Components for ensuring accurate loading and unloading of silo

• Storch coupling: Cover for closing/opening of injection pipe
• Pinch valve: Mount on injection pipe to regulate injection of material from car to silo. Ideal loading of silo takes place at low pressure in the beginning, then raised pressure and finally low pressure at the end
• Control panel for injection of material from truck to silo
• Pressure switch: Connect to control unit to monitor pressure in silo
• Filter units: Air displacement during loading of silo
• Explosion vent: Placed on filter unit or on side of silo
• Excess-pressure valve: Manual membrane valve, deflates in case of over compression
• Explosion relief: Safety device for avoiding powder explosion. Designed to burst at defined pressure level to avoid deformation of silo in case of explosion
• High/low level indicator: Connect to control unit to monitor powder level and notifies when next filling must be activated
• Load cell: Device for indicating powder content in silo
• Load cell mounting: Mounting of load cells on legs or on 100% support weighing frame
• Silo 100% support weighing frame: Weighing frame with adjustable number of load cells for silo without legs
• Shut-off gate: Convenient for servicing equipment beneath vibrating silo bottom. Closes off material flow and eliminates emptying of silo
• Vibrator: Device for facilitating unloading of silo
• Bin activator: Device for facilitating unloading of silo
• Fluidization nozzle: Device for facilitating unloading of silo
• Manhole: For inspection inside silo (cleaning, service etc.)
• Ladderway, landing and handrail: Access to silo top and manhole. Made according to applicable safety regulations/WEA directions.

Weighing modules for silos

We have several years of experience with different types of weighing systems, whether it is for silo, tank, container, etc. Tekfa's weighing systems are available in both a  basic version, where only the weight itself is shown, and more complex versions with complete dosing controls and SCADA systems for factories, where data is transferred to the preferred ERP system.

A weighing solution for a silo system, silo weighing system or a container weighing can look in several ways, which can include varoius numbers of weighing cells, junction boxes, cables and weight indicator / weighing instruments with different built-in functions.
