Benefits of Dry Silo Mortar

The benefits of the dry silo mortar system over other methods of providing mortar to site are numerous:

Remix dry silo  produced mortar contains a guaranteed cement content, controlled air and workability aid contents, contained within guaranteed mix proportions, which provide the customer with a durable mortar less susceptible to frost attack and exhibiting superior resistance to rain penetration.

Accurate and controlled pigment addition results in superior colour consistency for coloured mortar applications

There is no need to use retarders in Remix dry silo mortar, as the material only needs to be produced from the silo when it is required.

The system allows as much or as little to be produced from the silo as required, from a bucketful to a tubful, meaning wastage is kept to a minimum.

Workability of the mortar can be adjusted to meet any on site masonry application, resulting in increased productivity.

Dry material for mixing is always available from the silo whenever required - eliminating downtime and increasing productivity.

Silos take up a relatively small area on site meaning space is effectively utilised.

Mortar can be produced at the press of a button, meaning labour intensity and health and safety concerns are reduced, compared to traditional site mixing.

Material stored in the silo is not exposed to the elements so therefore retains its integrity, reducing wastage and also removing the chance of opportunist theft.

Large quantities of mortar are delivered via bulk powder tanker which reduces on site traffic movements significantly.

Site presentation is considerably improved

Noise produced by the silo mixer unit is minimal, particularly advantageous where sites are located close to schools, hospitals, existing residential areas etc.
