Cement silos are made in sizes of 30, 50, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200 tons, and in this way, cement is stored in closed containers without bags. It should also be noted that it is allowed to store all kinds of cement in the cement silo for a maximum of three months. After 4 to 6 weeks, you will notice that the strength of the cement is decreasing. When the strength of cement decreases, the resistance of the desired concrete will also decrease and this issue will be very dangerous for the buildings or structures that are under construction. It must be stated that one of the most important issues in maintaining The important thing about cement is that moisture and especially water does not reach it, so the cement envelopes should not be wet or torn. because moisture can cause partial lumping and sticking in the cement, which affects its strength. The best way to find out whether the use of cement in the structure is allowed or not is to remove the lumps with your finger. Break it, if it doesn't break, you shouldn't use it at all. Sometimes cement that has air entrapment can be used, but its strength has decreased and it can only be used in non-structural uses, or its resistance value can be determined by compressive strength testing. Therefore, the information of storing cement in silos can have many benefits for people in the workshop and construction project contractors. Cement silos are made of the following two types:fixed silo
Mobile Silo
The best cement silo is one that does not get water inside and does not have moisture. As mentioned, if there is moisture or water, cement loses its strength and can no longer be used in the project.
It should be noted that the sheet of cement silos should be at least 5 cm and the inner surface should be smooth and of very high quality, which will prevent cement particles from sticking to it and drain it more easily. These useful and widely used silos are made in the following 2 modes:
Joshi
Screw
Constituents of cement silage
The main components of cement silage include the following:
⚫️ Supports ⚫️ bases ⚫️ Funnel and guards ⚫️ Body and...
It should be noted that the silo is placed on the bases and supports are used to connect the bases. Also, the silo has a funnel that is designed to get the materials out of it. And it also has a metal ladder to climb the silo.
Advantages of cement silage
⚫️ The cheapness of bulk cement compared to a bag, bulk cement is cheaper than packaged cement and costs related to transportation and unloading are reduced.
⚫️ Using a bag makes Do not damage the cement. With the construction of silos, there is no need to carry cement bags to the mixer and finally the cement bags do not tear in any way. Cement is impermeable. The presence of silos reduces corruption in cement.
⚫️ The use of cement silage makes measurements easier when making concrete.
⚫️ The use of cement silage makes the workshop environment clean.
