Agico - Cement Silo
Cement silo, also called cement bin, cement container or cement storage silo, is widely used in cement production plants for storing cement. Flyer steel silos are spiral silos with abundant technical strength and prominent performance, they are built with unique manufacturing method, professional equipment, and mechanized operation. Flyer cement storage silo is famous for its solid structure and durability.Cement silos are on-site storage containers used for the storage and distribution of various types of cement mixtures. Spiral steel silos for storing cement is an indispensable part in cement production industry. This type of cement silo has various capacities and sizes, making them the ideal storage solutions in many cement plants. Flyer Steel Silo is a professional manufacturer that produces high quality spiral cement silos and provides professional services from design, manufacture to install fitting according to the clients` requirements.
Structure of Cement Silo / Flyer Steel Silo
Cement silo is one of the most common kinds of spiral steel silo. It is formed by 3 parts: silo roof(also called silo top), silo body and silo bottom.
Silo roof includes cover board, purline, platform, upper ring, under ring, feeding hole, air hole, safety fence and Skirting board.
Silo body includes silo shell/ steel plate, reinforcing rib and reinforcing rib connecting plate, silo door/manhole, and spiral ladder outside silo
- Long service life: The thickness of spiral seaming edge is five times of the original steel plate, which greatly strengthens the resistance of the loading and extends the service life of silos. The galvanized steel plate with the corrosion resistant feature also ensures the silo’s long lifespan even under bad weather conditions. In addition, the cement silo’s durability may also reduce the maintenance cost.
- Short construction period: Our steel silo seaming machine can shape the silo 3-5m per minute. A cement silo with a capacity of 1000 tons could be constructed in 5-7 days.
- Low investment:Compared to concrete silo, spiral cement silo requires less people, and the construction equipment is more convenient to transport and install. Short installing period and less labor can save large cost.
- Moisture resistance:Our silos are constructed by special bending equipment, bended tightly. Cement inside the silos can`t be influenced by the outside environment elements like wind or rain. And good air-tightness can prevent cement from absorbing moisture from the air.
- Galvanized cement steel silo: The surface of galvanized steel silo is smooth and the cement can’t adhere to inside wall of silo in block.
- Before constructing the cement silo, the bottle base of the silo must be erected by a dedicated crane and be placed on the prefabricated concrete foundation. Check out the perpendicularity of the erected silo and weld the base bottom of the silo with the embedded foundation firmly.
- After the cement silo is constructed, cement can be transported into the cement silo by the pneumatic pressure of bulk cement truck if the transport pipe of cement truck connects with the feeding tube of cement silo.
- During the transporting process, the operator must press on the button of dust vibration motor to shake off the cement attached on the bag of dust catcher. Otherwise the cement may block inside the bag, silo explosion may occur.
- If cement blocks the bag, the pressure inside the silo will exceed the security pressure of the relief valve, and the relief valve will then open up immediately to release pressure inside the silo.
- Cement storage system is usually equipped with a material level measuring system, this system could show us the position of cement inside the silo.
