SN Engineering products
Monolithic-welded storage silo
Offering a fully-welded construction, the silos range in size from 25-80m3 and are designed for quick and simple installation. The silo has pressed ribs for extra strength and features a dual design for ease of road or container transhipping around the world.
The polyurethane finish can be tailored to a clients colour request and features a HDG ladder and perimeter hand railing, including rest platforms, for full compliance and safety. There are also a full range of dressings for ease of single supply and shipment.
Transportable - bolted storage silo
Featuring bolted construction and an optimised design that ensures the minimal number of panels are used, this silo is built for accuracy and to minimises installation time, costs and shipping. It ranges in size from 3.5mø to 7.6mø and has optional cone angles to match product characteristics.
It comes with twin or triple outlets, has the option of full cladding for lower structures and also has fully guarded access ladders or “z” access stairways.
Dockside Terminals
Originally designed to be located on the dockside, these silos are low profile and low load bearing and minimise static loadings, which is ideal for sites with poor substrates. As a result, customers can make significant savings on civil works, compared to traditional vertical storage facilities, and they are robust because they have been designed to endure the rigours of ship unloading.
Featuring a unique modular design, with each module offering 1260m3 in geometric capacity, it means customers can easily subdivide multiple products within the same module.
Large capacity storage silo
Featuring bolted construction and an optimised design that ensures the minimal number of panels are used, this silo is built for accuracy and to minimises installation time, costs and shipping. It ranges in size from 9.5mø 15mø and has optional cone angles to match product characteristics.
Bespoke storage silos
SN Engineering can provide fully bespoke solutions to meet a customers’ requirements and continues to add a range of options to include in the silos it manufactures. Some of the latest variations include, a fully skirted option for silos larger than 3.5mø and a roof-mounted skirt option to create a low-cost penthouse with maximum aesthetic appeal.
They are also offering low level, fully equipped plug & go horizontal silos along with specially-designed, fully- welded units and a bespoke articulated intermediary tanker loading silo for use in transferring ship hold products directly to tankers.
It ranges in capacity from 900-5000m3 and comes with single or twin outlets. The special low profile can come with an aerated cone option for specific applications and a roof penthouse is also available to protect dust filters, conveying systems, etc
The silo features filling lines up to 400ø, with crash boxes and/or divert lines easily incorporated into the design, and it can also include multiple nest options to suit individual needs.

Kistler-Morse
Suitable for almost all types of vessels, Kistler-Morse products include bolt-on strain gauges, load and tension cells, as well as load stands, and more. We have access to the full range and can supply or supply and fit across the whole of the UK.
MICROCELL® BOLT-ON SENSOR
The Microcell is an easy to install bolt on strain gauge sensor that produces an electrical output proportional to the changes in weight of a vessel.
- An empty vessel is not required for installation or calibration. This allows for increased up-time.
- No special tools are required for installation.
- Immune to material characteristics like angle of repose, rat-holing, bridging, moisture content, compaction, vapors and dust
- For vessels with a capacity of 75,000 lbs or more
Repairs and retrofitting can occur without taking the silo out of commission.

LD3XI/LD3XIC™ LOAD CELL
Available with a cage (LD3xiC) or stand-alone (LD3xi), these load cells provide higher accuracies and are best used for in-process applications with smaller capacities.
- Constructed of 17-4 Stainless steel, heat treated to PH900 for a strong, low profile load cell
- IP68 Rated for water resistance
Sensors can be replaced without modification to the tank
TC1 & TC2 TENSION CELL
Designed for industrial inventory management and process applications; construction is alloy steel with nickel plate for corrosion resistance.
- Expanded Capacities – Now up to 110,000 lbs (50,000 kg) capacity
- No moving parts to wear out or fall out of adjustment
- Fully sealed IP67, waterproof for outdoor and indoor applications
- TC1 models are NTEP Certified
- TC1 model capacities up to 5 ton – eyebolt and rod & clevis hardware
TC2 model capacities up to 50 ton – shackle hardware
LD360S™ LOAD CELL
Simple, self-contained design virtually eliminates bacteria hiding places and withstands rigorous CIP cleaning practices.
- Standard load ranges are from 1,000 lb (453 kg) to 25,000 lb (11340 kg) per support
- Easy to install with a single footprint and height dimension
- Minimal deflection reduces plumbing effects for better system accuracy
- Optional hardware with built-in leveling features eliminates the need for shimming
NEMA – 6P water resistant
LD3™ COMPRESSION LOAD CELL
The robust and versatile LD3 weight sensor is installed under a load bearing support. This load cell compensates for changes in output due to the natural movement of a vessel.
- Mechanically secure by being bolted together rather than having floating mounting hardware
- Mounting hardware options attach to different types of tanks; including horizontal tanks
- Allows for thermal changes, providing accurate readings when physical changes in the tank occur due to thermal expansion and contraction
- Constructed of 17-4 Stainless steel, heat treated to PH900 for a strong, low profile load cell
NEMA – 6P water resistant
L-CELL® BOLT-ON SENSOR
The L-Cell sensor bolts directly to a vessel’s support structure and measures changes in stress of the support, converting a voltage output into a readable weight.
- Easy to install – an empty vessel is not required for installation or calibration, this increases up-time. No special tools are required.
- Ideal bolt-on solution for skirted silos of at least 75,000 lb capacity
- Do not have to lift or modify the vessel to attach the sensor to the support beam
- Repairs and retrofitting can occur without taking the silo out of commission.
Immune to material characteristics like angle of repose, rat-holing, bridging, moisture content, compaction, vapors and dust
