As an important facility for storing various materials, the smoothness of the inner wall of bite-type steel silo equipment is closely related to the amount of material residue. A smooth inner wall can effectively reduce material adhesion and accumulation, which not only improves unloading efficiency, but also reduces cleaning costs and ensures material quality. From the source of manufacturing to use and maintenance, the optimization of multiple links can effectively control material residue by improving the smoothness of the inner wall of bite-type steel silo equipment.
In the material selection stage of bite-type steel silo equipment, material properties have a far-reaching impact on the smoothness of the inner wall. The selection of high-quality steel plates with high surface flatness and few impurities can lay the foundation for a smooth inner wall from the source. If there are defects such as pores and pitting on the surface of the steel plate, it is very easy to become the attachment point of material residue. At the same time, considering the characteristics of different materials, choosing suitable corrosion-resistant materials can avoid the rough surface caused by rust and corrosion of the warehouse wall, thereby increasing the risk of material residue. Only by combining the strength, weather resistance and surface finish of the material can good material conditions be provided for reducing material residue.
The processing technology of bite-type steel silo equipment determines the initial smooth state of the inner wall. High-precision cutting and bending processes can make the edges of the steel plates neat and the transition of the bends natural, avoiding burrs and corners caused by insufficient processing accuracy. These irregular parts are easy to hang materials. The core bite process requires the steel plates to bite tightly and smoothly to ensure that there are no gaps or protrusions at the junction of the warehouse wall. Any bite defects will destroy the continuous smoothness of the inner wall, causing the material to get stuck and stay during circulation. Therefore, exquisite processing technology is a key link in creating a smooth inner wall and reducing material residue.
Surface treatment of the inner wall of bite-type steel silo equipment can further improve its smoothness. Mechanical polishing or chemical polishing can eliminate fine scratches and unevenness on the surface of the steel plate and reduce the friction coefficient between the material and the warehouse wall. In addition, it is also a common method to apply a smooth protective coating on the inner wall, such as epoxy resin coating or polytetrafluoroethylene coating. These coatings can not only enhance the surface finish, but also have anti-corrosion and wear-resistant properties, which can reduce material residue and extend the service life of the silo body. However, the coating construction must be uniform, otherwise problems such as sagging and bubbles will affect the smooth effect of the inner wall.
Reasonable structural design is crucial to reduce material residue in bite-type steel silo equipment. The taper design of the silo body must fit the flow characteristics of the material. Too large or too small a taper angle may cause the material to accumulate at the bottom of the silo. Unnecessary support structures or raised parts should be minimized inside the silo body. If it cannot be avoided, the surface should be treated to be as smooth as the silo wall, and the position should be reasonably planned to prevent the formation of material residue space. The silo body with a circular cross-section has a consistent curvature everywhere, which is more conducive to the smooth flow of materials than other shapes, and can effectively reduce the material retention caused by the shape of the inner wall.
The installation accuracy of bite-type steel silo equipment directly affects the smoothness and continuity of the inner wall. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that each steel plate is accurately positioned and tightly engaged. If the steel plate is misaligned or the gap is too large, the surface of the inner wall will become uneven, and the material will easily accumulate when passing through these areas. The professional installation team uses precision measuring tools to strictly calibrate each process to ensure that the interior of the silo is smooth and uniform, creating good conditions for the smooth unloading of materials.
Follow the standard operation during use to maintain the smooth effect of the inner wall of the bite-type steel silo equipment. When loading and unloading materials, avoid excessive impact on the silo wall to prevent deformation from affecting the flatness of the inner wall. Control the feed speed and drop point to prevent the material from concentratedly impacting the local part of the silo wall and causing rough wear. Ensure smooth operation of the equipment during unloading to avoid frequent knocking on the silo wall due to poor unloading. At the same time, follow the principle of first-in-first-out materials to prevent materials from being retained in the silo for a long time and agglomerating. These measures can effectively avoid aggravating material residues due to improper use.
Regular maintenance is a long-term means to ensure the smoothness of the inner wall of the bite-type steel silo equipment. During daily inspections, timely discover and deal with rust, wear, deformation and other problems of the silo wall, and restore the inner wall to smoothness through grinding and repair, and re-coating. Clean the silo regularly, use soft tools to gently remove material residues, and avoid scratching the silo wall with hard tools. Establish a complete maintenance file, record the use and maintenance of equipment, and promptly discover and deal with potential problems to ensure that the inner wall of the bite-type steel silo equipment always maintains good smoothness and continuously reduce the probability of material residue.
