Gently does it for emptying bulk silo
Gentle conveying is a typical requirement in the industry. The preservation of powder characteristics such as bulk density and particle size is important and requires low-speed dense phase pneumatic conveying systems. High added value powders or granules should not be destroyed during transport and breakdown of the particle size can reduce the plant's performance and generate an explosion risk or change process parameters.
Gericke has developed a mobile conveying unit, which can be coupled between tanker, and silo, which allows the truck to be discharged with minimal attrition of the powder or granules preserving the quality of the raw material. It consists of a mobile unit that combines the pneumatic air manifold and the controller STP 51 to operate the conveying system. When the vehicle arrives, the mobile unit is moved to the lorry and connected with the product outlet of the tanker and the silo pipeline.
