What You Should Take Into Consideration Before Constructing a Cement Storage Silo?

 Cement Silo Introduction

Cement steel silo is a facility used to store and protect cement. It is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, waterproof and moisture-proof. Cement silos are usually made of high-strength steel plates. These steel plates can be customized as needed to adapt to different sites and storage needs. They are widely used in cement plants, construction sites, concrete mixing stations and other places for temporary or long-term storage of cement.


 
Before Building a Cement Storage Silo, There are Several Key Factors that Should be Considered:
Capacity Planning: Estimate cement storage capacity based on demand and select appropriate storage silo capacity. Taking into account the possibility of future capacity expansion, ensure that the storage silo has certain storage flexibility.
Structural Design: Design the structure of the storage silo, including the silo body, silo roof and foundation. Taking into account the weight and stability requirements of the cement, ensure that the storage silo has sufficient strength and stability.
‌Foundation Investigation and Preparation‌: Ensure that the foundation can bear the weight and pressure of the cement silo to avoid collapse of the cement silo. This includes producing detailed foundation plans, taking into account factors such as the cement silo's height, weight, leg heights, etc., and ensuring that the design of the foundation plans takes into account natural climate conditions such as high winds, rainfall, and earthquakes.
‌Waterproof and Moisture-proof Measures‌: Cement is very sensitive to moisture, so the design of the cement silo should take into account waterproofing and moisture-proofing. This includes ensuring that the roof and walls of the cement silo are effectively protected from rainwater penetration, and that there is good ventilation inside the silo to reduce moisture‌.
Site Selection: Choose a location suitable for building a cement storage silo, taking into account the stability of the land, drainage conditions, transportation convenience, etc.
Safety Facilities: Ensure that the cement storage silo has necessary safety facilities, such as fire prevention measures and fire-extinguishing equipment.
Environmental Impact Assessment: Consider the impact of building a cement steel silo on the surrounding environment, conduct an environmental impact assessment, and take corresponding environmental protection measures.
Compliance with Laws and Regulations: Ensure that the construction of cement silos complies with local construction codes and laws and regulations, and obtain necessary construction permits and approvals.


 
Requirements Before Cement is Put into Steel Silo:
Temperature and Humidity Control: The storage temperature of cement is usually between 5-30 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is controlled below 60% to avoid moisture absorption, agglomeration and quality degradation of cement. Ventilation systems and humidity control facilities can help maintain suitable storage conditions.
Protection Measures: The cement storage area should have appropriate fire protection facilities, such as firewalls, fire-fighting equipment, etc., as well as dust-proof facilities to avoid the impact of dust on the cement.
Safety Signs and Operating Specifications: The storage area should have clear safety signs, including identification of stored items, safety warning signs, etc., and corresponding operating specifications should be formulated to ensure that operators can store cement safely and standardizedly.

Large-diameter Concrete Silo for Coal Storage

图片
During the coal washing process, in order to facilitate storage and transportation, various types of coal storage silos need to be built, including raw coal silos, clean coal silos, etc. In recent years, the environmental protection pressure on coal preparation plants has increased day by day. In the new development environment, large-diameter coal storage silos can not only significantly increase the capacity of   coal storage silos , but also have the advantages of good structural integrity, long application time, and low maintenance. This plays an important role in promoting the development of coal preparation plants. Concrete Silo Introduction Coal silos are silos used to store coal in industrial buildings such as cement, steel, and electricity. The  concrete silo  is a deep silo with a diameter of up to 25m and a simple silo capacity of 20,000 m3. It adopts a structural form supported by reinforced concrete walls and internal columns. The bottom of this silo is flat, because the s

Steel Silo - Best Way for Paddy Rice Storage

图片
Introduction of Paddy Rice Paddy rice is the most important and oldest food in Oryza genus. It can be ground into white rice for human consumption, and can also be used to make wine, or made into rice flour, rice bran, radish cake and other foods. Paddy rice is the staple food of more than half of the world's population. Therefore, many food processing factories, grain reserves and breweries need to store a large amount of paddy rice for use. However, the storage of paddy rice needs to meet conditions such as dryness, low temperature, and airtightness, otherwise the paddy is easy to mold and deteriorate. How to store paddy rice safely has become a concern of many manufacturers. Precautions for Paddy Rice Storage In order to ensure the quality of paddy rice, the moisture of paddy rice should be controlled before storage, and the impurities in paddy should be removed. Ventilate and cool down in time after storing paddy rice into the silo to prevent condensation and insect damage. Moi
