Silo Discharge For dlnker silo discharge with low dust emission, for proportional addition of loweburnt or foreign clinker AUMUND's range of products includes gravity dis change systems operating in combination with the deep drawn pan conveyor type KZB 250. The gravity discharge unit is designed to prevent the dlinker from falling in an Uncontrolled manner onto the pan con- veyor. The material column on the pan conveyor is reclaimed with low speed thus minimizing the generation of dust and avoiding dust fters. The gravity dis- charge systems are provided with a shell valve which can either be operated man: ly or by means of a gear motor As the height of the material layer on the pan conveyor is preset during commissioning, the discharge capacity and feeding onto the subsequent conveying equipment is maintained at a fixed rate, For maximum use of the stored volume, large clinker silos are equipped with a multitude of gravity discharge units. The motorized discharge units are actuated by remote control to allow for automatic change of the discharge points at regular intervals and uniform discharge of the stored material For automatic operation the pan convey: or is fitted with an ultrasonic sensor ensuring switching from one silo dis charge point to another if the material flow is insufficient (Combined with the deep drawn pan con: veyor the silo discharge systems are used in direct feeding of the mill hoppers. The 20 m curve radius and the 28° inclination of the pan conveyor allow for a layout with a direct conveying line, thus avoiging additional transfer points. © Conveying from clinker silo to mil hopper with minimized dust generation © No dust fters © Discharge capacities exceeding 750th © More than 1,300 silo discharge systems in operation © Variable discharge capacity with frequency-controlled conveyor drive
