Steel Silos are widely used for storing various powdered materials such as grain, cement, and fly ash, owing to their significant advantages and market benefits. As a storage tool, steel silos primarily store cement, Fly Ash, slag powder, calcium carbide slag, food, and more.
Many people encounter clumping issues when using cement steel silos. What causes this, and are there effective solutions? Let's find out!
Causes of clumping in cement steel silos:
1.Large temperature differences inside and outside the Cement Steel Silo can lead to condensation. Just like the condensation we see on car windows in the morning, if the temperature difference is significant, the condensation can liquefy and solidify the cement attached to the silo walls, causing clumping.
2.Capillary action can occur when moisture enters from the bottom of the steel silo due to rainwater, causing the cement to clump.
3.If the steel silo experiences heavy rain and water seepage before being put into use, clumping may occur later on.
So, how do we solve this issue?
1.Try to avoid storing cement in the silo only halfway to reduce the height of condensation on the walls.
2.Shorten the storage time of cement in winter and manually ventilate the silo to maintain cement activity.
3.Keep the dust collection equipment on the top of the silo constantly open to increase the discharge of hot air inside the silo.
4.Insulate the surface of the steel silo.
5.Implement basic waterproofing measures.
Facing such situations, it's essential to address them promptly for smooth operations and longevity of the steel silo. Don't let clumping dampen your storage efficiency!
