Mobile Cement Silos
Horizontal Mobile Cement Silos for Flexible Cement Storage and Dosing
German Plant Experience (GPE) supplies horizontal mobile cement silos designed for concrete producers, civil contractors, infrastructure projects and other applications requiring flexible cement storage and dosing.
Unlike conventional vertical cement silos, GPE mobile cement silos are designed to be transported between locations and installed with minimal site preparation. They provide a practical solution for temporary projects, mobile concrete batching plants, pugmills and construction sites where permanent silo foundations are undesirable or impractical.
Their combination of mobility, integrated cement storage, controlled dosing and rapid deployment makes them particularly suitable for projects where cement handling equipment needs to move with the operation.
Mobile Cement Silo Without Permanent Foundations
A major advantage of GPE horizontal mobile cement silos is their ability to operate without the extensive civil works normally associated with conventional vertical silos.
The silo can be positioned on a suitable prepared surface and connected to the downstream cement handling or batching equipment. Optional telescopic support legs provide additional flexibility during loading, unloading and installation.
Depending on the configuration, the telescopic-leg system can allow the silo to be loaded onto or unloaded from a trailer without requiring a separate mobile crane. This can simplify mobilisation and reduce the equipment required to establish the silo at a new site.
The exact installation arrangement depends on the silo model, capacity, site conditions and transport configuration.
Mobile Cement Silo with Load Cells
GPE mobile cement silos can be equipped with load cells for continuous weight measurement.
A load-cell-equipped silo provides the operator with real-time information about the quantity of cement stored in the silo. This can assist with:
- Accurate cement batching
- Cement inventory monitoring
- Stock management
- Replenishment planning
- Monitoring cement consumption
- Integration with automated batching systems
Where required, GPE can integrate the weighing and dosing system with the customer’s concrete batching plant or other process control system.
Cement Dosing for Different Applications
The cement dosing system can be engineered according to the required application and production process.
For example, a mobile cement silo supplying a pugmill may require a relatively low and controlled cement dosing rate, while a silo feeding a high-production concrete batching plant may require substantially higher dosing capacity.
GPE can therefore configure the cement discharge and dosing equipment around the required:
- Cement dosing rate
- Batch size
- Production capacity
- Material characteristics
- Accuracy requirements
- Downstream equipment
- Control and automation system
Time-based cement dosing can also be incorporated where this is appropriate for the application.
Designed for Pugmills, Concrete Batching Plants and Construction Projects
GPE mobile cement silos can be configured for a range of applications, including:
- Mobile concrete batching plants
- Pugmill plants
- Road construction projects
- Infrastructure projects
- Civil construction sites
- Temporary concrete production facilities
- Remote construction projects
- Projects requiring relocatable cement storage
For a mobile batching plant or pugmill operation, integrating the cement silo and dosing system into the overall plant layout can simplify material handling and reduce site installation requirements.
Tailor-Made Mobile Cement Silo Solutions
GPE does not treat mobile cement silos as a single standard configuration. The equipment can be custom engineered to suit the customer’s application, transport requirements and downstream process.
Depending on the project, optional features may include:
- Load cells
- Cement dosing equipment
- Time-based dosing
- Variable dosing rates
- Telescopic support legs
- Cement screw conveyors
- Filters
- Level monitoring
- Automated controls
- Special discharge arrangements
- Connections to existing batching or process equipment
This flexibility allows the mobile silo to be configured around the customer’s existing infrastructure rather than requiring the complete site to be redesigned around a standard silo.
Compatible with Standard Cement Delivery Trucks
GPE mobile cement silos are designed to be compatible with conventional bulk cement delivery systems.
The silo can be configured to receive cement from standard cement tankers using appropriate pneumatic filling connections and associated equipment. This allows contractors and concrete producers to use the cement delivery infrastructure already available at many construction sites.
The result is a practical mobile cement storage solution that can be deployed with minimal changes to the site’s existing material supply arrangements.
A Flexible Cement Storage Solution
A GPE horizontal mobile cement silo combines transportability, cement storage, weighing and controlled dosing in a compact system.
For contractors and concrete producers moving between projects, the ability to relocate the silo can provide a significant operational advantage. Instead of constructing a permanent cement storage facility at every project, the same mobile silo can be transported and reused as projects change.
GPE can work with your engineering and operations team to determine the appropriate mobile cement silo capacity, transport configuration, dosing system and control arrangement for your project.
