Cement Silo — Bolted & Welded, 30-2500 Ton

The General Machinery cement silo is a vertical/horizontal steel store that keeps cement for a concrete batching plant and feeds the weigh hopper. 30-100 ton standard, 50-2500 ton custom; bolted (export) or welded. Top filter, safety valve, level indicators and fluidizing jets included. ISO 9001 + CE. A cement silo is a vertical or horizontal steel store that keeps cement isolated from the environment at a concrete batching plant and feeds it to the weigh hopper in a controlled way. General Machinery silos are built as a bolted body (knocked-down for easy transport and installation) or a welded body; plate thickness is stepped at 8-6-5 mm. The standard range is 30-100 ton, and custom manufacturing reaches up to 50-2500 ton. Every unit is ISO 9001 and CE certified. How it works Bolted or welded? Applications Used for ready-mix concrete plants, precast plants, mechanical (plent-mix) plant cement storage, and bulk cement logistics. High-capacity silos of 100 ton and above suit mega projects and stationary plants; small silos are ideal for mobile plants. One supplier, complete solution General Machinery supplies the batching plant, the cement silo and the crushing-screening line from one supplier, with custom manufacturing up to 2500 ton and a bolted option for export. Global crusher giants such as Metso, Sandvik or Kleemann do not offer this integration from a single source. S: Should I choose a bolted or a welded cement silo? C: For overseas or long-distance export choose a bolted silo: it ships knocked-down in a container, travels economically and is assembled on site. For near and domestic projects a welded silo is preferred; the whole body arrives ready and is craned into place. S: What is the capacity range of the cement silo? C: The standard range is 30, 60, 80 and 100 ton. Custom manufacturing covers 50 to 2500 ton — high capacity for mega projects and small silos for mobile plants. S: What equipment is included as standard? C: A top filter (1), a silo safety valve (1), a min/max level indicator (2) and cement fluidizing jets (3) are included as standard. S: What is the silo plate thickness? C: The silo body is built with stepped plate thickness of 8-6-5 mm. The silo is horizontal-vertical type, available as a bolted or welded body. S: How does the silo feed the plant? C: Fluidizing jets at the silo bottom keep the cement from caking; a screw (auger) conveyor then carries the cement from the silo base to the weigh hopper on top of the mixer for controlled feeding.
