Large-Scale Starch Storage & Automated Feeding Systems
CHC provides industrial starch storage and automated conveying systems integrating bulk unloading, pneumatic conveying, silo storage, inventory monitoring, automatic feeding, and starch preparation. Custom indoor and outdoor silo solutions are available for efficient and automated production.
Fully Automated Starch Handling — From Delivery to Production
In modern, high-efficiency manufacturing environments, reducing manual handling is one of the fastest ways to cut labor costs and improve consistency. Chuen Huah Chemical (CHC) engineers large-scale starch silo systems that eliminate manual starch transport entirely — from bulk delivery all the way to the paste-making process.
Natural starch is delivered by specialized bulk tanker trucks and pneumatically transferred — via high-pressure air through a dedicated conveying line — directly into the silo for storage. From there, CHC's Auto Starch Kitchen system draws starch automatically as needed for paste production, achieving a fully unmanned, end-to-end automated workflow.
Real-Time Inventory Monitoring
Every CHC silo can be equipped with load cells at the base, giving plant managers precise, real-time visibility into starch stock levels. This enables
-
Accurate replenishment planning
-
Reduced risk of production stoppages due to unexpected shortages
-
Data-driven procurement scheduling
Engineered for International Standards
CHC's silo systems are not just built — they're structurally engineered and certified to meet the regulatory requirements of every market they serve. Recent deployments include:
- 88 m³ carbon steel and stainless steel silos supplied to major packaging and materials companies in Australia and New Zealand
- Structural designs independently verified against AS/NZS 1170 (structural design actions), AS/NZS 3774 (bulk container loads), NZS 3404 (steel structures), and AS/NZS 1657 (industrial safety ladders and platforms)
- Seismic design accounting for a 50-year design life, ductile bolt connections, and full-load earthquake scenarios
- Access platforms, stairs, and railings built to local safety codes (Australian and New Zealand standards)
This track record reflects CHC's experience delivering large-scale starch storage solutions to demanding international industrial clients — not just as equipment, but as fully engineered, code-compliant installations.

Two Configurations to Fit Any Facility
| Outdoor Silo | Indoor Silo | |
| Capacity | 88–100 m³ | 20–45 m³ |
| Best for | Large-scale, high-throughput operations with outdoor space | Facilities with space constraints |
| Customization | Standard large-capacity range | Fully customized to fit existing plant layout |
| Where outdoor space is limited, CHC designs compact indoor silo systems tailored precisely to a facility's available footprint — without compromising on automation capability. | ||
Integrated System Components
Each silo is built as a complete, ready-to-operate system, including:
-
Pneumatic starch inlet (stainless steel flange)
-
Dust collector and breathing valve for safe pressure equalization
-
Level sensor for continuous volume tracking
-
Vibrator motors and rotary/knife-valve discharge for reliable, blockage-free unloading
-
