Spiral Steel Silo - the Best Choice for Storing Lime

Image
Lime Introduction Lime is an air-hardening inorganic gelling material mainly composed of calcium oxide. Lime is made of products with high calcium carbonate content such as limestone, dolomite, chalk, and shells, which are calcined at 900-1100°C. The raw materials of lime are widely distributed, the production process is simple, and the cost is low. It is also an important raw material in the building material industry. And it is suitable for products in instrumentation, medicine, clothing, electronic telecommunications, leather, textile and other industries. Many companies have a large demand for lime in their production process. Therefore, how to store lime safely has become a concern of many manufacturers. Conditions for Storing Lime Quicklime (including lump ash and quicklime powder) has strong water absorption and hygroscopicity. It should be protected from moisture and must be stored in a dry, cool and ventilated environment. It should be stored separately from flammable (combust...

Why choose steel silo to store clinker?

Image
Clinker Introduction Cement clinker is mainly made of limestone and clay. Raw materials are formed in appropriate proportions, burned until part or all of them are melted, cooled and broken into lumps or large granular substances. Clinker is a material used as a cement binder and is a nodular material. Typically, clumps or nodules of clinker range in size from 3 mm to 25 mm in diameter and are dark gray in color. If stored in dry conditions, clinker can be kept for several months without noticeable loss of quality. Because clinker can be easily processed by ordinary beneficiation equipment, there are a large number of clinker transactions in the world. How to store the clinker and ensure its quality has become a concern for clinker producers and buyers. Precautions When Storing Clinker 1.Protect from moisture. During the transportation and storage of clinker, all kinds of protective work should be paid attention to. For transportation in rainy days, it must be covered with rainproof ta...

Why Choose Steel Silo to Store Soybean Meal?

Image
Introduction of Soybean Meal Soybean meal is a by-product of soybeans after soybean oil is extracted. Soybean meal is an excellent source of protein and is widely used in feed and food industries. Soybean meal products have huge economic benefits and nutritional value worldwide, so many soybean processing plant merchants realize the importance of soybean meal storage and seek better ways to store soybean meal. Traditional bagged storage can no longer meet the needs of these merchants for soybean meal storage. At present, bulk storage and silo storage are the main storage methods for soybeans and soybean meal in most countries. Different Ways to Store Soybean Meal Bulk Storage The advantage of bulk flat warehouse is that it is convenient to take out the material, and it is easy to grasp the quality change of soybean meal. The disadvantage is that the indoor visibility is low, the dust content is high, and the operating environment is poor. If the soybean meal is stored for a long time a...

Why choose welded steel silo to store cement?

Image
Introduction to Cement Cement is a powdery hydraulic inorganic gelling material. After adding water and stirring, it becomes a slurry, which can be hardened in air or in water, and can firmly bind sand, stone and other materials together. The concrete made of cemented crushed stone not only has high strength after hardening, but also can resist the erosion of fresh water or salt water. Mortar or concrete made of cement is widely used in civil construction, transportation, water conservancy, electric power, petroleum, chemical engineering and other engineering constructions. It is the basic material for the development of the construction industry, especially steel-concrete buildings, and is called the grain of the construction industry. Many enterprises use a large amount of cement in the production process. Therefore, how to store cement safely and properly has become a concern of many owners. Precautions When Storing Cement Cement is an active substance that easily absorbs moisture a...

Why Use Concrete Silos to Store Coal

Image
Introduction to Coal and Storage Methods Coal is the main energy source for steam power generation, mainly composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus. The sum of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen accounts for more than 95% of organic matter, and is a very important energy source. It is also an important raw material for metallurgy and chemical industry, and can be classified into lignite, bituminous coal, anthracite, and semi-anthracite. In the past, coal was mostly stored in the open air, but the coal stored in this way is easy to deteriorate and lose its high combustion value, and the coal is easy to weather after being dried, and it is blown everywhere with the strong wind to pollute the environment. Therefore, with the continuous improvement of coal enterprises' requirements for automatic production, silo coal storage has been widely developed and used. The main advantages of storing coal in silos are: 1.Good environmental protection perf...
