They are ATEX certified and have received the CE Mark Certificate as well as the Safe Contractor Certificate, which makes them accredited service providers to many industries.
Transporting the silo to the point of installation is done after thorough site visits have been completed. Safety is key and many factors need to be considered before this final step. Installation normally takes place on weekends to minimize the risk of injury and to have fewer people on site. The accessibility of the site needs to be determined, as well as the exact point of installation, which is done by the use of cranes. All hazards need to be removed and if there is an existing silo interfering with the installation, even from another manufacturer, Barton will move it as part of their comprehensive service.
Being forward thinkers, Barton has left no stone unturned with regard to built-in safety features for the maintenance process. Ladders for easy access to awkward corners as well as sufficient gantries and railings are standard and adhere to current legislation. Their safety standards go above and beyond the requirements of the industry and they have perfected the “full and half penthouse design” for ultimate safety in an enclosure at the top.
A team of experts from Barton will assist in the decision to buy the correct silo which will be needs-specific to the relevant industry. The shape and storage capacity being determined by height and diameter is influenced by inlet and outlet technicalities. Contamination of food storage is counteracted by the use of good quality materials and a well-sealed product is delivered to the end-user. Each silo is fitted with technology that will monitor the stock level of stored products. Barton silos are quipped with double membranes to circumvent the forming of condensation during temperature fluctuations.
At Barton, a bluechip service on all levels is offered to a diverse industry. Accolades from satisfied customers are the best recommendation to build on for decades to come.
