*Widely used in the storage of cement industry*

First, the cement silo is consists of:

Cement silo body (cement tank) by the following components: steel silo body parts, ladders, rails, feeding tube, filter, pressure relief valve, high and low level gauge, discharge valves, etc.

Second, the cement silo (cement tank) structure:

Cement silo is a cylindrical structure, the bottom of the tube by four legs to support the entire silo body, the whole silo full of steel forms, welded; silo roof with filter and pressure relief valve.

Third, the cement silo (cement tank) works principle:

1, when the cement silo (cement tank) work must be performed by a dedicated crane to erect, and then put the pre prefabricated concrete foundation, and check the cement silo (cement tank) erected after the vertical and the horizontal degree and then at the bottom of the base is firmly embedded welding.

2, storage silos fixed later by the bulk cement truck transporting cement to the site, and then bulk cement truck transport pipe and cement silo (cement tank) feed piped through bulk cement truck's gas pressure will transported to the cement silo tank cement (cement tank) inside.

3, in the process of transporting cement to the storage silo, the operator must press the dust vibration motor uninterrupted button, shake off the dust bag attached to the cement, preventing blocked bags, silo explosion occurred.

4, once blocked the bag, the pressure within the compartment pressure exceeds the silo roof safety pressure relief valve, the pressure relief valve to open positions within the release pressure and prevent silo explosion accident.

5, by the level of material position can be observed in full and lack of material silo.

6, when the need to discharge, first open the manual discharge valve at the bottom of the cone, and then through the cement delivery device will cement transport out. In the discharge process, if there is "bagging" phenomenon, press the button on the timely broken arch device solenoid valves were blowing, eliminating the "bagging" in feeding, to ensure smooth supply of cement.

7, when the cement delivery device fails, first turn off the manual discharge valve at the bottom of the cone to prevent cement spills, resulting in waste. 

*The spiral steel silo characteristics lie in：*

1 Good overall performance , long service life: spiral seaming edge five times the parent metal thickness, which greatly strengthens the silos` body resistance to load capacity;its stability and strength service life are better than that of other steel silos.

2 Good air-tightness,extensive usage: this seaming by special equipment bending forming , sealing performance is especially good; can be used in granular, powder, grain storage ; avoid external humidity influence in inside materials, and at the same time can satisfy the insecticidal, fumigation etc process requirement, and can also be used to store liquid objects.

3 Short construction period, low cost: the silo body weight is equivalent to 1/6 of concrete silo with same volume , which greatly
reduce the basic cost; at the same time extremely short construction period (1000 tons of silo, need only about five days time)

4 Small floor space, easy management:the spiral steel silo is better than that of other silos also lies in its height and diameter,which can be in great range choice and adaptation,e.g. granary spacing can be small to 50 cm.

*Technical advantages of spiral steel silo:*

Our company adopts advanced west Germany silo construction technology,and building method is unique.While constructing, first feed 495 mm wide coil sheet by decoiling machine into bending machine bending, seaming, and then through the forming machine rolling into needed geometric shape, around the silo lateral forming a 30-40 mm wide, encircling spiral protruding strip on the structure playing the role of strengthening silo. For two different kinds of materials, silo construction equipment also can realize double bending processing.

The silo is site operation, silo top is ground installation, and no need of scaffolding and other auxiliary facilities. Silo construction
equipment work at the speed of 3-5 m/min of forming and bending,so the construction period is very short. Silo construction equipment only need a truck can be delivered to site,so the transport costs is quite low.

Silo is made of thin plate, with only the equivalent of the capacity of cement bin rebar weight, so the construction cost is rather low.
