The Silamort ensiler has a 940 litre stainless steel container and hinged hatch. Built into the top is a powerful motorised shaft assembly to drive the cutter. The cutter sits close to the bottom of the container, and acts both as a macerator and agitator. Also in the top is a hatch for the morts. A cutout device is mounted beside the hatch and connected through the hinge, so that the engine or electric motor cannot run unless the lid is closed.

An acid pump is mounted on the side of the tank and connects via a short hose. For safety reasons, a specially made plastic shroud covers the outside of the pump, so that in the unlikely event of a punctured diaphragm, the acid will be caught by the shroud.* The pump's suction hose is connected to the acid container by a 1" hose, camlock coupling and 2" screwed fitting. On system models, a discharge pump is mounted onto the chassis beside the ensiler and connects via a valved outlet.

Freestanding ensilers are emptied by detaching the acid barrel and simply lifting the unit high enough to allow an IBC to sit under the outlet. Opening the valve allows ensiled liquid to be drained off.

For sites lacking three phase power, we recommend the hydraulic powered machine as the ideal solution. We can supply the complete package of power pack and ensiler, giving you a go-anywhere unit for use on a raft, a barge or a remote shore base.
