Firstly, let's analyze the causes of cement lumps.

Cement lumps are caused by premature hydration. Through analyzing the factors of steel plate silos, we find that generally speaking, if a steel plate silo has experienced heavy rain before being put into use after construction and there is water leakage, it may later develop lumps. Besides, there are of course other factors, such as significant temperature differences between the inside and outside of the steel plate silo, condensation of moisture in the air inside the silo causing cement lumps, and also, if there is a fine drizzle seeping through the bottom of the steel plate silo into the silo, causing moisture inside, this situation may also occur.

How should we address this situation then?

1. Avoid storing cement in the warehouse only halfway full to minimize the height of condensation that may form on the walls.

2. Shorten the storage time for winter cement and perform artificial aeration within the warehouse to maintain the cement's activity.

3. The dust removal equipment on the steel plate storage roof should be kept in a constant open state to enhance the exhaust of hot air inside the warehouse.

4. Insulate the surface of the steel plate silo.

5. It's also crucial to ensure proper waterproofing.

Of course, there are many related measures for preventing ice formation in cement steel silos.
