Delivering and installing more than 1000 vessels globally has made the UK-based Barton Fabrications market leader in all aspects of the silo industry, covering the whole spectrum from design to installation. With ATEX certification, the CE Mark Certificate, as well as the Safe Contractor Certificate, Barton is an accredited and trustworthy service provider.

Award-winning Barton Fabrications is the largest UK supplier of industrial silos and engages with handling partners worldwide. Barton manufactures its vessels for a range of demanding applications, providing the ultimate contamination-free storage for the food industry.

According to a spokesperson at Barton Fabrications, “Barton Fabrications originated in 1981 and is now reckoned as a well-established market leader in the design, manufacture, and installation of bulk storage solutions, the specialty being Barton aluminum and stainless steel technical silos and pressure vessels for a range of industries globally. Barton silos are sought after by food manufacturers for the storage of bulk products such as flour, sugar, starch, and any other bulk powder. Barton offers an extensive service to customers, which includes designing, manufacturing, transporting, installing, and maintaining or refurbishing these storage vessels.”

Silos are manufactured for diverse industries for customers with specific needs and requirements. Barton Fabrications devised innovative plans to customize bulk storage for the baking industry, by taking into account the content of the storage.

When ordering, or designing a silo, the height, and circumference of the vessel will be determined by the content that needs to be stored. The filling of the silo as well as the retrieving of the content is equally important and needs to be considered in the design stages of the project. Silos are fitted with state-of-the-art technology that monitors the content stock levels as well as dual membranes to eliminate condensation that takes place during temperature fluctuations.

Highly skilled and well-trained technical staff with more than 30 years of experience in this specialised industry, paired with innovative technology at their disposal, makes the team from Barton well equipped to perform any request for designing and building a silo.

Depending on the storage needs of the customer, silos are manufactured from concrete, coated steel, aluminum, stainless steel, and GRP/plastic. Aluminum is an ideal material used to manufacture silos, being strong, lightweight, self-supporting, welds easily, and contains a strong oxide layer.

The superpower of aluminum ensures that no contamination takes place and no additional treatment is required to make this silo contamination-free, which makes it ideal for the storage of food. Because it is low maintenance, a cost factor is also an important consideration.

The innovative design team at Barton Fabrications holds safety in high regard, therefore stringent built-in safety features are standard and simplify the maintenance process. Ladders are fitted for easy access to difficult corners, and sufficient gantries and railings are mounted, adhering to current safety legislation.
