APPLICATIONS SILO PIPELINE SYSTEM
MAIN MENU
ESSER TWIN 700 SILO PIPELINE Bulk materials are temporarily stored in the silo, which are later transported underground for further processing or storage. Simple pneumatic filling takes place via the truck's on-board compressor, which builds up an operating pressure of up to 2 bar (30 psi). Silo pipelines are designed in nominal diameters of DN 80 (NPS 3 in.) or DN 100 (NPS 4 in.) and reach total lengths of around 50 meters; the capacity of the truck compressor is usually not sufficient for larger nominal widths. Higher values are only possible with the use of auxiliary systems when compressed air is supplied to the filling line via bypass systems. If hard bulk materials are transported quickly through the line via flight conveying (dilute phase conveying), the points that cause a change in the conveying direction are particularly exposed to increased wear. Where possible, we recommend using large radii (R >= 1000 mm) for the bends in order to keep the wear load as low as possible. In addition to pipelines with flange connections, we are also increasingly equipping silo pipelines with coupling connections. This type of pipe connection is becoming increasingly popular as it has the advantage of faster assembly. If servicing is required, it can be disconnected and reconnected quickly. From the inlet pipe with truck connection (Storz coupling) to the silo roof, we build the pipeline to the requirements of the application and the needs of our customers.
