Vertical Cement Silo
Vertical cement silo is a closed storage equipment for storing bulk cement, fly ash, mineral powder and other powdery and granular materials. It is widely used in the production of building materials such as concrete mixing plants and dry mortar production lines. Vertical cement silo has the advantages of small footprint, large storage capacity, easy installation and simple operation. It is an indispensable storage equipment in modern building material production.

Product Structure
The structure of vertical cement silo mainly includes the following parts:
Silo: The silo is the main part of the vertical cement silo, usually cylindrical or conical, welded from steel plates. Reinforcement ribs are provided inside the silo to improve its strength and stability. A feed port is provided at the top of the silo for receiving materials; a discharge port is provided at the bottom for discharging materials.
Support structure: The support structure of the vertical 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: 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 vertical 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 as to replenish the material or stop feeding 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
Large storage capacity and small footprint: It adopts a vertical design with large storage capacity but small footprint, which can effectively save space.
Simple structure and easy installation: The vertical cement silo has a simple structure, is easy to install, and can be put into use quickly.
