Main advantages:

1. Corrosion-proofing
   The facility is built entirely in high quality materials (vitrified sheet metal for the container, INOX AISI 316 L stainless steel for the discharge equipment, galvanized steel for framework and auxiliary structures) which have demonstrated extreme durability in previous installations.

2. Seal-proofing
   Because the facility is completely seal proof (verified with a leak test when installation is completed), the ensilaged material receives optimum storage; the salt maintains is chemical-physical characteristics over time (even years), guaranteeing in all situations the correct loading of the vehicles used for spreading.

3. Modularity
   The facility is arranged into multiple modules, a characteristic that enables an infinite amount of salt to be stored, from a minimum capacity of 500 tonnes to even thousands of tonnes according to need.

4. Discharge speed
   The simplified discharge system enables the operators to effect a fully automatic discharge of 10,000 kg of salt in less than one minute without having to move the vehicle to ensure even distribution of the deicer inside the vehicle body. This translates into quick and effective spreading operations by road maintenance vehicles. As a result, carriageways are cleared faster and automobile safety is increased.
   It is a noted fact that prompt spreading of salt on roadways avoids or reduces to a minimum slowdowns and/or accidents resulting in serious interruptions in road circulation.

5. Discharge precision
   Each column of the facility rests on a high-precision load cell (maximum combined error 0,075%), which makes it possible to perform statistical management of the quantities stocked and supplied by the plant. 

6. Reduced power consumption
   The amount of power required for each salt discharge procedure is 1.5 kW. This is limited to the power used for the movement of the discharge gate, i.e., the phases (lasting fractions of a second) when the gate opens and closes at the start and end of the discharge. The expenses for the management and maintenance of this process are minimal.

7. Reliability
   The presence of several hoppers, i.e., many gravity discharge systems completely independent from each other, guarantees that there will always be a sufficient number to supply the salt spreaders, even in the event of emergency conditions.

8. Comfort and safety
   Carico del sale al riparo da avverse condizioni atmosferiche degli spargitori e degli autisti.

9. Minor environmental impact
   The facility’s special "building type" structure and the possibility to envelop the structure with curtain wall in a preferred colour and type allows it to be perfectly integrated with the architecture of the surroundings.

10. Vehicle storage
    The building type facility also features automated doors, enabling the safe storage of vehicles or other equipment year-round.
