Horizontal Cement Silo
Horizontal cement silo is a closed storage device for storing bulk cement, fly ash, mineral powder and other powdery and granular materials. Compared with vertical cement silos, horizontal cement silos are horizontally placed cylindrical or elliptical in shape, and are usually used in places where space is limited or frequent movement is required, such as small concrete mixing plants, construction sites, etc. Horizontal cement silos have the advantages of compact structure, easy movement, and small footprint.

Product Structure
The structure of horizontal cement silo mainly includes the following parts:
Silo: The silo is the main part of the horizontal cement silo, usually in a horizontal cylindrical or elliptical shape, welded from steel plates. Reinforcement ribs are provided inside the silo to improve its strength and stability. Feed and discharge ports are provided at both ends of the silo for receiving and discharging materials.
Support structure: The support structure of the horizontal cement silo usually includes legs and foundation. The legs can be fixed or adjustable to support the silo and maintain its stability.
Dust removal system: In order to prevent dust pollution and ensure the fluidity of materials, horizontal cement silos are usually equipped with dust removal systems. The dust removal system includes dust collectors, pipes and fans, etc., which can effectively remove dust in the silo.
Arch breaking device: In order to prevent the material from arching in the silo and affecting the discharge, the horizontal cement silo is usually equipped with an arch breaking device. The arch breaking device can be a pneumatic vibrator, an air cannon or a mechanical vibrator, etc.
Level meter: The level meter is used to monitor the height of the material in the silo so that the material can be replenished or stopped in time. Common level meters include capacitive, radar and ultrasonic types.
Discharging device: The discharging device usually includes manual or pneumatic butterfly valves, screw conveyors, etc., which are used to control the discharge of materials.
Working principle
The material enters the silo through the feed port. The feeding process can be achieved through pneumatic conveying, screw conveyors or elevators. After the material enters the silo, it naturally accumulates under the action of gravity. The space inside the silo is used to store materials, and the storage capacity is determined by the silo volume and material density. When the material needs to be discharged, the discharge device (such as a butterfly valve) is opened, and the material is discharged from the discharge port under the action of gravity. In order to prevent the material from arching and affecting the discharge, the arch breaking device will be started regularly or as needed to destroy the arch of the material. During the feeding and discharging process, the dust removal system will continue to work to remove dust in the silo to ensure the fluidity of the material and the air quality.
Product Advantages
Compact structure and easy to move: It adopts horizontal design, compact structure, easy to move, and is suitable for occasions with limited space or frequent movement.
Small footprint: Compared with vertical cement silos, horizontal cement silos have a smaller footprint and can effectively save space.
