Cement silo are generally used for bulk cement storage in concrete mixing plants. They are suitable for storing various bulk building materials such as cement and fly ash. The silo is equipped with a material level system that can display the location and amount of the material. The hole-breaking device can remove the solidity caused by the material being deposited for too long. The mud silo and the screw conveying pump can be used together to transport the material to various locations. The silo is easy to install, safe and reliable, and is an ideal bulk storage tank for various mixing plants.
The structure of cement silos
Cement silo is generally composed of steel structure, ladder, guardrail, feeding pipe, dust collector, pressure safety valve, high and low level gauge, unloading valve and other components.
Working principle of cement silos
When the bulk mud silo is working, it must be erected by a special crane and then placed on a prefabricated concrete foundation. The verticality of the cement silo after it is erected and the horizontal plane must be checked, and then its bottom must be welded firmly to the embedded parts of the foundation.
After the storage silo is fixed, the cement is transported to the construction site by a bulk cement truck, and then the delivery pipeline of the bulk cement truck is connected to the feed pipeline of the cement silo (cement tank), and the cement in the tank is transported to the cement silo (cement tank) through the gas pressure of the bulk cement truck.
In the process of transporting cement to the storage silo, the operator must continuously press the button of the dust collector vibration motor to shake off the cement attached to the dust collector bag to prevent the bag from being blocked and causing a warehouse explosion.
Once the bag is blocked, the pressure in the silo exceeds the safety pressure of the pressure safety valve on the top of the silo, and the pressure safety valve can be opened to release the pressure in the silo to prevent the occurrence of a warehouse explosion accident.
The fullness and lack of material in the silo can be observed by the high and low material levels.
When it is necessary to discharge the material, first open the manual discharge valve at the bottom of the cone, and then convey the cement through the cement conveying device (screw conveyor). During the discharge process, if the “arching” phenomenon occurs, press the button of the solenoid valve of the arch-breaking device in time to blow air to eliminate the “arching” and feed the material to ensure smooth cement supply.
When the cement conveying device (screw conveyor) fails, first close the manual discharge valve at the bottom of the cone to prevent cement from overflowing and causing waste.
