The purpose of the silo in our concrete mixing plant is crucial for optimizing the mixing process:
Safeguard the integrity and functionality of the mixing machine
At the heart of our concrete mixing plant's production line lies the indispensable forced mixer, which is anchored by the robust mixing shaft. To ensure the longevity and efficiency of this essential component, we employ advanced secondary mixing technology. Here, aggregates patiently reside in the silo until the powder is adeptly merged with water, at which point the aggregates are introduced. The dual-shaft design within the mixer, replete with mixing arms and blades, can otherwise suffer from substantial impact if aggregates are immediately incorporated. This can result in accelerated wear and tear on the blades, significantly reducing the operational lifespan of the mixer. Our meticulous approach ensures minimized non-working wear, thus preserving the durability and service life of the concrete mixer.
Boost overall production efficiency and effectiveness
Intermediate silos are an integral component of large-scale concrete mixing plants, primarily due to the fact that the pace of aggregate batching often surpasses that of powder and water batching. These silos serve as transition points, harmonizing the batching process by holding aggregates until powder and water are ready, thereby ensuring a seamless blend. While smaller plants may utilize a hopper elevator lacking intermediate bins, they allow aggregates to wait directly in the hopper. Given the density of aggregates, they naturally settle at the bottom. Introducing aggregates first can hinder the evenness of the concrete mix and extend the mixing time. By adding powder and water initially, we facilitate superior mixing, ultimately accelerating the process and enhancing the efficiency of the overall mixing cycle.
