Re: Cement Silo Loading
Dear Dave,
Normally, cement silos are loaded by a pneumatic bulk truck.
Depending on the size of the on board compressor, a 4”or 6”pipe is installed to the silo roof.
Additionally a self-cleaning filter is installed on top of the silo as well as an over- and under pressure safety valve.
In the pipeline, a pneumatic butterfly valve is installed, which closes the pipeline, when the silo is full.
Two level testers are installed to give a warning and to close the butterfly valve when the cement reaches high level.
Then you have to figure out, how to get the cement out of the silo.
