Asphalt Plant Stock Silo
Asphalt plant storage silo is the structure where asphalt is stored to be used in the asphalt plant where asphalt is produced. Asphalt is a material produced by mixing bitumen, aggregate and additives. Asphalt plant storage silo is necessary for the storage of these components of asphalt.
Asphalt plant storage silo is usually made of steel or concrete. While steel silos are lighter and easier to carry, concrete silos are more durable and have a long life. The size of the silos varies according to the amount of asphalt to be stored.
The main function of the asphalt plant storage silo is to ensure that asphalt can be used uninterruptedly during production. While the asphalt plant mixes the components of the asphalt, the production process continues by withdrawing asphalt from the silo. Thus, the waiting time in the production of asphalt is eliminated and production becomes more efficient.
Asphalt plant storage silo is an indispensable part of asphalt plant facilities. These silos play an important role in the production of asphalt and increase the efficiency of production.
Asphalt plant stockpile silos can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, or fiberglass. Steel is the most common material used for asphalt plant stockpile silos. Steel is a strong and durable material that helps maintain the temperature of the asphalt. Aluminum is a lighter weight option for asphalt plant stockpile silos and is less expensive than steel. Fiberglass is a lighter weight and more durable option for asphalt plant stockpile silos.
Asphalt plant stockpile silos are available with a number of different features. These features include:
Capacity: Asphalt plant stockpile silos are available in capacities ranging from 100 to 1,000 tons.
Material: Asphalt plant stockpile silos can be made from a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, or fiberglass.
Heating: Asphalt plant stockpile silos can be equipped with heating to maintain the temperature of the asphalt.
Ventilation: Asphalt plant stockpile silos can be equipped with ventilation to help aerate the asphalt.
Asphalt plant stock silos are widely used in the asphalt industry. It is used in asphalt road construction, asphalting and other asphalt applications.
Asphalt plant stock silo is an important structure used in asphalt plant facilities. These silos play an important role in the production of asphalt and increase the efficiency of production.
Alfamix Asphalt Plant Stock Silo Features
It can be divided for 5 or 6 types of aggregate.
If desired, the filler eye on the stock silo body can be divided into one or two parts. In this way, a stock area is created for coarse filler, fine filler or mineral additive.
Optional lower limit, upper limit or radar level sensors can be added to the system.
There are sampling eyes on the stock silo for each material.
Asphalt plant stock silos are important equipment used in asphalt production. Regular maintenance and repair of this structure is necessary to maintain the efficiency and safety of the asphalt plant facility.
