What type of drawing are you looking for? Are you sure you mean a cement silo?

Typically cement is not homogenized. The raw meal prior to the calcination process is homogenized to smooth out the variations from the grinding mills.

Dimensions and Shape -- interesting questions

The silos are normally round and tall -- the specific dimensions are based on the storage capacity to meet your requirements.

Storage requirements and whether you need a single blender or multiple blenders depend on your kiln feed rates as the blending process requires some retention time of the material.

Retention times are based on the degree of blending required which is a function of the standard deviation of your control parameter coming from the mills compared to the standard deviation of the control parameter after blending. The ratio of those standard deviations is the blending factor. The higher the factor needed, usually the more aggressive blending system you need and longer retention time.

There are true Homogenizing systems which completely fluidize the silo contents requiring high air volumes and energy which produce high blend ratios and there are gravity type blenders which are less energy intensive but also cannot produce high blend ratios. There are designs between those two as well.

If all you want is a "picture" of a homogenizing silo, send me a request to my business e-mail below and I can most likely help you out.

If you want a drawing to depict a specific design for your situation, that requires alot more information and effort. If that's your goal, send me a request to my business e-mail below and I'll prepare a proposal for your consideration.

If you just want to see what a homognizing silo is --suggest you do a google search and visit the various equipment supplier web sites and you may be able to download a "picture"

Some analytical models would no doubt exist but the parameters of aeration quantity, pressure, design of the blender bottom, etc all come into play.

Best way is to test in a lab unit and scale up. ■

no sir, I did not receive an e-mail from you

sorry ■

That is my correct e-mail address although I did not receive it --sorry, but can you please send again?

I'm sorry that they have not been received -- if you are using the correct address, pcchilbert@entermail.net, it should be received unless for some reason your files are corrupt and my filters and virus protection block your transmittal.
