Silo Customization
The outlets on your V-Mac silo are at standard height, however we can raise or lower these to suit your particular requirements. (E.g. some customers prefer the auger connection to be at a certain height to suit their parlour set up.
Double doors (enclosed silos only)
We can install double doors on your V-Mac silo given you 70-inch-wide access under the cone. This can allow you to fill a loader bucket or with extra height give you somewhere to store a Quad!
Again, these are usually on the front right leg of a legged V-Mac silo or on the right of the door on an enclosed silo. However, we can position them wherever suits your particular needs. It is always worth checking to see how the meal truck will access the silo and where is the best position to site the pipes.
We can fit 10-inch pipe installations to your V-Mac silo which can allow you to fill bags, buckets or loader buckets. The obviously work better with some product, like pellets as against wet mixes like blends or rations. They are connected higher up on the side of the cone so they will always have to be emptied out of the bottom of the cone.
