vertical cement silo

1. Our vertical cement silo is composed of the following parts:

1) Vertical cement silo body which is usually made of carbon steel Q235;

2) Dust collector on the top of cement silo;

3) Safety valve;

4) Inside and outside ladders;

5) Level indicator;

6) Support legs;

7) Load cell on support legs;

8) Penumatic flow promotion device;

9) Manual butterfly valve;

10) Cement feeding pipe.

2. Features of our vertical cement silo:

1) Several measures are taken to make sure the cement silo is water-proof. Such as carbon dioxide welding, glass cement etc.

2) Primer and top coat are used to make sure the cement silo surface is antirust;

3) Safety valve is used to protect the cement silo when it is blocked and the inside pressure increases quickly;

4) Cement silo top dust collector is used to protect the environment;

5) Level indicators or load cell are used to let us know the quantity of cement inside cement silo;

6) Pneumatic flow promotion device is used to facilitates the discharging of cement;

7) Inside and outside ladders are equipped to help workers maintain the cement silo.

8) Our new technology can save much shipping space for clients (4 sets100t cement silo can be put into one 40FT container).

3. Delivery of cement silo:

1) For welding type cement silo, the Max. capacity that can be put into 40HQ container is 50T;

2) For bolted type cement silo, even 2000T cement silo can be put into container;

3) For welding type cement silo, if the capacity is more than 50T, we can use break bulk vessel or flat rack container to deliver it, but the cost is much more expensive than that of the 40HQ. 

4. Details of our cement silo: 

Except from vertical cement silo, we also have horizontal cement silo which is very popular in recent years, because there is  no need to make huge concrete foundation. Client can use it immediately after receiving it.

FAQ:

1. How to choose a proper cement silo?

Answer: 

      We can caculate the cement we need per day first, then we check how many days we can get cement supply. For different grade of concrete, the cement quantity needed is different. For example, Grade C15 concrete needs 290 to 330kg of cement per cubic meters ; Grade C50 concrete needs 460 to 520kg of cement per cubic meters. The average of cement quantity needed is about 350KG for 1 cubic meters of concrete.

      According to your concrete batching plant production capacity, you can easily get how many tons of cement you need per day. If you can get cement supply every 3 days, then you cement silo capacity should be 3 times of the cement consumed per day at least.

2. What's the difference between welding type of cement silo and bolted type of cement silo?

Answer:

      Welding type of cement silo is fully welded in factory as one complete body. It's easy for client to install it on work site but it will take more shipping space. For example 1 set 50T welding type cement silo needs 1 set 40HQ container. Bigger welding type cement silo like 100T needs bulk vessel to deliver it to client. Shipping cost is higher.

      Bolted type cement silo is manufacturered in factory in separate panels and it will be assembled with bolts on work site. It's easy to deliver by container. For example, we can use 1 set 40HQ container to deliver 4 sets of 100t bolted type cement silo. And even 2000t cement silo can be delivered by container. The shipping cost is much lower but installation time is longer.

3. How to deliver cement to cement silo?

Answer:

     There is a 114mm diameter cement feeding pipe on our cement silo. This cement feeding pipe can be connected with bulk cement truck. And the air compressor on bulk cement truck can blow cement into cement silo. 

     If you cement is bag type, you can use our pneumatic cement feeder to deliver cement to cement silo.
