Cautionary Notes for the Use of Cement, Fly Ash Steel Silos and Associated Equipment

Ensure the components of the steel silo safety valve are flexible

Each month, regularly inspect the bolts, springs, and other components of the safety valve in the steel plate silo to ensure they are flexible and intact. Especially when the safety valve has released over-pressurized gas, do not blindly adjust the pressure of the safety valve. Check if the dust collector at the top of the steel plate silo is blocked. Inspect at least once a month; when a blockage is found, remove the top cover, remove the filter element, manually shake it to remove accumulated material, and then reassemble it for use. The removed fabric bags can be washed, dried, and reused; if the accumulated material is removed, they can be reused. If the accumulated material cannot be removed, replace them with new bags for use. Otherwise, damage and safety hazards may occur, with dire consequences.

2. Strictly prohibited from blowing dust storage on steel plate silos.

When using steel plate silos, it is strictly prohibited to blow dust into the silo once the material reaches the rated storage capacity. If such an occurrence happens, it may lead to dangerous situations like overflow or collapse of the silo. For the safety of steel plate silo operation, operators must strictly follow the precautions and operate as required.

3. Operation of steel plate silo safety valves

The steel plate silo is undergoing blowing ash storage, and the safety valve is first opened to reach the rated internal pressure of the steel plate silo.

4. Operation of the vibrator inside the dust collection device of the steel plate silo

After the steel plate silo is completed with blowing and storage, activate the dust collector's vibrator for 5-6 minutes to ensure the cleanliness of the filters within the dust collector, guarantee the normal operation of the safety valve, and achieve the normal rated storage capacity of the steel plate silo material.

5. Strictly control the service life of the dust collection device on the top of the steel plate silo

To ensure optimal performance of the steel plate silo, the dust collector filter element should be removed and cleaned every month of use to maintain its lifespan. The filter element must be replaced every three months.

6. Inspect and clean the steel plate silo with an all-purpose valve

Inspect and clean the safety valve of the steel silo, and the surrounding environment of the dust collector to ensure normal operation.

Once the steel plate silo is constructed, the operator should carefully and meticulously review the instruction manual. Properly follow the above points, and promptly contact the contractor if any issues arise. When using the steel plate silo for discharging, connect compressed air to the de-caking device to perform an air炮 inside the silo, which will loosen the material and facilitate smooth discharge.
