Horizontal Cement Silos

In concrete mixing plant, cement is an important dry powder material, and its storage method directly affects the quality and performance of concrete. The traditional way of cement storage is to use vertical cement silo, which has the advantage of large storage capacity and is suitable for large or medium-sized concrete mixing plant; its disadvantage is that it occupies a large area, needs to build a concrete foundation, is time-consuming and laborious to install, and is inconvenient to be transported. In order to solve these problems, we have introduced a new type of cement storage method, i.e. the use of horizontal cement silo, which has the advantages of small footprint, no need to build a concrete foundation, simple installation, easy transportation, and is suitable for small or mobile concrete mixing plant.

Horizontal cement silo is a kind of horizontally placed rectangular cement silo, its length is usually between 10 meters and 30 meters, its capacity is usually between 20 tons and 100 tons. Horizontal cement silos are made of steel and are designed to be robust and airtight, preventing moisture from entering the interior and causing the cement to set or harden. Horizontal silos are equipped with both upper and lower entrances, with the upper entrance used for loading cement and the lower exit used for unloading cement. The horizontal cement silo is also equipped with legs on the outside to facilitate the stability and safety of the silo.

The main advantage of the horizontal cement silo is that the cement can be easily transported to different job sites. Cement can be loaded onto trucks or trailers and transported to where it is needed. This makes it a very convenient option for construction projects in remote or hard to reach places. Horizontal cement silos are also easy to install and maintain. They can be assembled quickly and, if properly maintained, can last for years. Additionally, because they are placed horizontally, they take up less vertical space than traditional upright cement silos.

Components and features of horizontal cement silos

The horizontal cement silo is equally well constructed. It is made of strong and durable steel with excellent airtightness that prevents moisture from entering the interior and causing the cement to set or harden. The interior of the silo is equipped with a series of advanced equipments such as dust collector, safety valve, screw converter at the bottom of the silo, vibration motor, etc., which ensure efficient and safe cement storage and discharge.

ZOOMJO's horizontal cement silos also have a series of unique features. The specially designed screw conveyor can effectively prevent clogging and ensure the smooth discharge of cement; the storage space utilization rate of up to 95% makes every ton of cement fully utilized; when the pressure inside the silo is too high, the safety valve can release the pressure in time to protect the silo's safety.
