Recently, a stone powder company in Shanxi, China, contacted us. They reported that after installing bulk loading equipment on their stone powder steel silo, their loading speed had significantly decreased. Sometimes, it took seven to eight hours to load a single truck, which severely limited their production capacity.
Before reaching out to us, this company had tried to communicate with other bulk machine manufacturers. They implemented several measures, such as adding a vibrator to the exterior of the silo cone and installing air supply nozzles and tanks inside. However, these efforts did not yield satisfactory results. Therefore, they requested ダーコ to provide a solution and sent photos and videos of the on-site equipment.
We took their feedback seriously. After carefully analyzing the provided information, we developed a targeted solution. Once we sent our quote, the company quickly signed the contract and made the payment to expedite the order.
After shipping the equipment, Darko arranged for technicians to go to the site for installation guidance. Due to limited space and a shortage of installation personnel, the construction took longer than expected. Our technicians stayed on-site for two days to ensure everything was installed correctly before returning.
About five days after the modifications were completed, the customer called to express their gratitude. They reported that the loading time for a truck of stone powder had now been reduced to around ten minutes, and they were very satisfied with the results.
Key Modifications for the Bulk Steel Silo
1.Installation of Air Supply Boxes:
We installed air supply boxes in suitable positions inside the silo cone, implementing zoned air supply to ensure that the powder material could be evenly fluidized.
2.Change of Air Source:
We replaced the original high-pressure air with a Roots blower. Although high-pressure air provided sufficient pressure, its airflow was too small to effectively fluidize the powder material. Additionally, high-pressure air contained moisture, which could cause the powder to clump and block the air supply layer. In contrast, the Roots blower provided a larger airflow and appropriate pressure, and it contained no moisture, making it ideal for this application.
3.Shortening of Vertical Pipe Length:
We shortened the vertical pipe length between the cone and the lower discharge gate. The original long vertical pipe could easily form dead zones under prolonged material pressure, which affected the normal flow of materials.
This modification not only improved the customer's loading efficiency but also demonstrated our commitment to addressing customer issues and providing solutions. If you face similar challenges or wish to enhance your production efficiency, please feel free to お問い合わせ! We look forward to providing you with professional solutions.
