Metal silos equipment

Metal silos are equipped with modern accessories:

• suction filter SILOTOP® (WAM, Italy) to achieve the filtering and output of air, that flows into the silo during the flow of product through the pneumatic conveying system;
• VCP pressure relief valves (WAM, Italy) to regulate and maintain optimal air pressure inside the silo;
• ILT level sensor (WAM, Italy) is used to signal the presence of the product in the silo;
• strain gauge MK 2 «TENZO-M» to obtain the primary signal showing the amount of product in the silo;
• receiving device for connection of transportation system with receiving devices for loading silos with the product;
• vibration bottom VA of company WAM (Italy) to ensure the quality of discharging bulk products from silos.

 

Standard equipment of metal silo includes:

• the body of silo;

In addition to these elements, metal silos can be equipped with a flour receiving device for flour truck, which optimizes the process of loading flour truck into the hopper. The receiving device consists of unloading and loading hoses, connection pipes and brackets, on which the sleeve is laid after work.

One of the most significant projects was the manufacture and installation of 8 metal silos for the external storage of flour in the framework of the project of complex equipment of LLC «First bakery» in city Grozny. The total storage capacity of flour is 432 m3.
