IDEAL FLOW SILOS

Eliminate Bridging and Rat-holing

The Ideal Flow Silo is designed where the entire bottom end of the silo is kept live (live bin bottom). The SILETTA® DISCHARGER is positioned at the bottom of the silo, to activate simultaneously the whole cross section of the outlet - in this case equal or near to the diameter of the Silo. For this purpose, depending on the size of the Silo either a standard SILETTA® DISCHARGER , or for larger Silos, SILETTA® DISCHARGER -USI .

There is no need for high shear and high powered mechanical dischargers, bin activators, feeders and system shut off valves (however, for servicing any downstream equipment, maintenance gates are recommended).

The drawing as shown here indicates the application for the SILETTA® DISCHARGER -USI , and below it a proportioning unit by which the SILETTA® is applied.

By incorporating the SILETTA® DISCHARGER:-

1. The whole silo content moves like a piston in a cylinder - Uniform velocity over the whole cross section of the silo.

OR,

1. By incorporating a purpose built SILETTA® CONTROL DISCHARGER, different velocities across the silo cross section can be achieved, also with Controlled Eccentric Flow Pattern - if required.

The ideal Flow Silo can be used for the following purposes:-

• AVOIDING AGGLOMERATION and DEGRADATION
• REMIXING OF SEGREGATED POWDERS
• MIXING HORIZONTAL LAYERS
• STORAGE OF DIFFERENT POWDERS
• AVOIDING BRIDGING and AVOIDING FUNNEL FLOW
• AVOIDING CAKING ON SILO WALLS

MASS FLOW SILOS

Typical Applications:

• Cohesive Powders
• Avoiding Segregation

  Shear Test Analysis is required.

There is no need for high shear and high powered mechanical dischargers, bin activators, feeders and system shut off valves (however, for servicing any downstream equipment, maintenance gates are recommended).
