The Importance of Silo Maintenance

This article was originally posted on silosupplier.com The steel silos have been widely used in both industrial and agricultural fields because of its excellent storage performance. Although a well-made steel silo can be used for decades, maintenance during its use is also indispensable. Good maintenance not only ensures that the silo has a the long-term safe use, but also reduces its repair rate. However, poor operating habits and environmental impacts, as well as untimely maintenance, can result in corrosion, damage, failure, or even collapse of the storage silo. Therefore, it is an important task for silo users to do good daily maintenance. For users who lack the knowledge of silo maintenance, here is some instructions. Silo Maintenance Instructions I. Inspection for Silos in Daily Use 1. Hermeticity check. Silo leakage accidents are very common and most of them occur at the joints between steel plates . Therefore, airtight inspection is an essential task in daily life.

Large Steel Silo for Cement Storage

Steel silo structural parameters and cement storage quality 1. Steel Silo Structural Parameters The steel silo is a new concept of the load storage. The optimum height-to-diameter ratio of the steel silo is 1 : 1 or so. Steel silo is a significant invention for storage of bulk cement. It can not only solve the problem of safe storage of cement and fly ash in the off-season, but also has the problem of shortage of supply during peak sales season. It is also a repository for the centralized use of cement and bulk transfer and have a very prominent effect in energy-saving emission reduction and environmental protection . 2. Cement Storage Inside the steel silo, the cement will be stacked continuously along the slope at the time of storage, so that the cement stored at different times can be evenly distributed. In the discharging process, the gasification pipe in the bottom of the silo is alternately inflated in sequence so that the high-density sedimentary cement is vaporized

Collapse of Steel Silos

Sometimes, collapse accident would happen to the steel silos . According to statistics, these steel silos basically belong to building materials enterprises, or fly ash storage and transportation enterprises, that is, concentrated in the steel silos that storage powder materials. Most of the collapsed steel silos are concentrated in the regions with low temperature, but in some areas where the temperature condition is good, the collapse of the steel silo may also occur. At the same time, it is also founded that the steel silo may be deformed and cracked. What's the reason exactly? And how to prevent the steel bin from collapsing? This article will explore the cause and put forward the countermeasure . The cause of the collapse of the steel silo Low temperature environment impact Based on the analysis of the time of the steel bin collapse in recent years, it is true that most of the collapses occur in winter, and in the coldest period of winter in which the temperature cha

The Calculation of Steel Silo Capacity

We usually classify steel silos into different models based on their capacities. When designing a storage plan for a customer, we need to initially determine the diameter,  the height, and the capacity of the steel silo according to the site size as well as how much material the customer wish to store. Whether it is industrial steel silo (such as cement steel silo , fly ash silo , etc.) or steel silo used in food industry (such as grain silo, feed storage silo, etc.), their volume is divided into theoretical capacity and effective capacity. So what is the theoretical capacity and what is the effective capacity? According to experts, the theoretical capacity refers to the total capacity calculated according to the dimensions of each part of the steel silo; and the effective capacity refers to the volume of material that the silo can actually store, usually in ton(s). The effective capacity of a steel silo is relevant both to its shape and the angle of repose of the storage mat
