Description
Wood Waste Silos & Shavings Bins
Airtight Solutions designs and supplies wood waste silos, shavings bins and storage systems for industrial facilities generating significant volumes of sawdust, wood shavings and timber processing waste.
Designed as part of a complete dust extraction and waste handling system, silos provide centralised storage for material collected from production processes before it is transported, processed or directed to another stage of the waste management system.
From Dust Extraction to Waste Storage
A silo doesn’t operate in isolation.
Material collected by a dust extraction system can be transported to a central silo or shavings bin using suitable conveying equipment.
Depending on the application, the wider system can incorporate:
Dust extraction → Material separation → Conveying → Silo storage → Waste processing or discharge
Airtight can engineer these components as an integrated system, helping businesses manage material from the point it is extracted through to storage and downstream handling.
Designed Around Your Facility
Fuel Bin Design Matters
Correct fuel bin design is critical to reliable material storage and discharge. The wrong configuration can lead to material bridging, ineffective filling and difficulties discharging stored material.
The right design depends on the application and the characteristics of the material being handled. Airtight Solutions offers wood waste silos, fuel bins and shavings bins in multiple configurations to suit different industries, materials and fuel types.
Systems can be designed with outfeed screw or moving floor discharge arrangements, depending on the application and how the stored material needs to be transferred or processed.
Centralised Storage for Wood Waste
Woodworking and timber processing facilities can generate substantial quantities of sawdust, shavings and other wood waste.
Rather than relying on multiple smaller collection bins, a centralised wood waste silo provides greater storage capacity and can be integrated with the site’s dust extraction and material handling equipment.
Airtight can design the storage system around the volume and type of material generated, available site space and how the collected waste will ultimately be handled.
More Than Just Waste Storage
Once wood waste has been collected and stored, there may be opportunities to reduce its volume or prepare it for another use.
Airtight’s wider wood waste handling range includes industrial shredders and briquetting equipment, allowing suitable wood waste streams to be processed as part of a more complete waste management system.
For facilities investigating energy recovery, Airtight also supplies wood waste fired heat plants as part of its broader waste-to-energy capability.
Need a Better Way to Manage Wood Waste?
Generating more sawdust and shavings than your existing waste collection setup can comfortably handle?

Integrated Material Handling & Storage
Airtight can design the fuel bin as part of the wider extraction and material handling system rather than as a standalone storage vessel.
Depending on the application, systems can incorporate:
- Integration and automation with the dust extraction system
- Material transfer and conveying systems
- Outfeed screw discharge
- Moving floor storage and discharge
- Level indicators for monitoring bin filling
- Alerts for filling and other operating issues
- Integration with downstream wood waste processing or fuel handling equipment
This provides a coordinated system from material extraction and transfer through to storage and discharge.
Proven Storage Capacities from 30–180 m³
Airtight has standard fuel bin designs ranging from 30 m³ to 180 m³, with designs proven through years of continuous operation.
The appropriate capacity and configuration can be selected around the volume and type of material generated, available site space, filling method, discharge requirements and downstream process.
For applications outside the standard configurations, Airtight can assess the specific material handling and storage requirements to determine an appropriate solution.
I’d also adjust the earlier section to introduce fuel bins more prominently. Something like:
Wood Waste Silos, Fuel Bins & Shavings Bins
Airtight Solutions designs and supplies wood waste silos, fuel bins and shavings bins for the storage and handling of sawdust, wood shavings and timber processing waste.
Available in standard designs from 30–180 m³, systems can be configured around the material being handled and the required filling and discharge method. Options include outfeed screw and moving floor designs, with integration into extraction, material transfer and monitoring systems.
