Material Storage Silo System

The Material Storage Silo System is designed for the centralized storage of bulk raw materials and finished PVC dry blends. It can be integrated with pneumatic conveying, automatic batching, and mixing systems to provide reliable material storage and continuous supply for extrusion production lines. **Raw Material Storage Silos** Raw material silos are available in customized capacities, including a 150 m³ effective-volume configuration for PVC resin storage. Material-contact surfaces can be made of polished stainless steel, with surface treatments selected according to the materials and project requirements. A typical silo system may include silo-top dust filters, level sensors, access ladders, safety guardrails, pressure relief valves, and other necessary components. **Level Monitoring and Automated Operation** Level sensors monitor material levels inside the silos. When integrated with the control system, they can coordinate material filling and discharge operations, helping prevent overfilling and maintain a reliable material supply. **PVC Dry Blend Storage and Homogenization** Finished dry blend silos provide intermediate storage between the mixing and extrusion processes. Storage capacity can be designed to meet production requirements, including a buffer equivalent to 12 hours of downstream material consumption where required. Depending on the material characteristics, suitable silo geometry, discharge arrangements, and optional homogenization systems can help reduce segregation and improve batch-to-batch consistency. **Customized Solutions** Silo capacity, construction materials, discharge systems, dust filtration, level monitoring, and control functions can be customized according to material properties, production capacity, factory layout, and installation conditions.
