Why Choose a Steel Silo to Store Fly Ash?

Image
Fly ash is a fine powder that is a byproduct of burning pulverized coal in electric generation  power plants . This residue, known as fly ash, is created when the mineral impurities in the coal fuse together as they come out of the combustion chamber, then cool down and harden. When mixed with lime and water, fly ash forms a compound similar to Portland cement. If the fly ash is collected and stacked in the open air, it will not only occupy a large amount of land, but also pollute the air and the groundwater where it is piled up, causing great harm to the environment, so it is not suitable for open air storage. We need to store  fly ash in steel silos , and then I will share with you the reasons for choosing steel silos to store fly ash! 1.The construction period of the fly ash steel silo is short and the construction cost is low. 2.The fly ash steel silo is convenient to use and easy to maintain in the later stage. 3.The single storage capacity of fly ash steel silo is as hig...

Why Use Steel Silo to Store Grain?

Image
Features of  Steel Silo The steel silo has the characteristics of light weight, low foundation requirements, low cost, short construction period, good airtight moisture resistance, wide range of use, and convenient management; its  supporting system  is relatively complete, and the degree of mechanization and automation is high, which can meet the safety of grain storage and process operation performance, and meet the requirements of the development of grain silo. Because of its deep grain layer and thin silo wall, it is greatly affected by the external environment, but reasonable technology, supporting systems and effective grain storage management measures ensure the safety of steel silo storage grains. At the same time, the  bolted silo  also has the characteristics of detachable relocation, convenient disassembly and replacement of components, expandable capacity (for example, the original silo can be increased in height or diameter, etc.), and it ...

Comprehensive Description of Technology and Performance of Steel Silo

Image
With the development of technology, the current construction trend of storage silos is: the capacity of a single silo is getting larger and larger; the functions are more and more complete.   The capacity of the steel silo gradually increases, i ts structural design, basic form, environmental emissions, natural factors (geology, hydrology, freezing, temperature, etc.), as well as the unloading form of the steel silo, energy consumption indicators, and investment cost per unit volume are all factors considered by the constructor. SRON steel silo  is widely used in the field of material storage and transfer due to its large capacity, high land utilization rate, high degree of automation, short construction period and low investment per unit volume. 1.  Wedge force basic technology:  The wedge force supercharger foundation designed by the wedge force supercharger principle is suitable for engineering construction under different geological conditions of e...

Grain Silo Features and Maintenance Work

Image
 According to the size, the grain silos can be generally divided into: 1. Small-type silo (5-20 tons), mainly used for batching bin,  feed silo , etc.; 2. Medium-sized silo (20-500 tons), mainly used for transfer silos,  oil processing plants , etc.; 3. Large-type silo (500-1500 tons), used to store seeds, grains, flour, etc. according to users’ need; Grain silo features: 1. Simple assembly and short construction period; 2. Light weight, low basic requirements and low cost; 3. According to the user's choice, functions such as temperature measurement, ventilation, and ventilation can be realized; 4. Convenient to realize mechanization and modern management; 5. Simple demolition, convenient maintenance and reliable use; 6. Long service life, generally up to 25 years to 35 years. 7. The cone-type grain silo has a large inclination angle, generally between 35° and 60°, and the grain can be drained...

Safety Precautions for Steel Silo

Image
The birth of   steel silo  has brought about historic changes to the human society. More and more enterprises have given up the original traditional  concrete silo , and choose to use new steel silos to store materials. Compared with the traditional concrete silo, the advantages of the steel silo are more obvious. It not only has a large capacity and a high space, but also adopts an advanced design of loading and unloading materials, and can also be customized according to the actual needs of clients. With the popularization and wide-scale use of steel silos, the safety of steel silos has become more and more important, so today we will take a look at the precautions for the safety of steel silos! Steel silo is like a building, the deeper the foundation, the more stable the whole. For example, in the strong wind or earthquake and other adverse natural factors, the deeper the foundation of the steel storage silo, the more stable the overall. Usually, the lan...

Daily Maintenance and Use Precautions of Flour Silo

Image
The   flour silo  is a common grain storage silo, which is mainly used to store grain and flour, so that the grain and flour can be stored for a long time without being affected by the external environment, so as to ensure the quality of the grain and flour. But the premise is that the overall quality of the grain is qualified. In order to ensure this effect, daily maintenance must be done well. 1. Regularly inspect the silo from top to bottom, starting with the roof vents, the ladders of the stairs. Make sure it's cleaned to prevent rust, slipping and tripping. 2. Any thorough inspection also includes looking for loose, broken or missing bolts, especially on roof stairs, roof ladders and outdoor ladders. Ladders must be inspected for rust on the steps. If this happens, the reliability of the tread is impaired and must be replaced. 3.   Carefully inspect any openings in the side walls. Most silos have access doors of some type in the side walls, but the openings...
