Unique Silo Bottom
The bottom of the CF silo is specially designed to maintain an optimal flow pattern during extraction of the raw meal.
Featuring seven identical, hexagonal extraction points, the silo has a large conical, steel cover at the centre of each hexagonal sector. These steel cones maintain an optimal flow pattern, increasing blending efficiency.
The cones also:
- Relieve the pressure above the outlets
- Ensure extraction from the aerated part of the silo bottom
The CF silo’s unique bottom is designed to maintain an optimal flow pattern during extraction of the raw meal.
Other design highlights
- Silo top with manholes, overpressure and underpressure valves and level indicators
- Raised, above-ground silo bottom with kiln feed or blending tank underneath
- 42 separate subsectors in the silo bottom, all with aeration units
- Shut-off valve with slide gate on each outlet for easy maintenance
Control system
The CF silo’s extraction system is governed by a programmable control unit. This allows you to select the optimum flow rate distribution based on local requirements and conditions. Silo control is maintained either via a locally installed programmable control unit or by a central programmable control unit.
As an additional advantage, the control unit can be configured to include the FLS-LOW (Loss-Of-Weight) system for control of the kiln feed flow rate.
