Technical characteristics
Two bolted upright silos of 12 500 mm diameter and 1980 m3 capacity have been installed. Each silo has a fluidised 53˚ cone, activated by a shared 600 m3/h air blower to keep the cement aerated, and discharge onto a Ø 457 mm screw conveyor, with a capacity of 150 tph. Both conveyors are then connected to a dedusted loading spout and placed above an overground weighbridge.
Another important aspect to consider during the design phase was related to the challenging weather of the Faroe Islands; every electrical component had to be properly housed in a minimum of IP65 panels/junction boxes in order to preserve them from the combination of wind, rain and seawater.
