Key Benefits

  • Simple layout
  • Low-cost installation
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Highly reliable extraction
  • Controlled flow

How it works

As the “no frills” version of the CF raw meal blending and storage silo, the CFS storage silo offers reliable extraction at an economical price.

The Controlled Flow silo is designed with one centrally positioned outlet covered by a steel cone. Ensuring that the silo empties 99% while keeping the specific power consumption for aeration at a minimum is a challenge that the CFS meets by:

  • Aerating the silo bottom sector by sector to minimise specific power consumption – only1/6 of the silo bottom area is aerated at the same time
  • Covering the outlet with a steel cone to keep a large part of the silo contents in motion during extraction
  • Filling the corner between the silo bottom and silo wall with coarse concrete to form an incline of 70° to horizontal, preventing build-up of material close to the silo wall
  • Sloping the aeration segments 15° towards the outlet to ensure optimal flow.

The CFS comes in diameters ranging from 10-20 m, all based on the same configuration. 

Options

Aeration filters
The aeration system may be provided with optional filters that prevent material from entering and possibly blocking up the entire aeration system if a pipe breaks inside the silo.

FLSmidth CFS Silo 

The Basics

Two versions of these movable bulk loaders for trucks or wagons make filling easy and fast, with low specific power consumption. 

 
Key benefits

  • Low specific power consumption
  • Minimum wear
  • Maximum flexibility
  • Compact size
  • Minimises dust conveyance
  • Eliminates waste
  • Simplifies dedusting

How it works


The Fluxo filling device MBL/MBLT is a movable bulk loader specially designed for loading aerable materials such as cement, fly ash, raw meal and filter dust from silos into road tankers or tank wagons. It consists of standard components built into a compact unit.

Ensuring minimum wear and maximum flexibility while keeping the specific power consumption for aeration at a minimum is a challenge that the Fluxo filling device meets by:

  • Using Fluxoslides and an integrated filter that minimises dust conveyance and eliminates waste
  • Integrating a Jet Pulse filter to simplify dedusting and dedust other equipment
  • Loading mixed cement without causing waste

 


Models

The Fluxo filling device comes in two models:

  1. MBL (Mobile Bulk loader with Longitudinal travel): For longitudinal travel only, which means positioning of the tank is important. Normally used when loading train wagons.
  2. MBLT (Mobile Bulk loader with Longitudinal and Transverse travel facilities): Facilitates truck loading.

Options

Two sizes integrated Jet Pulse Filters

Both Fluxo filling device types MBL and MBLT are available with two sizes of integrated Jet Pulse Filters. The MBL-16/MBLT-16 is supplied where only little dedusting capacity is needed.

If, however, the Fluxo filling device is placed under a CFS silo, an MBL-24/MBLT-24 is capable of dedusting the silo, conveying equipment, Fluxo filling device and road tanker or tank wagon.
