SCE integrates modular square bins into feedmills by producing and assembling silo buildings for storage of granular and powdered products. The square SCE silos are compact and allow less wasted space than cylindrical silos. They can be tightly integrated within production processes and allow factories to build machine towers and bulk loading bins on a compact surface. SCE bins meet industry standards and increase operational efficiency for feed mills.
