Storage Silo
Powder Storage Silo, referred to as a storage silo, is a storage equipment designed for powdered and granular materials. Through structural innovation and functional integration, it ensures storage safety, stability, and environmental adaptability, achieving full-process control from feeding to discharging.
The storage silo is a closed container, where the top inlet receives materials (powders, granules, etc.) from upstream processes. During storage, wall vibrators or anti‑bridging devices are used to prevent caking and arching. The bottom outlet is equipped with a gate or conveyor to control the discharge rate as needed, ensuring a steady flow of material to downstream equipment and thus achieving buffer storage and continuous supply.
-
Extensive Storage CapacityThe equipment supports parallel multi-silo configurations to meet demands from small-batch experimentation to large-scale continuous production. -
Compatible with Various Operating ConditionsAdapts to gravity discharge, positive/negative pressure pneumatic conveying. -
Multi-dimensional MonitoringIntegrates level, weight, pressure, and temperature sensors, as well as the PLC system for real-time alarm. -
Automated ControlIt supports both local and remote operation. The control terminal integrates data logging, fault diagnosis, and USB export functions, thereby reducing the frequency of manual inspections and lowering the rate of failure-induced downtime. -
Safe DesignIt can be equipped with dust collectors to suppress dust emission and supports explosion-proof components. Optional accessories such as maintenance platforms and anti-slip ladders can be provided to ensure operational safety.
