What is Dry Silo Mortar?
Dry silo mortar is a factory-batched, dry mix mortar delivered to site in a sealed silo. With the simple addition of water through an integrated mixing unit, it produces ready-to-use mortar on demand—no need for on-site batching or manual mixing. This system guarantees a high-quality mortar with each use, while reducing mess, waste, and labour effort.
