Sand Stock Bunkers Sent to Kütahya: Why Buffer Storage Matters on a Line

The sand stock bunkers we manufactured are on their way to the construction site in Kütahya, and we wish our customer every success with them. Being able to build every piece of equipment a site requires, at high quality and performance, means auxiliary units like these are designed to match the main line.

When people talk about a line, the stock bunker is rarely the first thing that comes to mind, yet it is one of the parts that has the greatest influence on material flow. Crushing and screening run non-stop while loading happens in batches; the bunker fills the gap between these two different rhythms.

Without a bunker, production is at the mercy of the loading pace.

When a truck is late the conveyor stops, and when the conveyor stops so does the crusher. Once a buffer volume sits in between, the line keeps running at its own speed and loading proceeds as a separate job.

On a sand line the bunker has one more task: water drains out of the washed material here. As a result, the product has a more even moisture level than sand dumped straight onto a pile.
