall construction helps promote material flow and simplifies cleanout by reducing areas where material can accumulate. This can help support more efficient handling and maintenance activities over the life of the system.
