Silo Technology for Cement and Powdered Materials
Your silo holds what’s most important: Your materials. We make sure it’s up to the task.
No matter what kind of bulk materials you store, our silo technology can be scaled to fit your setup perfectly. With IBAU HAMBURG silo engineering, you get the most efficient solution for your application, no compromises. We design and engineer silo systems configured to material behavior, discharge requirements and long-term operating goals. From central cone silos to flat storage halls or dome silos, we provide storage solutions for any cement and powdered bulk material.
From the original IBAU Central Cone Silo to the full spectrum of silo technology
Our journey started with silo engineering and unfolded from there. The pioneering IBAU HAMBURG original central cone silo introduced precise technology for full material recovery, resulting in most efficient and dust-free bulk material discharge. Today, we engineer tailored storage solutions with all kinds of silos for small and large capacities: inverted cone silos, multi-compartment silos, steel silos and dome silos for bulk materials.
At IBAU HAMBURG, we focus on your goals and requirements and handle every step, from assessing building regulations and soil conditions to commissioning and supervision of silo performance. In the past 50 years, we have engineered more than 500 different silo applications all tailored to individual capacity, time frame and budget. With IBAU HAMBURG, there will be no one-size-fits-all.

Multi-compartment cement silos tailored for multiple product batches
Multi-compartment cement silos are the most space-efficient solution for complex applications, with multiple products being stored. IBAU HAMBURG provides engineering for high-capacity storage silos securely holding up to 20 different products. With integrated mixing technology for specialty products such as clinker-reduced or fast-drying cement types, you can further improve your footprint.
Set new milestones with your next bulk material handling silo.
Enhance your plant performance with slim solutions for integrated mixing:
- ZContinuous material extraction for bulk flows of 3 to 500 t/h
- ZBulk flow level control through individual flow-control gate positioning
- Z100% space utilization with compartment heights up to 110 m
At the start of a project, you never know what will come out in the end. Every setup is different, and the best solution may in the end completely differ from the first ideas. It’s a process we go through together with our customers.”

Central cone silos for reliable mass flow discharge
The advantages of our pioneering central cone silo technology:
- ZAvailable either as single compartment silo or multi-compartment silo with up to 24 compartments for your product mixes
- ZOutstanding quality for long-term operation
- Z99% product discharge at high rates of up to 1,000 t/h
Robust and flexible storage solutions for bulk materials
When project schedules are tight, IBAU HAMBURG provides storage solutions and engineering expertise that enable fast, efficient project execution. Our steel silos and flat storage halls offer reliable, cost-effective storage with simple maintenance requirements, easy mechanical discharge, and capacities of up to 50,000 m³.
From planning to commissioning, IBAU HAMBURG develops customized storage concepts for a wide range of bulk materials, including cement, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) such as fly ash, slag, limestone and calcined clay, as well as gypsum, sand, and gravel. Every solution is designed to maximize operational efficiency, reliability, and long-term performance while keeping maintenance costs low. Looking to optimize an existing facility? Our experts assess retrofit and upgrade opportunities for existing storage systems, helping you eliminate bottlenecks, improve plant performance, and unlock additional operational benefits.
