Silo and Bin Plants

Wirtech AG is an expert for:

• Bin silos
• Round silos
• Silos for bulk loading
• Upper hopper
• Lower hopper
• Intermediate storage
  
  

Pneumatic filling and discharging, using a rotary valve fan with an acoustic hood, pneumatic line, diverter valve pressure monitoring, pneumatic cyclone, pinch valve, spout magnet, high level and low level indicators, etc.

Mechanical filling and discharging using chain conveyor, screw conveyor, belt conveyor, troughed belt conveyor, pneumatic slide, hopper slide gate, rotary bin discharger, discharging screw conveyor, feed screw conveyor (represented by the firm Gottwald GmbH, Germany), gravity spout, flap valve, diverter valve, rotary distributor (represented by NORO), high level/low level indicators, etc.

Control is in accordance with the requirements of the customer: fully automatic and monitored by sensors, semi-automatic or manual. The content of the silo can be metered and  completely discharged fully automatic by using various systems .

Possibilities:

• Metering with conveyor scale belt
• Batching scale screw conveyor
• Rotary scales
• Bin scale
• Hopper scale

Silo with Hopper Scale
For customers who wish to store large amounts of different products (often cereals) in separate silo bins, in order to bring them together "just in time" and precisely weighed in the hopper scale.

Thereby the user defines the formula for each of his final products. For each formula, the applicable components and the amount required are saved. The user passes on the order to the control system by simple mouse click. The exactly defined quantity of the various components from the appropriate storage bins are mixed together, fully automatic and without manual monitoring. As soon as each ingredient of the formula has attained its required target weight, the content of the scale is transmitted mechanically, or pneumatically, to the target address (the target address can be an intermediate hopper, mixer, roller mill, furnace or a pellet mill).

Also multiple orders can be placed (batch processing). The control monitors each step and gives the order for the next step as soon as the hopper scale has been emptied from the previous order. Thanks to the intelligent control and monitoring, the system can be operated 24 hours a day. The software can be extended according to the customer's request.

Extensions:

• Storage administration module
• Calculation/tender formula module
• Protocol and statistic module
• Product tracking module
• etc.

Depending on the application, storage volume and product stored, the optimal silo solution must be found. Wirtech AG offers solutions ranging from small bulk and loading containers to ingredient bins with more than 2000m³ of storage volume.

Silos:

• Dome wall silo (steel)
• Round silo (from round, profiled or lapped steel plate)
• Bulk, loading silo (steel)
• Smooth wall silo (steel)
• Ingredient bins (steel, cement, wood)
