The process
Cement, fly ash and flour silos are aerated through fabric at the cone to keep the material flowing. Air slide blowers supply low pressure aeration air, with bag filters on the silo vents.
The gas
Clean ambient air at site temperature. Density is close to standard and the fan is selected on efficiency and noise with no allowance for dust or corrosion.
Fans in this process
| Duty | What it does here | Type usually selected |
|---|---|---|
| Air Slide Blower | Supplies low pressure aeration air to the fabric of an air slide, fluidising cement, raw meal or gypsum so it flows down the slide.. | Backward curved and radial tipped |
| High Pressure Blower | Delivers combustion, aeration and conveying air where the system resistance runs to several thousand millimetres of water column in a single stage.. | Backward curved and radial tipped |
| Bag Filter Fan | Pulls the process gas through the filter bags and discharges the cleaned gas to the stack. | Backward curved and radial tipped |
