CONSTMACH's CS-200 represents a practical solution for concrete batching operations requiring substantial cement storage. This bolted-type silo holds 200 tonnes of cement, making it particularly suitable for high-capacity concrete plants where consistent material availability directly impacts production schedules. The 153 cubic meter storage volume, calculated at standard cement density of 1.3 tonnes per cubic meter, provides enough reserve to maintain continuous operation even during peak production periods.
The CS-200 measures 18,140 mm in height with a 4,100 mm diameter, standing on four robust legs constructed from 200 x 2 mm rectangular iron. Between these legs sits a maintenance platform that gives technicians safe access for routine inspections and servicing. The silo comes standard with both inner and outer manholes, essential features for thorough cleaning and maintenance work. Safety guards protect personnel working around the structure, while roof flanges accommodate the air filter and pressure safety valve. A dedicated roof gate provides access to the inner manhole from above.
Each CS-200 includes a complete package of operational equipment. The cement screw conveyor comes in customizable diameters and lengths to match specific plant layouts. Air fluidization nozzles prevent cement from compacting inside the cone section, ensuring smooth discharge when needed. Level indicators at top and bottom positions give operators real-time information about cement inventory. The cone butterfly valve allows manual cement discharge, giving plant operators direct control over material flow. A pulse valve works in conjunction with the air filter to maintain optimal pressure conditions inside the silo.
Manufacturing quality sets this silo apart from conventional designs. Parts are produced using laser cutting and drilling technology, which delivers the precision necessary for proper assembly in the field. This manufacturing approach means components fit together accurately without forcing or improvisation during installation. The bolted construction method allows crews to assemble the silo on site efficiently, reducing installation time compared to welded alternatives.
Structural integrity comes from thorough engineering analysis. CONSTMACH uses ANSYS Workbench CAE software to perform all static load and mechanical calculations before production begins. This computational analysis confirms the CS-200 can hold its full 200-tonne capacity without deformation under various loading conditions. The conical section uses 8 mm ST-37 sheet metal supported by 140 mm steel C-channel framing. The main body consists of 5 and 6 mm ST-37 sheet metal, while the top cover uses 4 mm material. These specifications result from calculated engineering rather than arbitrary choices.
The silo's four legs receive additional reinforcement from NPL 80 mm corner iron supports, with 20 mm sheet metal cladding protecting the leg structure. The conical section's 300 mm output diameter handles high-volume cement discharge without creating bottlenecks. A 4-inch steel charging pipe runs up to the silo leg, providing a dedicated pathway for cement delivery from bulk transport vehicles.
Surface protection consists of a methodical three-layer coating system. After anticorrosive primer application, two layers of final coat epoxy paint build up to 140 microns total thickness. This coating system guards against environmental exposure, which matters particularly for silos installed in coastal areas or industrial zones with corrosive atmospheric conditions.
The CS-200 comprises 150 individual components, all manufactured according to approved structural projects. With a total weight of 14,800 kg distributed across these components, transport and handling remain manageable even for projects in locations with limited heavy equipment access. CONSTMACH's approach combines engineering precision with practical installation requirements, delivering a cement storage solution that serves concrete production facilities reliably across diverse operating conditions.
