Bulk Storage & Conveying Systems Specialists
Established in 1958, E B Equipment has built a reputation as the UK's leading manufacturer of bulk storage and conveying systems. Our expertise spans agricultural, industrial, and renewable energy sectors, delivering tailored solutions that combine innovative design with durable materials. With over 60 years of in-house manufacturing experience, we pioneered the Centreless Screw Conveyor system and maintain ISO 9001 certification for quality management. Our commitment to excellence is evidenced by our British Safety Council 5 Star Award and Sword of Honour recognition for health and safety achievements. As a family-run Yorkshire business, we operate from a 4-hectare site featuring a 5,500 sq. metre manufacturing facility equipped with the latest technology.Our engineering team utilises CAD software to eliminate potential design issues at source, ensuring every product meets exacting standards. Specialising in glass-reinforced plastic (GRP) construction, our silos and tanks offer superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional steel alternatives. We provide comprehensive solutions including storage systems for dry products, liquid fertilisers, and biomass materials, alongside automated conveying and feeding systems. Our portfolio includes over 1,000 renewable energy installations ranging from small domestic units to large-scale commercial projects. With a focus on continuous improvement, we maintain our position as market leaders through technical innovation and customer-centric service delivery.

Services
Silo Manufacturing
We design and manufacture fibreglass silos for storing dry materials including animal feeds, wood pellets, and industrial chemicals. Our GRP construction provides corrosion resistance with capacities up to 100 tonnes. The smooth internal surfaces ensure optimal material flow while maintaining structural integrity in demanding environments.
Tank Production
Our liquid storage tanks are engineered for agricultural and industrial applications including fertiliser containment and water storage. Using glass-reinforced plastic eliminates seams and corrosion issues while maintaining WRAS compliance for potable water applications. Standard capacities reach 100,000 litres with custom configurations available.
Conveyor Systems
The patented Centreless Screw Conveyor system enables efficient conveying of granules and powders with minimal product damage. Operating at lower RPMs while maintaining throughput, these systems reduce maintenance requirements and ensure dust-free operation across agricultural and industrial settings.
Biomass Storage
Specialist storage solutions for biomass materials including wood pellets and agricultural waste. Our systems maintain material integrity while enabling automated feeding to energy generation equipment. Installations range from 50kW domestic units to multi-megawatt commercial facilities with over 1,000 successful projects completed.
Feeding Systems
Automated feeding systems for poultry, pig, and dairy operations combine durability with precise material delivery. Developed through 50+ years of agricultural industry experience, these systems handle capacities from small farms to commercial units processing thousands of tonnes weekly while maintaining hygiene standards.
