What Are Pros and Cons of The Horizontal Cement Silo
Aug 14, 2023
The horizontal cement silo is also called a mobile cement silo or a foundation-free cement silo. The cement silo is low in height and has a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The wall of the cement silo is welded by the steel plates. The discharge cone of the cement silo is composed of 3 to 6 discharge ports, and each discharge cone port uses a butterfly valve to connect with the screw conveyor.
Horizontal cement silos have 30 tons, 50 tons, 60 tons, 80 tons, 100 tons, 150 tons, 200 tons of cement tanks like ordinary vertical cement tanks. Haomei Machinery can provide double-sided design, which can be designed according to user needs.
The portable cement silo is a kind of product that came into being in response to market demand. Many users who have limited space and need to move frequently choose horizontal cement silos. So what are the advantages of horizontal cement silos?
Advantages
1. The horizontal cement silo is a new type of silo that adapts to the current environmental protection situation. It has a low vertical height and more legs, usually more than 6, which can avoid the trouble of making the foundation.
2. The discharge cone of the horizontal cement silo is a square cone, and the silo body is welded by a frame composed of corrugated boards and profiles. The height of the silo body is 2.9 meters. For vertical cement tanks, even a 50-ton cement silo has a height of nearly 9 meters after installation, while the overall height of horizontal cement tanks is relatively low, which is especially suitable for use in the factory building.
3. It has high strength and good airtightness. Due to the low height, external packaging is avoided, which greatly saves the cost of use.
Disadvantages
1. Because the portable cement silo is a rectangular cement tank, it is easy to cause uneven cement height when the cement is fed into the tank through the feed pipe. Although there are feed pipes on both sides of the horizontal cement silo, the uneven cement height still exists, so there is no way to add monitoring equipment such as material level gauges to the horizontal cement silo.
2. There are many outlets, but the conveying equipment has only one screw conveyor, which may easily cause the screw to be blocked. In actual use, only two of the outlets are usually used.
