The function of the silo:
Protect the mixing machine
The key to the production line of a concrete mixing plant is the mixing host, which is the forced mixer. The key to the forced mixer is the mixing shaft. In order to protect the mixing shaft, our mixing plant usually uses secondary mixing technology, allowing the aggregate to wait in the silo. After the powder is mixed with water, the aggregate is then added. Because the interior of a concrete mixer consists of two mixing shafts, on which there are mixing arms and blades, if the aggregate directly enters the mixer, the impact force on the mixing blades and arms will be significant, accelerating the non working wear of the mixing blades and reducing the service life of the concrete mixer.
Improve production efficiency
The main reason for setting up intermediate silos in the production line of concrete mixing plants is that the efficiency of aggregate batching is sometimes higher than that of powder and water batching. Therefore, a transition silo is used to wait for the batching of powder and water. Commonly found in large mixing plants. If a small mixing plant uses a hopper elevator, there is actually no intermediate material bin, and the aggregate can wait in the lifting hopper. At the same time, due to the heavy weight of the aggregate, it will sink to the bottom. If the aggregate is added first at this time, it is not conducive to mixing the concrete evenly. It will prolong the mixing cycle and slow down the mixing efficiency. At this time, adding powder and water first is actually beneficial for mixing with aggregates, ultimately improving the mixing efficiency.
