For most plastics processors, resin and material storage capabilities are placed on the back burner when installing a new line or rolling out a new product requiring different materials.
Unfortunately, finding the right storage solution can present headaches that take plant managers by surprise:
- Lead times on storage equipment are extreme
- The large footprint of bulk storage solutions reduce space available for more profitable processes
- Huge storage units make for complicated installations that take a toll on your workforce
These problems are solved by people, not products. Work with the equipment experts at Conair to implement right-fit solutions and eliminate your headaches along the way.
Material Storage with Conair
-
Unlock the benefits of high-volume storage
Reduce procurement costs, sidestep resin price spikes and head off supply chain volatility with bulk silo storage. Increased storage capacity opens the valve to greater inventory consistency and smoother logistics across the production line. If that means ditching the truckloads and buying resin by railcar, Conair can even assist with unloading the material at your facility.

Shift the hassle off your plate
Silo installs are clunky, expensive drags on production efficiency. With the labor market and supply chain in recovery mode, you may not even have the time or capacity at your disposal. But Conair makes it easy. We’ll bring the most experienced project managers in the plastic industry to your facility, along with a fully staffed installation team.

Don’t let lead times lead to bigger problems
The last time you purchased a silo, it may have taken less than 12 weeks to arrive. Now, across North America, we see silo lead times hovering around one year. Take care to work with experts and be sure to plan ahead – experienced project managers can help ease the pain of waiting.
