Flaked cement silos (also known as prefabricated cement silos) have become the mainstream storage equipment of choice for concrete
mixing plants, large-scale construction sites, and industrial projects requiring flexible relocation, due to their unique advantages. As a professional cement silo equipment manufacturer, Tongxin Machinery will provide a comprehensive analysis of the structural composition, performance characteristics, detailed installation process, and price factors of flaked cement silos to help you make the most informed purchasing decision.
I. Structure and Operating Principle
The flaked cement silo utilizes an innovative modular design. Its core structure includes:
1. Silo: Constructed from several high-quality steel plates bent into an arc shape using a large press brake and connected with high-strength bolts.
2. Legs: Utilizes welded steel pipes to provide stable support for the entire silo.
3. Ladder and guardrail: Provides access that meets safety standards.
4. Dust removal system: Pulse-type bag dust collector effectively prevents dust contamination.
5. Arch breaking device: Available with air-blowing and vibration arch breaking.
6. Material level meter: Provides real-time monitoring of material levels within the silo.
II. Main Features and Advantages
Compared to monolithic cement silos, the flaked cement silos manufactured by Tongxin Machinery offer the following significant advantages:
- Modular design reduces transportation costs by over 40%.
- Flexible installation and easy relocation make them particularly suitable for rental plants and mobile mixing stations.
- High-strength bolts and high-quality steel plates ensure a stable and durable structure. Customized services are available, and the silo size can be adjusted according to your needs.
