Navigating Our Solutions: Silo Services vs. Bulk Products
At MERCOL, we engineer premium-grade, factory-blended dry mixes designed to elevate the efficiency, safety, and quality of your project. We supply our products to suit the individual project constraint and offer: Silo Services and Bulk Products. Both options deliver the same industry-leading consistency, strength, and quality control.
Silo Services
Bulk Products
Ultimate On-Site Efficiency
Our Silo Services represent the pinnacle of material management and labour efficiency.
- The set-up: We place a weather-proof, sealed silo (ranging from our 1.2m³ Piccolo to our high-capacity 6m³ units) with a minimal footprint on your site.
- How it works: Connect to 3-phase power and water, and the system operates at the push of a button. It automatically and precisely blends our dry factory mix with water to your exact desired consistency—providing instant mortar in a huge range of colours (or basic grey), screed, or core-fill on demand.
- Best for: Medium to large-scale commercial, civil, or residential projects looking to minimise bricklaying gang downtime, eliminate manual mixing, maintain a safe and tidy site, and deliver perfectly colour matched mortar with exactly the same strength and consistency every time.
Logistics Flexibility
For projects requiring lower daily volumes or those facing site constraints, our Bulk Products provide flexibility without sacrificing product integrity.
- The set-up: You receive our premium, factory-controlled dry formulas—including our comprehensive range of grey and custom-matched coloured mortars, renders, and screeds in moisture proof bulk bags..
- How it works: Our factory produced dry-mix is delivered pre-blended and ready to be mixed manually.
- Available in: 1-ton bulk bags or standard 20kg bags, shipped to job sites across Australia – Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra.
- Best For: Smaller builds, internal fit-outs, or tight urban job sites where physical clearance or utility configurations (such as dedicated 3-phase power and water pressure) make silo placement impractical.
