Bulk storage and handling expert Portasilo to exhibit at European Coatings Show

Bulk materials handling engineering firm Portasilo is returning to the European Coatings Show at the Nuremberg Exhibition Centre, Germany (21-23 April).

UK-based Portasilo has been delivering complex bulk material storage and handling systems, from design and manufacture to install and commission, to customers in the international chemical and paint sectors for 60 years. Its European team will be available in Hall 6, Stand 6-313 to talk about its cost-effective handling systems for all types of dry bulk materials.

Components of its systems on display at the show include the market-leading low-profile Rotoflo discharger, which offers a highly controlled, reliable means of discharging difficult materials from silos.

Portasilo’s industry experience includes projects of all sizes for clients including PPG, Crown Paints, Berger Paints, Asian Paints, Akzo Nobel and Hempel Paints.

The company has an extensive advanced engineering and manufacturing facility in Yorkshire, England where laboratory tests can be carried out at its Technical Innovation Centre to determine the properties of any material so that its engineers can specify the best combination of silos, dischargers and conveyors to efficiently store and handle that product.

Portasilo’s MD Neil Gardiner said: "The European Coatings Show is an important date in our calendar, giving us the chance to catch up with the industry’s latest innovations. It attracts influential buyers and suppliers from all over Europe and we look forward to catching up with both new and familiar faces to share our industry achievements and successes."
