How to optimize the bulk transport of compound feed to farms?
French leader on the market for bulk livestock feed tanks, VRAC PLUS tanks are recognized for their quality, robustness and longevity.
The VRAC PLUS group (TSCI and GUILLONNEAU) has been designing and manufacturing for over 30 years:
- semi-trailers
- tanks on carriers
- trailers.
In 2020, the 2,000th bulk tank left our workshops.
Each VRAC PLUS tanker is the result of an exchange between you, your logistics or sales team, and your VRAC PLUScontact, which makes them unique and adapted to your operational needs.
For each project, many points must be observed:
- Dimensions/volume,
- Compartmentalization,
- Empty weight,
- The configuration of the farms (type, access, size),
- The products transported,…
A dedicated design office and a technical team are mobilized to build your bulk livestock feed tank project. Thanks to your specifications and the personalization that we can provide you, we give you all the cards in hand to optimize your bulk transport.
The TSCI and GUILLONNEAU bodies are ISO 9001 certified and UTAC qualified operator, which gives you the guarantee of a product conforming to your order and an operational vehicle as soon as it leaves the workshop.

VRAC PLUS tankers ensure the quality of the products transported
Ensuring the quality of delivered products is essential in the field of animal nutrition. VRAC PLUS tanks have characteristics (extraction screw, design of hatches and tank), which provide these guarantees from the factory to the breeder's silo or the place of delivery.
For example, VRAC PLUS has eliminated cylinders and hoses inside the compartments. Thanks to these characteristics, you limit the risk of food pollution by hydraulic oil. The compartments are free of all accessories, clean without fairings, making them easier to clean and reducing product retention.
The compartment hatches are also waterproof, to avoid the risk of contamination between foods.
VRAC PLUS also integrates technical specifications into its bodies which allow:
- cleaning the conveyors by fan (“All in the silo” system), which allows residues remaining in the screws to be cleaned.
- the external cleanliness of the tank (fairing of the gangway elements and the bottom of the tanks).
Gain productivity and quality with VRAC PLUS tanks
VRAC PLUS bodies have been recognized for many years for their unloading performance thanks to their extraction screw. The scraper screws have an even improved unloading rate thanks to their new diameters. The advantages of weight and volume, which made this configuration successful, are obviously retained.
VRAC PLUS also offers ever more innovative solutions to meet developments in the animal nutrition profession and increase productivity:
- The unloading of transported products is fully supervised using a 10'' touch screen. This solution, called e-silo, provides your driver with greater ease of use, thanks to a clear overview of the tank's functions. The e-silo system also tracks operations carried out on the vehicle. So, if you need to trace a delivery route, you can do so easily by accessing the event log.
- Deliveries can also be secured to limit the risk of delivery errors. This traceability is done with the recognition of silos by RFID tag or QR CODE: you can therefore be certain that the right compartment is delivered to the right silo.
Always more adapted to the constraints and requirements of livestock deliveries, VRAC PLUS bodies are now essential on the animal nutrition market.
