Dry Silo Mortars

Modern construction needs consistent quality, efficiency, and reduced waste. Dry Silo Mortar systems meet those demands by producing fresh mortar on site, while Oscrete supports the production of that mortar with advanced additive technologies and mix design guidance tailored to performance and site conditions.

What is Dry Silo Mortar?

Dry Silo Mortar (DSM) is a factory-produced blend of sand, cement, and performance additives, stored in sealed silos on site. Mortar is mixed fresh on demand using a controlled water feed, removing the need for manual batching or bulk bag storage. The result is consistent colour, workability, and performance for bricklaying, blockwork, and general masonry, making it ideal for fast-paced, high-volume builds.

Where DSM Excels

DSM is particularly suited to projects that require dependable output and continuous supply, including:

• High-volume residential developments
• Commercial and industrial construction
• Infrastructure and public sector projects
• Sites needing consistent mortar over extended periods

Whether your project runs in phases or to tight programmes, DSM helps maintain pace and quality from the first course to the last.

Oscrete’s Role: Technology + Mix Design Support

Oscrete does not supply mortar or operate silo equipment—we enable superior mortar performance. Our role is to enhance DSM production through:

• Additive technologies that improve workability retention, cohesion, and durability.
• Mix design support to help producers and partners target the right balance of strength, setting profile, workability, and finishing characteristics for different masonry applications and conditions.
• Sustainability gains, helping reduce waste and optimise material use within DSM formulations.

Our team collaborates with producers and project stakeholders to fine-tune formulations for specific substrates, ambient conditions, and programme demands so DSM systems perform reliably on site.

Benefits at a Glance

• Fresh, on-demand mixing for consistent performance and appearance
• Reduced waste and site clutter versus site batched materials
• Optimised formulations for strength class, workability, and setting times
• Support for high productivity on large scale projects
