1 General Data
Voltage : 400 V
Frequency 50 Hz
Control voltage : 240 V
Raw Meal
Fluidslide slope : 6
The finished raw meal is transported from raw meal mill (by customer) via bucket elevator (by
customer), fluidslides (by customer) and one distributor box into the raw meal blending silo.
The required conveying air for fluidslides is generated by high pressure fans (by customer).
In order to attain an even material distribution in the silo, there is a parallel distributor system
with eight airslides legs which finally discharge the material into the silo.
The parallel distributor with connected airslides is aerated by a high pressure fan.
The actual feeding of raw meal blending silo has to be carried out in accordance with the
requirement of the correct material layer built-up
The raw meal silo is equipped with an air balance valve to compensate for extreme pressure
fluctuations in the delivery air. The air balance valve does not provide overfilling protection.
The filter plant for the silo to be charged ensures that the delivery air is dedusted and
discharged (by customer).
The silo filling level is continuously monitored by a silo radar.
A max. level indicator is used for sequential switch-off of the feeding process
During the silo feeding operation, the following plant components are activated:
Filter plant on silo roof
Further transfer components
The high pressure fan(s) for Fluidslide

Preconditions:
Pressure switch indicates a control air pressure of min. 6 bar.
All field and plant components are in functioning.
Start signal for silo feeding is given
Silo level device indicates "free capacity", material can be accepted
All respective electrical components (i.e., fuses, breaker) are functioning
Further transfer components and filter plants from mill are ready for operation
Start up-procedure:
The shut-down process takes place in the reverse sequence to start up (included delay time
between the sequences).
Normal shut-down of the process takes place, if the lagging time for emptying out the relevant
activated conveying systems is over. The filtering system switches off after an adjustable
slowing down time.
The interrupted shut-down takes place if any part has a fault, that means the preceding
equipment will stop immediately (feeder flow route) and the following equipment will take
place in the reverse sequence to start up (included delay time between the sequences the
delay time will be set during the commissioning period).
2.6 Interlocking
There is always a locking device for the compressed air switch / control air compressor, for the
filtering system, or within sequential switching.
The material supply must be automatically interrupted during power failure.

The raw meal silo is designed as a central cone silo. The blending effect is attained during the
discharge process which means that raw meal from different material layers (built-up during silo
feeding) flow together.
During the discharging process, raw meal from different material layers (built-up when feeding
the silo) will flow together and create the blending effect.
The silo is provided with a total of six outlets, each equipped with one manually operated cut-off
gate, one electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gate and a fluidslide conveyor systems.
The silo bottom aeration area is divided into six sections, with each section subdivided into two
(left hand and right hand from respective flow control gate).
Each silo section and sub-section is independently controlled through pneumatically operated
butterfly valves, supplied by two dedicated rotary piston blowers.
For silo discharge, each aeration section is supplied with compressed air from the silo blowers
via a pneumatically actuated butterfly valve belonging to the respective silo bottom section.
Required air for the discharge process is delivered by rotary piston blowers.
The airslides between the silo and the weighing bin are aerated by a high pressure fan.
The discharge process into the weighing bin is controlled by a shifting register via e.g. PLC. The
respective shifting register (e.g. via PLC) ensures an even silo discharge by switching from two
discharge (sub-) sections to the next discharge (sub-) sections (timer based).
During the discharge two of the subsections in the silo are supplied with aerating air at the
same time.
After elapsing a set time period (about 10-20min), the next discharge (sub-) sections will be
activated, by means of closing and opening the concerned pneumatic butterfly valves and
electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gates.
This change-over is carried out with an overlap time of approx. 5 seconds (adjustable period of
time), i.e. before the last selected pneumatic butterfly valves and flow control gates close, the
next pneumatic butterfly valves and flow control gates are opened.
After a stop or completion of a discharge procedure, for the next start (restart) the butterfly
valves and the flow control gates selected last will be activated again (for the remaining period
of time).
If a rotary piston blower has a fault, the required air for the discharge process is delivered by
only one rotary piston blower. In this case only one discharge subsection is supplied with
aerating air at the same time.
If the discharge process takes place with only one rotary piston blower the blending effect is
inferior as the blending effect by the normal discharge process.
The material level in the weighing bin is kept constant in accordance with the set value by
opening and closing the electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gates (silo outlets) and
pneumatic butterfly valves. The angle of opening for the flow control gates (silo outlets) is
controlled via a Max-Max level indicator and via load cells (weigh bin).

Max.-max.-level indicator
The degree of opening for the electro-pneumatic flow control gates (silo outlets) is inversely
proportional to the material level in the weighing bin (load cells indication).
The correct opening position as a function of the material level in the weighing bin must be
determined during commissioning!
When the material level in the weighing bin reached the set value the activated flow control gate
will close towards to 0%. Furthermore the concerned butterfly valve will be close and the active
rotary piston blower will be switched off!
When the material level in the weighing bin reached the Max-Max level (e.g. 95% indication via
level indicator) the conveyor system would be stop immediately.
The electro pneumatic regulated flow control gates are equipped with a microprocessor
controller unit.
The power supply to the controller is 15...30V DC
The angle of rotation of the drive is set by supply of specified set point signal via 4...20mA.
This signal is accordance with 0...100% opening position of the gate. The position feedback
signal would be done via 4 ...20mA.
Note:
During switch over to the next aeration sections, the next pneumatic butterfly valves will
open first before the preceding pneumatic butterfly valves will close
The same procedure applies to flow-control gates
After a stop and than followed by a new start, the shifting register will start with the last
sequence and the remaining time period.
Silo discharge process can only start when the control air pressure switch indicates air pressure
of min. 6 bar.

Two discharge sections from the silo are in operation at the same time for best blending effects
which means two blowers are activated.
After the preset time period, the air supply and material discharge is switched over to the next
discharge sections.
The respective shifting register (e.g. via PLC) ensures an even silo discharge by switching from
two discharge sections to the next discharge sections (timer based).
If a rotary piston blower has a fault, the required air for the discharge process is delivered by
only one rotary piston blower. In this case only one discharge subsection is supplied with
aerating air at the same time.
If the discharge process takes place with only one rotary piston blower the blending effect is
inferior as the blending effect by the normal discharge process.
The respective shifting register (e.g. via PLC) ensures an even silo discharge by switching from
one discharge section to the next discharge section (timer based).
The degree of opening for the flow control gates (silo outlets) are automatically controlled and
regulated on the basis of the actual weight of the weighing bin (via load cells) The flow control
gates are equipped with transducers to indicating the current position. The information on the
current roller position is transmitted to the control panel.
The correct opening position as a function of the material level in the weighing bin must be
determined during commissioning!
Silo discharge is carried out via the currently selected open type fluidslides on the silo bottom,
the hand cut-off gates and the electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gates followed to the
weighing bin.
Silo discharge should always be started at a reduced capacity for a time period of approx. 10
sec. in order to avoid an initial gush of material.

Start up-procedure:
The shut-down process for the silo discharge takes place in the reverse sequence to start up
(included delay time between the sequences).
Normal shut-down of the process takes place, if the lagging time for emptying out the relevant
activated conveying systems is over. The filtering system switches off after an adjustable
slowing down time.
The interrupted shut-down takes place if any part has a fault, that means the preceding
equipment will stop immediately (feeder flow route) and the following equipment will take
place in the reverse sequence to start up (included delay time between the sequences the
delay time will be set during the commissioning period).
3.6 Interlocking
The filter unit and the chosen switching sequence are all interlocked.
In case of power failure the pneumatic butterfly valves and electro-pneumatic regulated flow
control gates will close automatically.

fluidslide slope : 6
Discharge takes place via the aerated bin bottom, electro-pneumatic regulated flow-control
gates, weighing system, fluidslide and bucket elevator to the preheater.
The weighing bin bottom is equipped with aeration pads in order to promote material flow
towards the outlets.
During the discharge of the weighing bin the bottom area is supplied with aerating air via a
dedicated blower.
A weighing system is used to control the raw meal flow towards the preheater. The SCHENCK
system controls the electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gate at the weighing bin outlet.
See separate documentation from SCHENCK.
Is the weighing system faulty, it is possible to use the bypass electro-pneumatic regulated flow
control gate at the weighing bin outlet.
For calibration the filling level of the weighing bin will be checked by the SCHENCK - weighing
system. If the filling level is not sufficient, the SCHENCK - weighing system demands Request
for bin filling.
Start up-procedure:
The shut-down process for preheater feeding takes place in the reverse sequence to start up
(included delay time between the sequences).
The material flow will be stopped when the kiln operation resets the start signal or central
control room resets the start signal.
The filtering system switches off after an adjustable slowing down time.
The interrupted shut-down takes place if any part has a fault, that means the preceding
equipment will stop immediately (feeder flow route) and the following equipment will take
place in the reverse sequence to start up (included delay time between the sequences the
delay time will be set during the commissioning period).
4.6 Interlocking
Dedusting filter, control air-pressure switch and chosen switching sequence are all interlocked.
In case of power failure the electro-pneumatic regulated flow control gates will close
automatically.

Under each central cone silo is an aeration pipe, which sucks off air under the area of the cone
with an axial fan and leads outside.
Fresh air will be taken in automatically through the openings (e. g. silo gate, bulk loading road
etc.).
Material can be loaded into the central cone silo with a temperature over 100 C. The heat will
be conveyed from the material to the silo body and through this arises retained heat, which
cannot be carried away under the central cone.
Through the using of the silo cone venting should be reached acceptable temperatures for the
staff and the equipment, which allows a staying resp. a trouble-free operation in this area.
The axial fan will be switched on and off independent from all other plant parts via a
temperature switch (adjustable 0 - 40 C).
5.4 Interlocking
A locking to the other plant parts does not exist except for emergency shutdown.
