In Brief

Transloading from big-bags, octabins and 25 kg bags to silo trailers — PE, PP, PVC, PA and other bulk materials. Gravity feed, no pneumatic conveying — zero granule degradation risk. Enclosed hall, cleaning sieve, certified scale, ISO 9001:2015 documentation. 20’ and 40’ sea containers received directly on site. Chorula near Opole, A4 motorway.

PHS Magnum is the link between a supplier packing in big-bags and a factory receiving in bulk silo trailers. We accept material in big-bags, octabins or 25 kg bags and deliver it to the plant in a silo trailer, ready for pneumatic discharge onto the production line.

All operations under ISO 9001:2015. No risk of granule degradation from pneumatic conveying.

How transloading works — step by step

Incoming inspection — each big-bag or octabin is checked for correct labelling, seal integrity and contamination before feeding.
Unloading — forklift, enclosed hall (weather-independent operation).
Screening — material passes through a cleaning sieve eliminating agglomerates and solid contaminants.
Loading into the silo trailer — gravity feed, no pneumatic conveying. Zero contact with metal pipes under pressure.
Documentation — delivery note, weighing certificate, ISO 9001:2015 quality protocol.

Why no pneumatic conveying — and why that matters

Pneumatic conveyors operate at 20–40 m/s and cause:

Grain breakage and abrasion — fines are generated, causing customer complaints
Electrostatic charging — friction against metal pipe builds charge in certain polymers
Contamination — residues from previous material in the conveyor
Agglomeration — compressed air carries moisture harmful to PA, PE in some grades

Our gravity transloading eliminates all these risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard 60 m³ trailer (approx. 25 tonnes) takes 2–4 working hours depending on packaging format and material type.

Yes — 20' and 40' containers received directly on site. Unloading and transloading to a silo trailer in one location.

Yes — warehouse storage on request. Material protected from moisture and contamination.

We transload all plastic granules from our list of 18 handled materials: PVC, ABS, PP, PET, PE (HDPE/LDPE), PS, PC, PA, general granulate, regranulate and recyclates (R-PET/R-HDPE/R-PP/R-PE). Plus mineral materials (hydrated lime, Tonsil 571 FF, talc, bentonite) and urea, carbon black, pulverised coal. We do NOT transload: cement, gypsum, flour, animal feed, fine aggregates, silica, masterbatch, salt, fly ash. Material does not come into contact with pneumatic conveyors.

Yes — acceptance record, delivery note, weighing certificate, and transloading declaration per ISO 9001:2015.
