Product Profile: BMI's Silo System

Masonry examines the uses and benefits of a silo system for mason contractors.

IMAGINE: NO MORE ENORMOUS DUST PLUMES AND EMPTY CEMENT BAGS ON YOUR JOBSITE, and no more large piles of hardened material and empty pallets lying around. Dirty sand and wasted space are a thing of the past, and you can say goodbye to long set-up times, inconsistent product and unnecessary demands on your crew.

BMI dubs its Silo System as "The Clean Choice" and says it makes masonry practically a no-brainer for contractors. The system combines blending, delivery, storage, mixing and pumping into a single, seamless system.
