Cement Silo
mobile cement silo
A Mobile Cement Silo (commonly designed as a horizontal low-profile silo or trailer-mounted containerized silo) is a portable, enclosed steel storage unit engineered for the temporary storage, pneumatic charging, and continuous dosing of bulk powder materials—such as Portland cement, fly ash, bentonite, and lime.
Capacity available: 30t to 300t

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Henan Shengmao Machinery Co., Ltd. (Shengmao Machinery) is a specialized heavy-duty manufacturer of concrete mixing, storage, and material handling equipment. Shengmao’s Mobile & Horizontal Cement Silo Series (ranging from 30T to 300T) represents advanced modular engineering designed to eliminate civil foundation costs, minimize transit restrictions, and provide dependable plug-and-play material storage for international contractors.
Core Characteristics & Working Principle:
100% Foundation-Free & Rapid Deployment: Unlike traditional vertical silos (18–25 m tall) that require deep concrete foundations and crane-assisted assembly, mobile silos feature an integrated self-supporting chassis that sits directly on flat, compacted ground. They can be installed, wired, and fully commissioned within 2–4 hours.
Low-Profile & Compact Design: Typically standing at a low height (≤4.5 m), mobile silos eliminate high-altitude inspection risks and easily comply with indoor factory clearances, tunnel entrances, and municipal height restrictions.
Integrated Feeding & Discharging Mechanism: Equipped with top dust filtration, overpressure relief valves, pneumatic fluidizing air pads, and built-in horizontal bottom screw conveyors to prevent powder bridging and ensure steady, automated powder delivery into concrete batching plants or mixer trucks.
Key Applications: Ideal for mobile concrete batching plants, road & bridge construction, expressway paving, tunneling & underground mining, precast workshops, and fast-track civil engineering projects.
There are two types of mobile horizontal cement silo:
1) The first type is equipped with air brake, shock absorder and tail light etc. It can work with a tractor unit to mobile on road. For this type, the max. capacity that can be put into a 40HQ container is 50T.
2) The second type is only equipped with axle and wheels. It is not suitable for move on road for long distance. The max. capacity that can be put into container is 150t.

FAQ
Q1:Does a Shengmao mobile horizontal cement silo require a concrete foundation?
A1:
A: No, it is 100% foundation-free. Thanks to its integrated heavy-duty steel box-frame base, it can be placed directly on dry, compacted flat ground or steel plates, connected to power, and commissioned within 2 to 4 hours, saving 3,000–8,000USD+ in foundation pouring and demolition costs.
Q2:What is the overall height, and what are its advantages?
A2:
A: The overall height is only approx. 4.0 m – 4.5 m (compared to 18 m – 25 m for vertical silos). This allows it to fit inside low-bay precast warehouses and tunnels, comply with strict municipal and airport height limits, and allow ground-accessible maintenance without high-altitude climbing hazards.
Q3:What capacities are available, and how does it prevent material clogging?
A3:
A: Shengmao offers capacities from 30 Tons to 300 Tons (standard: 30T, 35T, 50T, 55T, 60T, 100T, 150T, 200T, 300T). It achieves ≥95% effective volume utilization through multi-angle internal V-slopes, dual external electric vibrators, pneumatic fluidizing aeration pads, and a built-in horizontal arch-breaker screw conveyor that eliminates dead powder zones.
Q4:What turnkey accessories are included as standard?
A4:
A: Each unit is factory-integrated with:
Q235 structural steel containerized silo body with anti-corrosion coating.
Top-mounted electric pulse cartridge dust filter (≤10−20 mg/Nm3).
Dual-action pressure relief safety valve.
Internal arch-breaker screw conveyor (∅168−∅273 mm).
Dual external electric vibrating motors.
Pneumatic aeration fluidization nozzles and piping.
High & low electronic rotary level indicators.
Onboard silent air compressor.
IP55 pre-wired central electrical control cabinet.
∅114 mm steel feeding pipe with quick camlock tanker coupling.
Weihing sensor is optional. If needed, we will install them on the silo.
Q5:How is the silo shipped internationally, and how is it relocated between sites?
A5:
A: Ocean Freight: Built to ISO container dimensions (20ft / 40ft HQ), units up to 150 Tons ship directly inside standard ocean shipping containers, eliminating expensive breakbulk/flat-rack surcharges.
On-Site Relocation: Optional hydraulic/telescopic lifting legs allow the silo to raise itself so a flatbed truck can back underneath for crane-free transport. Wheeled trailer chassis versions are also available for direct on-road towing.
Q6:What bulk materials can be stored in Shengmao mobile silos?
A6:
A: It is suitable for dry bulk powders including Portland cement, fly ash, bentonite, slag powder, micro-silica, hydrated lime, and pre-mixed dry mortar.
