In traditional transportation, conveyor belts are used. The disadvantage of this method is that the conveying track is not flexible, especially in the process of grain storage, there are still many disadvantages of conveyor belt transportation. With the unbridled development of science and technology, pneumatic conveying has gradually replaced conveyor belts and become the main way of grain transportation. Today we will introduce to you the five reasons why cone bottom steel silos use pneumatic conveying.
1. It is suitable for centralized transportation from several places to one place. There can be one or several feeding points, and the material pipe can be equipped with one or several branch pipes. Not only can the materials from several feeding points be transported to the unloading point in sequence, but also the materials from several feeding points can be transported to the unloading point at the same time.
2. Under the action of negative pressure, the material is easily inhaled, so the feeding at the throat is simple. The hopper can be opened, and it can continuously feed and convey.
3. When the material is transported under negative pressure, the moisture is easy to evaporate. Therefore, it is easier to transport materials with higher moisture than the pressure feeding type; for materials supplied in a heated state, it can be cooled by conveying.
4. The components should be kept sealed. The structures of the surface separator, dust collector, air lock and other components are relatively complex.
5. The fan is located at the end of the system, requiring a high degree of air purification.
The above are the five reasons why the cone bottom steel silo adopts pneumatic conveying. I hope the above description can be of some help to you when you use the cone bottom steel silo in the future.
