CONSTMACH's CS-50 cement silo stands out as a versatile solution for operations requiring reliable cement storage in medium-scale production environments. With its 50-tonne capacity and 38 m³ volume, this silo delivers practical performance across concrete batching plants, block manufacturing facilities, and various ground engineering applications. The design philosophy behind CS-50 focuses on combining structural integrity with logistical flexibility, making it an intelligent choice for businesses that value both quality and operational efficiency.
One of the most significant advantages of the CS-50 is its availability in both bolted and welded configurations. The bolted version brings exceptional benefits for international projects and remote locations. Two complete sets of bolted CS-50 units can be transported within a single 40-foot open-top container or standard truck, dramatically reducing shipping costs and simplifying logistics. This feature becomes particularly valuable when dealing with projects that have tight budgets or challenging access conditions. The modular design doesn't compromise on assembly quality either. Components are manufactured using precision laser cutting and drilling techniques, ensuring that on-site assembly proceeds smoothly with perfect alignment between parts.
The CS-50 comes as a complete system rather than just an empty storage vessel. CONSTMACH includes all essential auxiliary equipment needed for proper silo operation. The package comprises a cement screw conveyor that can be customized to your specific diameter and length requirements, along with critical components like the air filter, pressure safety valve, and level indicators for both top and bottom positions. Air fluidization nozzles maintain material flowability, while the pulse valve system and cone butterfly valve enable controlled manual cement discharge. This comprehensive approach eliminates the hassle of sourcing compatible equipment from multiple suppliers.
Structural design receives serious attention in the CS-50's development. The silo stands 15 meters tall with a diameter of 2,400 mm, supported by four robust legs constructed from 168 x 5 mm steel pipes. These legs incorporate maintenance platforms between them, providing safe access for inspection and upkeep activities. The conical section uses 5 mm ST-37 sheet metal reinforced with 100 mm steel C-channel supports, while the cylindrical body employs 4 mm ST-37 sheet metal. Every structural element undergoes rigorous analysis using ANSYS Workbench CAE software, ensuring the silo maintains its integrity under full load conditions without any deformation. The design accommodates a 300 mm output diameter for efficient material discharge.
Safety and accessibility features are integrated throughout the CS-50's design. The silo includes both inner and outer manholes for maintenance access, protected by appropriate safety guards. The roof section features handrails and incorporates flanges for the air filter and pressure safety valve installation. A dedicated roof gate provides access to the inner manhole. The charging pipe is designed as a 4-inch steel pipe extending up to the silo leg level, facilitating straightforward cement filling operations.
Protection against environmental factors and corrosion receives proper treatment through a three-layer painting system. CONSTMACH applies one layer of anticorrosive paint followed by two layers of final coat epoxy paint, achieving a total thickness of 140 microns. This coating system provides long-term protection against weather conditions and industrial environments, extending the silo's service life significantly.
The CS-50 represents a well-engineered balance between capacity, portability, and durability. Its 6,160 kg weight, combined with the modular design option, makes it manageable for various project scales without sacrificing structural performance. Whether your operation requires permanent installation or temporary storage solutions that might need relocation, the CS-50 adapts to your needs while maintaining consistent material storage quality. Manufacturing follows approved engineering projects, and each unit undergoes thorough structural analysis before production begins, ensuring you receive a cement silo that performs reliably from day one.
