buffer bin

Product Overview

Cache silo is the key pivotal equipment in the industrial continuous production process, which is used for intermediate storage, buffer and balanced feeding of materials. It effectively solves the production bottleneck problems caused by mismatch of processing capacity, running time or rhythm between the front and rear processes, ensures the stable, efficient and continuous operation of the whole system, and is the necessary equipment to improve the automation level and production efficiency.

Core functions and values

1. Production buffer and equalization

• Eliminate production bottlenecks: Absorb the fluctuating output of the previous process (such as intermittent unloading, output fluctuations), provide continuous and stable material supply for the equipment in the latter section, and ensure the continuous operation of the production line.

• Balance equipment differences: Solve the problem of mismatch between the processing capacity of upstream and downstream equipment (e.g. crusher and conveyor), maximize the production efficiency of the core host.

2. Ensure system stability

• Prevent material breakage and overflow: Avoid system shutdown, idling or material overflow caused by the shutdown of the front-sequence equipment or the blockage of the back-sequence equipment, so as to protect the safety of the equipment.

• Responding to emergencies: In case of short-term failure or maintenance, provide a certain amount of material reserves to buy time for repair and reduce the loss of production interruption.

3. Process optimization

• Homogenization: Stirring and mixing materials with slightly fluctuating compositions (optional configuration), which plays the role of homogenization and ensures stable product quality.

• Transit distribution: It can be used as a material transit station to realize the function of distributing materials to several downstream production lines.

Typical Components

A complete cache silo system typically consists of:

1. Silo: The main structure, which can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, etc., is designed with suitable angles to ensure smooth discharge.

2. Feeder: The material is fed into the silo through belt conveyors, screw conveyors, elevators, etc.

3. Discharging device:

   • Feeder: Core control components, such as vibrating feeder (GZV), bar valve, impeller feeder, belt feeder, etc., used to quantitatively and controllably supply materials to downstream equipment.

Areas of application

Cache silos are used in virtually all industrial applications involving the handling of bulk materials:

• Mining and metallurgy: buffer and transit in crushing and screening lines

• Cement and building materials: buffer in front of raw material and cement depots, as well as transit silos in mixing plants.

• Coal power: coal yard to the coal conveyor system or boiler coal feeder buffer feed.

• Chemical Plastics: Intermediate storage and quantitative feeding of granular and powdered raw materials.

• Food & Pharmaceutical: Buffering and distribution of food grade materials such as grain, sugar, milk powder, etc.

• Environmental waste disposal: Buffering between incineration plant waste pits and feed systems.
