For 16 t silo a loader ?.Please provide detailed description.

Your thread needs some refining. 16 Mt can be either 16 million tonnes or 16 metric tonnes. At 1500 kg/m3 you get 10,666,000 m3 or 10.5 m3 of material. With a flat bottom we could talk live storage versus dead storage but at 16 tonnes this is irrevelant. 16,000,000 tonnes is too big

Loader access

Would be to clean out the dead regions when you shut down annually but at 16 tonnes a small loader will take your 16 tonnes away with two shovel fulls.

Emmision system

Would be a bin vent for the feed on top and your extraction on the bottom. For this you need to supply flow rates and transfer point knowledge. It does not sound like you have that yet

Good luck with that ■

Prefix M denotes mega and quantifies the storage as sixteen million tonnes in today's engineering world. The question definitely requires a lot of elaboration. Tonnes is metric by name.

Yet again....can we please have symbols and suffixed text added to the tooolbar? ■

I am looking a basic design requirement for designing of flat storage silo for clinker with dust emission system.

The total storage capacity 16,000 Metric tonnes

including Handling area for loader and truck to reclaim and dischagre

Please provide any suit design, major design requirements etc.

Hi.

We can help in design, engineering and supply of the complete system. akash@gpegroup.com.au ■

Flat storage:

1.- Making a 4.8m height pile you might need around 30 x 60 m area. Do you have that area available?

2.- How do you plan to pile the clinker? Will you have a stacker or will you use a front end loader?

3.- Do you need it fully covered?

4.- If you need a truck loader you will probably have to use a bucket elevator to rise the clinker to a bin and use a telescopic spout.

Silo:

1.- It could be a metallic silo or a concrete silo.

2.- How do you plan to fill the silo up? You will need a bucket elevator or an inclined belt (if clinker is cold enough) or metallic conveyor.

3- truck loader could be easily installed beneath the silo; a telescopic one with dust collector included.

You have to make an assessment of the whole system, including clinker reception, conveying to storage, clinker discharge to truck loading and dedusting. That’s the only way to define what the best option for your facility is.

The requirement is 16000 MT clinker storage capacity i.e., 16000*1.5=24000 Cu.M. I think you can go for a RCC Silo for good environment. Otherwise for flat storage, you have to go clinker shaft with 2 sides opening for wheel loader entry. There will be bottom openings for extracting the clinker to a tunnel belt conveyor. ■
