PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Henan Shengmao Machinery Co., Ltd. manufactures heavy-duty Bagged Cement Feeding & Bag-to-Silo Conveying Systems (SM-BCFS Series) engineered specifically for ready-mix concrete batching plants, precast yards, and dry mortar production facilities facing bulk cement logistics constraints.
By integrating automated belt feeding, heavy-duty rotary bag slitting, clean packaging separation, and high-pressure dense-phase pneumatic transmission, Shengmao's systems deliver bulk tanker-equivalent charging performance, cut labor costs by over 70%, and ensure 100% dust-free environmental compliance.
Shengmao offers three standardized system architectures tailored to different bag types, site footprints, and plant configurations:
1. Fully Automatic Bag-to-Silo Pneumatic System (For 50 kg Sacks only)
Workflow: Sacks are loaded onto an incline belt conveyor and fed continuously into an enclosed rotary bag breaker. High-speed multi-tooth knives slit the bags, a revolving trommel screen discharges clean empty bags, and cement powder drops into a high-pressure pneumatic transmitter tank to be blown through a ∅100 mm steel delivery pipe into vertical or horizontal storage silos at 1.2 t/min.
Best For: Medium-to-large commercial concrete batching plants requiring continuous, dust-free silo replenishment.
2. Universal Jumbo Bag Pneumatic Line (For less than 2 Ton FIBC Big Bags)
Workflow: Equipped with an integrated 3-Ton overhead electric hoist crane and crossbeam frame. Big bags are hoisted over the receiving hopper where internal pyramidal puncture blades pierce the bag bottom. Cement empties cleanly into the pneumatic blower tank for immediate silo injection.
Best For: Island infrastructure projects and mining sites receiving imported cement in 1-ton or 2-ton containerized jumbo bags.
3. Direct-to-Mixer Screw Conveyor System (Silo-Free Type)
Workflow: Sacks are tipped over a safe hopper grid fitted with internal cutting knives. An inclined, high-torque screw conveyor (∅219−∅273 mm) delivers cement powder directly into the concrete mixer's weighing hopper.
Best For: Small mobile concrete batching plants, temporary bridge sites, and low-budget starter installations.

CORE PARAMETERS
Bag-to-silo pneumatic transfer system (with cement silo) cement delivery capacity: 1.2t/h
Direct-to-mixer feeding system (without cement silo) cement delivery capacity: up to the screw conveyor we choose
Weight of bagged cement that can be processed: 25kg to 2000kg.
CORE SELLING POINT
High-Speed Pneumatic Silo Transfer (1.2 t/min / 72 t/h)
Matches Bulk Tanker Discharge Speeds: Equipped with a high-pressure pneumatic cement blower tank that fluidizes cement powder and shoots it through a ∅100mm delivery pipeline into silos up to 30 meters high. Rapid Silo Replenishment: Fills a standard 50-ton cement silo in under 45 minutes, eliminating material supply bottlenecks for high-volume concrete batching plants.
Dual Flexible System Configurations (With or Without Silo)
Bag-to-Silo Pneumatic System (With Silo): Automatically splits bags, separates empty packaging, and pneumatically transfers cement into vertical or horizontal storage silos. Direct-to-Mixer Screw System (Without Silo): Uses an inclined screw conveyor to feed split cement directly from the hopper into the concrete mixer's weigh batcher. Ideal for mobile or temporary jobsites with limited space and budget.
Universal Bag Compatibility (25kg Sacks to 2-Ton Jumbo Bags)
Small Sacks (25 kg/50 kg): High-speed incline belt conveyor and continuous rotary drum slitter for rapid multi-bag processing. Heavy Jumbo Bags (1 to 2 Tons / FIBC): Integrated 2-Ton overhead electric hoist crane and pyramidal puncture blades easily lift, position, and discharge big bags without manual intervention.
70%+ Labor Savings & 100% Dust-Free Working Environment
Dramatic Labor Reduction: Replaces back-breaking manual bag slitting and wheelbarrow hauling; 1 to 2 workers can easily manage high-volume daily cement feeding. Sealed Negative-Pressure Dust Containment: Enclosed slitting chamber and optional pulse-jet dust collector eliminate airborne cement plumes, protecting worker respiratory health and ensuring strict environmental compliance. Zero Material Waste: Rotary trommel screens ensure every gram of cement powder is thoroughly shaken out of empty bags before discarding.
Solves Island, Landlocked & Remote Logistics Bottlenecks
Enables Modern Concrete Production Anywhere: Essential equipment for island resorts, landlocked mining camps, mountain infrastructure, and developing markets where bulk cement delivery infrastructure is nonexistent. Proven Global Deployment: Field-tested and successfully operating in demanding international environments, including full-scale batching plant feeding lines in Somaliland and pneumatic cement systems in the Philippines.
RECOMMENDED USAGE SCENARIOS
01 Island Resorts, Coastal Ports & Maritime Projects
The Problem: Remote islands and coastal infrastructure sites have no local cement factories or bulk road tankers; all cement arrives by cargo ship or container in 50kg bags or 1–2 ton FIBC jumbo bags.
Why Shengmao Excels:
Features high-capacity pneumatic cement feeders (1.2 t/min) and 2-ton overhead hoists that rapidly convert containerized bagged cement into pressurized bulk flow for batching plant silos.
02 Ready-Mix Concrete Batching Plants (RMC Plants)
The Problem: Commercial batching plants require uninterrupted cement supply to satisfy daily concrete production schedules.
Why Shengmao Excels:
The Fully Automatic Bag-to-Silo Line (Incline Belt Conveyor + Rotary Bag Breaker + Pneumatic Transmitter) shoots cement powder directly into vertical storage silos up to 30 meters high, filling a 50-ton silo in under 45 minutes and ensuring 24/7 continuous plant operation.
Real-world proven installation on commercial batching plants in Somaliland.
03 Dry Mortar, Tile Adhesive & Plaster Production Lines

Shengmao provides two primary configurations tailored to site layouts and budgets:
With-Silo Type (Bag-to-Silo Pneumatic Transfer System): Cement bags are automatically slit open and pneumatically blown directly into storage silos at high speed (1.2 t/min).
Without-Silo Type (Direct-to-Mixer Screw Feeding System): Cement bags are emptied into a ground hopper with cutting knives, and an inclined screw conveyor delivers the cement directly up to the mixer's weighing hopper.
Q3:When should I choose the Pneumatic Cement Feeder (With-Silo System)?
A3:
You should choose the pneumatic cement feeder system whenever you need to store cement in vertical or horizontal cement silos. The high-pressure pneumatic transmitter fluidizes the cement and blows it into silos up to 30 meters high, filling a 50-ton silo in under 45 minutes.
Q4:What is the delivery speed of Shengmao’s pneumatic cement feeder?
A4:
Shengmao’s heavy-duty pneumatic cement feeder delivers an impressive transfer rate of 1.2 tons per minute (approx 70−72 tons/hour), easily matching the unloading speed of standard commercial road bulk tankers.
Q5:What bag weights and packaging types can the system process?
A5:
The system is engineered to handle all international standard packaging formats:
Small Standard Sacks:25 kg and 50 kg paper or woven polypropylene bags.
