Bulk Material Transport – Granules, Recyclates

At a glance

Bulk material transport in pneumatic silo trailers — plastic granules (PE, PP, PVC, ABS, PET, PS, PA), recyclates (R-PET, R-HDPE, R-PP), minerals (hydrated lime, talc, bentonite, Tonsil 571 FF) and carbon black. Our own fleet: 26 DAF XF 480 Euro 6 tractors, 31 silo trailers of 55–65 m³, including dedicated food-grade units. ISO 9001:2015, base in Chorula (Gogolin municipality, 4 km from the A4), transport across Poland and the entire European Union (including Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Benelux, France, Italy and Scandinavia). We do not transport cement — our specialisation is granules, recyclates and industrial minerals.

How to order bulk material transport — step by step

1. Enquiry — +48 602 716 551: material type (granulate / recyclate / mineral / carbon black), tonnage, loading and unloading points, date, requirements (e.g. food-grade).
2. Trailer selection and quote — we assign a trailer dedicated to the category (food-grade, industrial, minerals, carbon black) and provide a quote and the earliest date.
3. Schedule and trailer positioning — we agree the loading date; regular contracts get a fixed schedule and priority.
4. Loading and transport — pneumatic loading from a silo or from big-bags; Euro 6 transport (access to DE/AT low-emission zones), e-CMR with photo documentation.
5. Unloading and documentation — pneumatic discharge at the customer, tank cleanliness certificate (food-grade), batch traceability per ISO 9001:2015.

Bulk material transport — full scope

PHS Magnum specialises in bulk material transport by pneumatic silo trailer across Poland and the entire EU. The fleet: 26 DAF XF 480 Euro 6 tractors, 31 silo trailers of 55-65 m³, including units dedicated to food-grade products and recyclates.

To be clear about our specialisation: we do NOT transport cement — we focus on plastic granules, recyclates and industrial minerals.

Material categories we handle

Plastic granules

PHS Magnum’s core specialisation. Full support for:

• PE (polyethylene) — HDPE and LDPE, bottles, films, packaging
• PP (polypropylene) — food packaging, textiles, engineering plastics
• PVC (polyvinyl chloride) — construction, cable and profile grades
• PET — bottle-grade granulate (food-grade and industrial)
• ABS — home appliances, automotive, electronics
• PS (polystyrene) — packaging, insulation
• PA (polyamide) — engineering plastics, fibres

Details: Plastic granule transport

Recyclates (regranulates)

The fastest-growing segment following the entry into force of the EU PPWR Regulation (12 August 2026), which mandates recycled content in packaging:

• R-PET — recycled PET bottle grade, food-grade and industrial
• R-HDPE / R-LDPE — recycled polyethylene
• R-PP — recycled polypropylene (the segment with the strongest growth outlook for 2026-2035)
• R-ABS, R-PS — niche segments

Details: Recyclate transport

Bulk minerals

Industrial materials — mainly for the construction, chemical and cosmetics industries:

• Hydrated lime — construction and environmental applications
• Talc — cosmetics, food industry, rubber
• Bentonite — drilling, foundry and cosmetics industries
• Tonsil 571 FF — an industrial sorbent
• Fly ash — construction (clinker substitutes)
• Quicklime — chemical industry

Details: Bulk mineral transport

Carbon black

An industrial pigment — carried by a separate silo trailer fleet due to its specific nature (colour, contamination risk, strict cleanliness requirements between loads):

• Carbon black (technical grades) — rubber, printing and cosmetics industries
• Furnace black — various particle-size specifications

Details: Carbon black transport

What we do NOT transport

A deliberate decision by PHS Magnum — we do not transport materials that:

• Require specialist cement silo trailers (cement, Portland clinker)
• Are fundamentally incompatible with our segment (heavily abrasive dusting materials — gypsum, dusting silica)
• Carry specialist ADR requirements beyond our certification (certain toxic dusts)

A full exclusion list is provided during the ordering process. For materials outside our specialisation, we recommend partner carriers.

Operating standards

Certificates

• ISO 9001:2015 (DEKRA) — quality management system, certificate current
• OCS Europe — implementation in progress (Operation Clean Sweep for pellet volumes >1,500 tonnes/year)
• RecyClass — planned for food-grade recyclates

Procedures

• Batch traceability (batch number, PCR Content certificate for recyclates)
• Tank cleanliness certificate (food-grade)
• Digital CMR (e-CMR) with a loading photo
• Cleaning procedure between cycles (dry-air blow-through, wet washing when changing category)

Safety

• On-board Pellet Loss Prevention equipment (scoops, collection bags, funnels) — per EU 2025/2365
• Drivers trained in PPLP procedures since 2025
• ADR equipment (for materials requiring classification)
