Once Metsel have received confirmation that safe access, a silo base and appropriate power and water provisions have been made by the customer, a silo delivery date will be finalised. The silo will be delivered by a rigid or articulated truck, which will reverse up to the silo base to stand the silo on it. Bulk Silos are normally delivered with a part load of up to 15 tonnes, Site silos are delivered full with 8 Tonne. Please check your delivery ticket for the exact tonnage delivered. METSEL can also deliver silos empty at the customer’s request, e.g. where access is restricted and the customer is able to place the silo onto the base by a crane.
Silo Commission and Demonstration
A silo commission and demonstration will be arranged to coincide with a silo delivery, or at a time convenient to the customer. A Metsel engineer will connect the silo to the power and water supplies, ensuring that it is fully operational, before demonstrating its use. All appropriate personnel nominated by the customer will then receive training from the Metsel engineer in how to use the system. A trained user card will then be issued to those site personnel who have been fully trained in the operation of the system. Only those trained personnel are permitted to operate the silo. Should further personnel require training, please notify us and we will return to conduct another training session.
No attempt whatsoever must be made to use the Metsel silo prior to our engineer visiting site to test and commission the silo, control panel and mixer units.
