Four differences may or may not matter to you, depending on your needs and constraints. You can see them in our brochure, and here is a recap:

a. Precision Silo has a height of 300cm while Precision Silo Plus has a height of 330cm.

b. Precision Silo Plus can weigh and record the coffee conveyed into the Silo. Currently, it will show you those data in a basic way, as in the picture. We are working towards a more user-friendly interface. On the other hand, Precision Silo can’t record data itself. However, you can have similar data displayed. You just need to manually enter the coffee going in and out of your Silo.

c.Precision Silo Plus has a loading rate of 12kg/min. while the Precision Silo loading rate is 15kg/min (it takes some time for weighing processing). Both have the same unloading rate (15kg/min.)

d. Precision Silo is USD 7,000 cheaper (for retail price) than Precision Silo Plus (talk to us for pricing since there will be special prices for the Launch).

*Unless specified, we’ll use Precision Silo and Precision Silo Plus as equivalents in the rest of this FAQ.

As we install Precision Silo around the world, we will keep a map of our demo site location updated. As of now, we know the first unit will be installed in North America.

Is Precision Silo for Green or Roasted Coffee?

Both. Remember that the Precision Silo cannot be used as a blender for post-roast blending since the coffee beans fall into the hopper one chamber after another. This means that when blending with roasted coffee, you’d need to hook it up to a blender / blend your coffee manually before or after loading up the silo.

We recommend a complete clean-up of the Precision Silo every six months. The main parts to highlight are the auger, storage chambers, feeder, and lift. It would take about half a day to do a deep cleaning. As we install the first unit, we’ll send complete instructions on how to clean it. It would involve an air gun pushing dust through all the components and a vacuum hose.

In this launch period, we are open to doing custom size, as long as it’s bigger and not smaller. We need to know your requirements before doing a custom-house survey for you. See more info about our Custom House projects process and pricing.

Two technicians will take about four days to assemble and commission our first Precision Silo. As we get more familiar with the assembly and commissioning, and to keep costs low, this time will be reduced, and we’ll offer assembly done by the customer. To not penalize our first customer, we’ll offer a discounted launch price of the Silo to compensate for the potential longer time for commissioning and assembly.
