Cement is a building material that has a very common usage area and is used as an indispensable raw material in the construction industry. Cement, which has the ability to bond the materials in the mineral structure to each other, turns into a hard structure when it reacts with water. This product, which is frequently preferred in concrete production, is one of the cornerstones of the construction industry. Storage and preservation of cement, which can easily react with other substances under different conditions, are important issues to be considered.
Cement silo is a type of construction equipment developed for the storage, distribution and storage of cement mixtures in concrete plants until needed. These silos, which are used in many construction sites and construction areas, have various sizes and volumes. The dimensions of the cement silo should be shaped according to the needs of the facility that will produce concrete, as well as a permanent structure or a structure that can be moved if necessary.
The material stored in the cement silo can be transferred to another hopper or to a truck with the help of a blower. The cement silo can be configured according to the needs of the business and thanks to this configuration, efficient use of the work machine can be ensured. There are different compartments within the silos, which are produced from durable stainless steel. These compartments, which are shaped according to needs, can be of different sizes and capacities.
The general purpose of the cement silo is to ensure that the cement does not dry out, in other words, it remains in the structure in which it was first prepared. These materials, which are kept until the delivery time, are located in many construction sites in the construction sector. There are two types of cement silo, permanent and portable. Construction companies prefer portable cement silos so that the silo can move around the site comfortably. Having a simple installation, silos can be installed in a few hours and can be easily dismantled after the project is completed.
These machines, which enable the storage of cements that need continuous use, including all small and large construction projects, are also designed to allow the cement to flow easily through the machine when the concrete is to be prepared. Thanks to the blowers added to the silo, the material in the machine can be easily ejected. There is a filling pipe for filling the inside of the cement silo with material, and a bottom outlet valve to allow the material to go out.
The silos have a vacuum filter, a pressure relief safety valve, and a level indicator showing how much cement is in the silo. The level indicator, which performs its operation depending on computer automation, signals when the amount of material in the silo decreases. This indicator, which is available in all silo types and sizes, has been developed in order to continue the service provided without interruption and has a very useful structure.
Cement silos are equipped with silo top filters and air jets that allow the material to be poured easily from the silo in order to prevent dust escape during filling. The task of air jets is; It is to ensure that the material does not lose its fluidity by giving air to the system during the filling and unloading of the material into the silo.
Di-Çelik With Cement Silos
With Di-Çelik, the production of cement silos, which are life-saving for companies that are constantly in need of cement, in different sizes and volumes when needed, is carried out without any problems. Many domestic and foreign companies use these special construction machines in different fields. These silos, which can be used for many years without wear and tear even in various and harsh weather conditions, have special tools that facilitate the storage and flow of the material from the silo. These products, which have high capacity and ergonomic conditions, are environmentally friendly, and there are devices called air jets at the outlets to allow the material to flow easily.
Based on capacity; Silos, which can be produced as single, double or triple chambers, are among the products developed to preserve the initial state of the material and prevent it from drying out. All cement silos produced by Di-Çelik include an air jet, pressure relief valve, cartridge filter and level indicator. Thanks to the level indicator panel added in order to enable the enterprises to continue their service from where they left off, information about the material remaining in the silo is obtained in specially produced products. In case the cement in the silo decreases, the level indicator panel performs its operation with the technology that can send a warning to the concrete plant system.
Cement silos with a storage capacity of 50 to 3,000 tons can be produced in different sizes and volumes, while the silos manufactured by Di-Çelik are made of stainless steel. In addition to providing services with high capacity, different types of cement silos are also included in production. It can also be used in independent areas such as cement silos, cement factories, cement terminals and limestone dust storage projects, which are not needed only in concrete plants. Work continues to ensure that these products, which are an indispensable part of the construction industry, are produced by our company and offered to users.
Di-Çelik , which works with professionals who are experts in their fields; It is the most experienced Turkish company that frequently produces high-volume cement silos such as 500, 1000, 2000 and 3,000 tons. Cement silos can be designed and manufactured in special diameters and designs according to the usage possibilities of the enterprises and the size of the service, based on the determined common designs. The silos, which are produced up to 100 tons with Di-Çelik , can be manufactured as both welded cement silos and bolted cement silos, according to the company’s demand.
In welding type cement silos, it is the best choice in short-distance transportation situations, while installation is carried out in a minimum time. Since the water permeability level of the source silos, which have a leakproof structure, is zero; It will not be affected by weather conditions such as rain, snow. In the production of cement silos with a capacity of over 100 tons, bolted products are generally preferred and produced.
It is possible to ship the bolted cement silo, which has life-saving features in long-distance transportation situations, to short distances after its installation. With correct waterproofing, screw conveyor, filter and all other hardware tools are available in the bolted silo. The reason why enterprises prefer bolted ones for cement silo production is that it provides space saving in the area during transportation.
