I am looking for a mechanical device to feed out material from silos with

size 100m3 to 1000 m3.

The material is spent calciumhydroxide used in house hold waste

incineration fluegas cleaning and fly ash from the incineration.

Typical composition

% b w

-15 % b w CaSO3*0, 5H2O



4-5 % b w CaSO4*2H2O



-35 % b w CaCO3



-25 % b w CaCL2



-50 % b w Fly ash

Each component can be in any walue up to indicated maximum

Fluidizing equipment is not possible due to air moisture will liquidise the

CaCL2 .

The capacity is set to 80 m3/h.

The particle size is 0,005-- 0,01 mm , can form agglormerate depending of

chemical composition.

Bulk dencity 500-700 kg/m3 , compressed , maximum 1300 kg/m3

I would be most grateful for any answer preferably with reference list of

similar aplication.

DEAR MR. JOHANSSON,

DISCHARGE OF SILO FOR VERY FINE POWDERS MUST FULFILL A NUMBER OF REQUIREMENTS.

1.THE DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT MAST BE A LIFE BOTTOM WHICH DISCHARGE UNIFORMLY OVER THE OUTLET ARIA.

2.DISCHARGE EQUIPMENT HAS TO BE OVERSIZE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE IDEAL FLOW OR MASS FLOW.

3.DISCHARGE DEVICE HAS TO REDUCE THE FLOW TO REQUIRED VALUE.

SUCH DISCHARGE DEVICE WHICH FULFILL ALL REQUIREMENTS IS “SILETTA”.

PLEASE OPEN OUR WEBSITE WWW.IPT-ONLINE.COM AND YOU WILL SEE THAT SILETTA IS AVAILABLE FROM A DIAMETER OF 10 CM UP TO 4.5 METER.

LOOK ALSO TO THE EXAMPLES FOR SOME APPLICATIONS. PLEASE SEND US DETAILED DATA FOR NEEDED SILO – USE THE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR SILOS AND WE COULD THAN MAKE YOU A PROPOSAL.

BEST REGARDS
