Meridian Manufacturing’s Mobile Cement Silo: A Smarter, Safer Solution for On-Site Cement Storage

When it comes to modern construction and industrial operations, efficiency, mobility, and safety are paramount. Meridian Manufacturing’s Mobile Cement Silo delivers all three – and more. Designed with the end user in mind, this next-generation bulk storage solution stands out as an innovative alternative to traditional cement pigs. Whether you’re on a remote job site or an urban development project, the Mobile Silo brings unmatched convenience and control to your operation.

Designed for Fast Deployment and Easy Mobility

Time is money. Meridian understands this, which is why the Mobile Cement Silo is engineered to be fully operational within 15 minutes of delivery. No cranes. No heavy setup equipment. The silo arrives on a unique trailer system that allows for rapid deployment with minimal labor.

Its heavy-duty skid base provides outstanding stability without the need for poured foundations or major site prep. That means reduced site costs, quicker transitions between jobs, and more uptime for your crews. With Meridian’s mobile design, moving, loading, storing, and transferring materials becomes a seamless part of your workflow.

Compact Footprint, Big Performance

A standout feature of the Meridian Mobile Cement Silo is its compact footprint. Traditional cement pigs are cumbersome and space-consuming, often taking up more real estate than necessary. In contrast, Meridian’s design allows you to store up to four mobile silos in the same area typically occupied by one cement pig.

But don’t be fooled by its smaller size – performance isn’t compromised. The silo boasts a capacity of up to 192 tons (packed at 90 lbs./cf) and stands 48 feet tall with a 12’5” by 12’5” base. This means more material storage with less ground impact, ideal for tight or temporary job sites.

Engineered for Versatility and Safe Operation

Meridian’s Mobile Silo is built to handle a range of non-abrasive materials including cement, fly ash, lime, calcium, and barite. The internal and external powder coating not only extends the life of the silo but also ensures consistent material flow, reducing the risk of buildup or clogging.

The silo incorporates advanced safety and control features including:
– Overfill alarms and level indicators
– Pinch valves and over-pressure switches
– LED work lights for enhanced visibility
– Full-length ladder for safe top access

With a fully pre-wired automatic control panel, operators can monitor and manage operations with ease. Manual/auto switches, alarm systems, and emergency stops give crews complete control and peace of mind during operation.

Superior Loading and Discharge Systems

Meridian offers two powerful unloading options tailored to meet your operational needs:

1. Blower Unload
   – 60HP blower package with TEFC motor
   – 2,688 ft³/hour max output
   – Self-contained system compatible with site or generator power
   – Twin 5” fill lines allow dual truck unloading
   – Low-pressure purge system for clean material transfer
2. Auger Unload
   – Remote-controlled 10” cement screw powered by a 25HP electric motor
   – High discharge rate of 3,000 lbs/min
   – Breakaway auger for easy transport
   – Declining weight system for pre-determined volume loading
   – Integrated scale system for real-time inventory tracking

These features aren’t just high-tech – they’re highly practical. Unlike cement pigs, Meridian’s Mobile Silo can fill and discharge simultaneously. That means no downtime between operations, keeping your materials moving and your project on track.

Built-In Dust Management

Cement dust and particulate matter aren’t just messy – they’re hazardous and heavily regulated. Meridian’s integrated high-efficiency dust collector captures airborne particulates at the point of discharge. Traditional pigs either vent to the atmosphere or require an additional receiving silo, increasing cost and complexity. Meridian’s Mobile Silo simplifies compliance and keeps your site cleaner and safer.

Energy Efficiency and Cost Effectiveness

Energy savings are another key advantage. Cement pigs rely on pressurizing the entire vessel, a process that’s both energy-intensive and inefficient. Meridian’s design only pressurizes the lines, dramatically reducing energy consumption. The result is lower operating costs and a greener footprint without compromising on performance.

And with a cost comparable to traditional cement pigs, the Mobile Silo offers exponentially more value – mobility, speed, automation, and safety rolled into one rugged package.

The Smarter Choice for Modern Bulk Storage

Whether you’re running a precast facility, setting up a remote batch plant, or working on a fast-paced civil infrastructure project, Meridian Manufacturing’s Mobile Cement Silo is built to outperform and outlast the alternatives. It’s not just a piece of equipment—it’s a productivity tool designed to reduce downtime, cut costs, and improve operational safety.

By investing in Meridian’s Mobile Silo, you’re not just upgrading your bulk storage system – you’re investing in a smarter, more agile future for your business.
