Why
|
A very large number of industries use products handled and stored in bulk.
Because of the endless diversity of these products, their storage poses a serious problem. Different approaches are possible, but they are not all equally effective. To ensure good results, the various solutions require very careful study. |

 MASSFlowMASS Flow This type of flow requires perfect adaptation of the characteristics of the silo (geometry of the cone, delivery dimensions) to the properties of the product stored. Reserved for products that offer a good flow, it is difficult to apply this solution to large storage volumes. (--) FIFO flow
(++) Preserved product (--) Multi-product (--) Controlled emptying However, MORILLON has often worked with conical silos with intermediate solutions(see example). Our design office is at your disposal (contact)

 FUNNELFlowThis is relatively frequent when the geometry of the silo is not completely adapted to the product stored. The FIFO principle does not apply. Tunnel flow encourages the separation of the fine particles from the largest ones. When emptied out, the product is no longer homogenous. (--) FIFO flow
(--) Preserved product (--) Multi-product (--) Controlled emptying |
 ARCHFormationThis critical situation arises when the silo and the product are totally incompatible. Gravity delivery is interrupted by the formation of a dome above the silo delivery outlet. There is a major risk of an “avalanche” liable to cause serious damage. (--) FIFO flow
(--) Preserved product (--) Multi-product (--) Controlled emptying |
 CONTROLLEDFlowDelivery similar to controlled mass flow, FIFO delivery ensured. The product is preserved and the delivery process controlled. An ideal solution suitable for a wide range of products with an extensive field of application. A silo designed to meet the scale of the requirement. (++) FIFO flow
