Containerized Storage

BE&E has created robust and cost-effective biomass storage/feeder bins from repurposed sea containers to complete your quality material handling system.

The solution can be easily expanded and changed to fit current or future needs. The unique push/pull wedge floor system moves materials evenly and consistently. Our SMART Container Bins are a fast, flexible, convenient, and affordable solution for reliable and consistent feed.

  • Installs quickly, often in a day or weekend
  • Units can be stationary or mobile
  • Units can be placed side by side to offer redundancy or the blending of various materials
  • Units can be stacked vertically (up to three high) for increased capacity 
  • SMART Floors operate more efficiently and more reliably than traditional, vertical silos
  • They're a green solution: repurposed sea containers make excellent material for storage bins
  • Can be made dust tight
  • May not require building permits to operate
  • Can be easily moved and reconfigured

Mobile Option (on trailer)

  • Ready to operate upon delivery
  • SMART Floors provide accurate discharge rates
  • Quickly couples to HPU or runs from truck PTO
  • When Unit 1 is empty, Unit 2 activates and begins unloading while Unit 1 refills
  • Expandable: easily add more receiving stations
  • Units serve as your storage, transport, and metering device
