As a leading cement silo manufacturer with 10+ years of experience, DARKO specializes in high-capacity, durable steel cement silos for bulk storage in cement plants, ready-mix concrete, and construction industries. Our ISO & CE-certified silos feature corrosion-resistant coatings, airtight sealing, and advanced level monitoring, ensuring safe and efficient storage of cement, fly ash, and other powdered materials.
With a global presence in 20+ countries, we offer customizable silo solutions in capacities from 50 to 10,000+ tons, designed for low maintenance, long-term reliability, and environmental compliance.
Cement Silo Working Principle
Cement silos operate through a simple yet efficient gravity-fed system. Bulk materials like cement or fly ash are pneumatically pumped into the top of the silo, where they settle in the storage chamber. When needed, the material flows downward by gravity through the conical bottom, assisted by optional aeration pads that prevent compaction. A discharge gate controls the release of material to screw conveyors or other transport systems, while integrated dust collectors maintain clean operation.
The system features smart automation for optimal performance. Level sensors monitor inventory in real-time, while pressure relief valves ensure safe operation. Optional fluidization systems use controlled air flow to maintain material fluidity, preventing clogging and ensuring consistent discharge rates. This reliable mechanism enables continuous material supply to batching plants or construction sites with minimal energy consumption and maintenance requirements.
