POLYGON MACHINE
Cement Silo Solutions From Polygon Machine for All Your Project Needs
Cement silos are indispensable large-capacity storage tanks crucial for the safe storage and preservation of cement and other fine-grained materials such as fly ash, lime, and slag. These essential structures are commonly utilized across concrete production plants, construction sites, ready-mix concrete facilities, and play a vital role in mining and energy production operations. Their primary function extends beyond mere storage; they actively protect sensitive materials from moisture, contamination, and other external factors, thereby maintaining material quality and usability for extended periods. This protection is paramount to ensuring the integrity of construction materials and the efficiency of industrial processes.
Bolted Segment Kitset Cement and Mineral Silos
Polygon Machine Bolted Segment Kitset Silos are distinguished by their modular design, comprising pre-fabricated steel segments that are manufactured with exceptional precision. These segments are transported to the installation site and then systematically bolted together, typically commencing from the base rings and progressing upwards. This assembly method represents a significant departure from traditional welded silos, which are either fabricated as single, bulky units in a shop or field-welded piece by piece on-site, a process that can be cumbersome and time-consuming.
The manufacturing process for Polygon Machine’s bolted silos employs sensitive laser cutting and drilling methods, ensuring that each component fits with high precision during assembly. This meticulous approach to fabrication contributes directly to the structural integrity of the assembled silo. Furthermore, the structural soundness of these silos is rigorously verified through advanced Computational Aided Engineering (CAE) software, such as ANSYS Workbench.
This analytical rigor ensures that the silo can safely stock large quantities of cement or similar materials without any deformation, even under demanding conditions. The design also incorporates robust features like high-strength steel ladder systems, safety handrails, and maintenance platforms, enhancing operational safety and ease of access. Polygon Machine’s bolted silos are available in a wide range of capacities, with modern large bolted silos capable of reaching up to 40 meters in diameter and storing up to 50,000 cubic meters of material.
Horizontal Low Level Cement Silos
Polygon Machine Horizontal Low Level Cement Silos are characterized by their compact, elongated horizontal structure, which results in a low-profile footprint. This design makes them particularly suitable for environments with height restrictions. A key feature of these silos is their high mobility, often achieved by mounting the silo body on a trailer equipped with double axles and tires, facilitating easy transport between sites.
Internally, these silos are engineered for efficient material flow. They are equipped with vibrators, pneumatic elements, and fluidization nozzles that work in concert to ensure proper and continuous discharge of cement, preventing material clumping or blockages. Material transfer from the silo is efficiently managed by an integrated V-type horizontal screw conveyor positioned beneath the silo body. For operational convenience and maintenance, these silos typically include maintenance doors on both sides and on the roof, allowing for easy access and inspection. Polygonmachine offers horizontal silos with capacities such as 39 tonnes (equivalent to 30 m³), with general horizontal silo capacities ranging from 15 m³ to 100 m³.
Monoblock Welded Cement and Mineral Silos
Polygon Machine Monoblock Welded Cement and Mineral Silos are distinguished as factory-welded, single-piece units, designed for maximum structural rigidity and stability. These silos are constructed from heavy-duty steel, with specifications typically including ST-37 grade steel, with body sheets ranging from 4-5 mm and conical parts at 5 mm thickness. The manufacturing process emphasizes high weldment integrity, often utilizing submerged arc welding of carbon steel cylinders to ensure 100% penetration with no slag or porosity.
Standard features integrated into these silos include a skirted design, hinged louvered access doors, a center dome with cover, and a bottom discharge opening. For operational safety and accessibility, they are equipped with deck perimeter guardrails, ladders, platforms, and cages that adhere to OSHA guidelines. Additional components include manholes/vents, air pad holes, sight glasses, silo inventory measuring head openings, safety valves, and level indicators. Polygon Machine offers these welded silos in various capacities, commonly ranging from 50 to 100 tons, with specific models like a 50-ton (39 m³), 75-ton (58 m³), and 100-ton (85 m³) capacity.
Mobile Cement Silos on Wheels
Polygon Machine Mobile Cement Silos on Wheels are engineered for ultimate portability, integrating a robust wheeled chassis, often with double axles and tires, to facilitate rapid transport. These units typically feature a low-profile design, similar to horizontal silos, which further enhances their ease of transport and maneuverability on various job sites.
These mobile silos are equipped with a suite of advanced features designed to ensure efficient and safe operation. This includes a powerful 60HP blower package for high-volume material transfer, an automated vane feeder system, and integrated dust control mechanisms, such as a silo top dust collector and overfill protection systems. A smart control panel provides automated and manual switches for major components, alarm lights for level indicators, and overpressure safeguards, ensuring precise control and operational safety. An aeration system, complete with a pre-wired air compressor and aeration pads, is integrated into the silo cone to ensure consistent material flow and prevent blockages. Polygon Machine offers mobile silos with capacities ranging from 20 to 192 tons, with specific models capable of holding up to 192 tons (174 metric tons) or 3760 cubic feet.
