Grit storage system in Müllheim TG

Switzerland

Gritting silo plant Müllheim Thurgau with two 400m3 round wooden silos

A complete silo plant with two round wooden silos with a volume of 400m3 each was built near Müllheim in Thurgau. The salt silos are made of larch wood and are supported on a duplexed steel substructure. In addition, the entire plant is automated and can be monitored via the salt manager.

The grit silo system is also equipped with a Vario silo salt dissolving system. The produced brine is conveyed to external storage containers via a pump control.
