Weighing silo W-series

horizontalfor bulk materialscement

General information
The horizontal cement silo with integrated load cells provides precise, fully controlled dosing of cement and similar dry bulk materials. Equipped with a high‑accuracy weighing system, the silo continuously monitors material weight and ensures exact measurement during loading and discharge. The integrated weighing technology allows the silo to function as an independent dosing unit or as part of a stationary or mobile concrete plant.

Overview
The control unit automates cement dosing according to the specified recipe and displays real‑time data on weight, fill level and discharge quantities. The silo’s robust structural design ensures safe handling and stability during operation and transport. Maintenance requirements are low thanks to easily accessible and protected load cells and control electronics.

Key points

• Eliminates need for external weighing devices; enables precise filling of mixers, screw conveyors or big bags directly from the silo with high repeatability.
• Discharge capacity options: 15 m3/h, 25 m3/h, 40 m3/h.
• Operates as an independent dosing unit or integrates with stationary or mobile concrete plants.

Advantages

• Designed for long operational life with structural steel construction.
• Prepared for seamless integration with mobile mixing plants for fast connection and automated discharge control.
• Optimized material flow with discharge geometry, aeration and dust filtration to reduce blockages and emissions.
• Low maintenance and high availability due to accessible components.
• Engineered for simplified transport and site relocation.

Applications and materials
Primarily for cement storage and dosing; also suitable for dry bulk materials with similar properties such as fly ash, lime, mineral fillers and other fine powders used in construction.

Operation and control
Integrated load cells and a high‑accuracy weighing system continuously monitor extracted material and control dosing by target weight. Discharge is weight‑based and batch‑controlled: once the set target weight is reached the discharge stops automatically, ensuring accurate and repeatable dosing and smooth integration with automated concrete production.

Installation and maintenance
The horizontal silo is delivered fully pre‑assembled and typically requires no special foundations. Installation generally consists of mechanical positioning and basic electrical connections. Design minimizes maintenance through protected and accessible weighing and control components.

FAQ (selected)

• Is the silo suitable only for cement or also for other bulk materials? Answer: Primarily designed for cement but suitable for other dry bulk materials with similar properties (fly ash, lime, mineral fillers, fine powders).
• Can the silo be integrated with a concrete batching plant or mobile mixing plant? Answer: Yes — standard configuration includes necessary electrical components and interfaces for quick connection and integration.
• What is the expected service life of the silo? Answer: Several decades under normal operation and proper maintenance; designed to meet applicable international standards.
• How long does installation take? Answer: Very fast and simple; delivered pre‑assembled and typically requires only mechanical positioning and basic electrical connections on site.
• Is the discharge continuous or batch‑based? Answer: Discharge is weight‑based and batch‑controlled; the weighing system monitors extraction and stops when target weight is reached.
