advantages of sand silo
High-strength anti-corrosion container
The outer anti-corrosion galvanized layer thickness reaches 275g/m², suitable for long-term outdoor environments. The spiral beveling structure has no welds or leaks, with overall high strength and a service life of over 30 years.
Efficient discharge
The bottom adopts a conical discharge structure and a gasification base plate design, ensuring smooth sand material flow, no blockage of the silo, and no leftover materials. Optional equipment includes a screw conveyor, belt conveyor, or air chute system to achieve automatic quantitative discharge.
Automatic control system
AGICO is equipped with ultrasonic level sensors and a PLC control system, enabling automatic detection of sand material height and discharge speed. Users can monitor the storage status of sand through the touch screen or remote terminal, achieving unmanned operation.
Sealed and moisture-proof
The top of the storage bin is equipped with a pulse dust collector. The entire loading and unloading process is sealed, and the dust emission concentration is lower than 30mg/m³. The top rain cover and the bottom sealing flange effectively prevent moisture from entering, keeping the sand material dry.
Solutions for sand storage silo
1. Concrete batching plant
The AGICO Sand Silo can be seamlessly integrated with the concrete batch plant system to achieve automatic feeding and quantitative batching. In the concrete mixing station, sand is one of the core raw materials. The AGICO steel silo can independently store dry or wet sand, preventing clumping and fluctuations in moisture content.
- Equipped with an automatic weighing system, it can be directly connected to the mixing system to achieve continuous feeding.
- The sealed structure prevents rainwater from seeping in, ensuring that the sand material is dry and clean.
- It supports various discharge methods such as screw conveyors and pneumatic conveying systems, improving the overall efficiency of the mixing station.
Sand is equally important in the production of dry-mixed mortar and cement. The AGICO sand bin can be used as either a raw material storage bin or a finished product storage bin.
- With a modular assembly design, it can be quickly installed next to the production line.
- It seamlessly integrates with the dust removal system and the metering system, meeting the requirements for high-yield continuous production.
- The anti-friction structure on the inner wall effectively reduces the friction and wear of the sand material, extending its service life.
3. Glass Manufacturing Industry
In the glass manufacturing process, quartz sand is one of the key raw materials. AGICO steel silos can provide glass factories with precise, enclosed, and safe sand storage and batching systems.
- The silo body adopts a sealed and moisture-proof structure, with a smooth interior and no dead corners, preventing the material from absorbing moisture and forming lumps.
- An automatic drying and ventilation system is equipped to maintain the moisture content of the sand within a controllable range.
- Level sensors ensure continuous feeding and guarantee the consistency of glass quality.
4. Silica Sand Production Line
In large infrastructure projects or construction sites, the AGICO sand silo can be used as a temporary storage station or a long-term reserve warehouse.
- Suitable for the sealed storage and continuous discharge of powdery and granular materials
- The system can integrate dust collection and negative-pressure conveying devices to achieve clean production
- It is commonly used in chemical plants, glass factories, and solar silicon wafer raw material production bases.
5. Transshipment of port sand materials
For the storage and transshipment of sand materials at the port, AGICO steel silos can provide efficient storage and transportation capabilities on limited land.
- The large-scale sand storage steel silos can have a single storage capacity ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 tons.
- They can be used in conjunction with belt corridors, bucket elevators, and bulk loading and unloading machines.
- Achieve rapid loading and unloading, reducing secondary pollution and transportation losses.
