How to choose a cement silo (cement tank)?

 

Bulk cement tanks, also known as bulk cement silos, are closed tanks for storing bulk materials. They are suitable for storing various materials such as grain, cement, fly ash, etc.

The tank is equipped with a positioning system that can display the position and weight of the material. The hole-breaking device can remove the solidity caused by the material being deposited for too long. Bulk cement tanks, cement silos and screw conveying pumps can be used together to transport materials to various locations.

The tank is easy to install and safe and reliable. It is an ideal bulk cement tank and cement silo for various mixing stations.

 

The correct selection of cement silos (cement tanks) is an important guarantee for the safe operation of subsequent work.

The following points should be noted when choosing:

(1) Whether the bottom of the support leg of the flake vertical cement silo (cement tank) is welded firmly to the embedded parts of the foundation, and whether the support leg is deformed. The foundation must be firm and meet the architectural design specifications, otherwise a collapse accident will occur.

(2) The entire set of equipment must have good wind and lightning protection measures. Since bolted type cement silos (cement tanks) are usually taller than surrounding buildings and equipment, they are more susceptible to cyclones and lightning strikes, so they must have good lightning protection facilities.

(3) Whether the welding of the steel silo is precise. Since the particles of cement and other stored materials are relatively small, down to the micron level, it is necessary to carefully check whether the joints of the silo are precise, and strictly investigate the root causes of safety hazards such as leakage, air leakage, and material leakage.

(4) The dust collector on the top of the vertical cement storage silo (cement tank) must not only meet the requirements of air delivery of bulk trucks and air delivery of finished products after disassembly, but also ensure that there is no negative pressure in the silo when the powder material is used.

(5) Whether the arch breaking device can work normally. Prevent powder from agglomerating, prevent the bag from being blocked, and cause the steel silo to explode. Because 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 steel silo explosion accidents.

(6) Whether the cement metering system is easy to control and operate, and whether the weighing is accurate.

The type, structure and number of layers of the matching screw conveyor should be reasonably selected according to the conditions of use.


The sheet-assembled cement silos (cement tanks) produced by Steel Silos meet the industry standards. The unloading height is 1.96 meters and 4.2 meters, and can also be processed and manufactured according to user requirements. The cement silos (cement tanks) produced by Detong Steel Silos have capacities of 30t, 50t, 60t, 80t, 100t, 200t, 300t, 500t, etc.
