How to choose cement silo for concrete batching plant

Function of a batching plant silo
Cement tanks for concrete mixing plants is a kind of cone-shaped material storage tank, suitable for storing various materials such as grain, cement, fly ash, etc. The tank is equipped with a positioning system that can display the position and weight of the material. Bulk cement conveyors are generally used to feed powder or grain into tanks. Generally speaking, the choice of cement tanks should be determined according to the actual amount of materials required. Generally speaking, there are two ways to discharge the cement tank: one is to link the lower part with the screw conveyor, and the powder is fed into the powder measuring container by the screw conveyor;
The cement tank can replace the civil material tank, which is waterproof, moisture-proof, preventing cement loss and environmental pollution. Smaller area than civil construction tanks, long service life and low cost. The tank top is easy to remove dust. The tank body is made of steel plate with grooved hoop, and the legs are assembled by GB pipe.

Based on this, manufacturers usually understand the needs of users in the future and will provide a suitable selection and matching. It is very good to ensure the user’s production, but the user can also make appropriate adjustments based on his own production needs.
