Pneumatic Conveying and High Flow Air System

Silo Blower Machine

Silo Blower machines are typically used in pneumatic conveying systems and basically serve to transport materials (powder, granules, grains, etc.) from one place to another by generating air or gas flow.

Pneumatic Conveying: Silo blowers are used to transport light-density materials such as flour, bran, semolina, cement, grain and similar bulk materials horizontally or vertically from one silo to another point or inside the silo by creating a high-flow air stream.

Compressed Air Requirement: Providing air supply in industrial processes requiring high volume (flow) air at low or medium pressure.

These systems are critical for silo filling or emptying operations and significantly increase production efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions and answers about Silo Blower Machine

How does a silo blower / blower machine work?+
The silo blower operates on the pneumatic conveying principle; it transports powder or granule materials to silos and storage units via pipe lines with high-pressure air. Both pressure and vacuum systems are available.
What distances can it transport materials?+
Depending on the system and pressure capacity, materials can be transported up to 200 metres horizontally and 50 metres vertically. Since the required pressure increases as transport distance increases, engineering calculation is recommended.
What is the energy consumption and operating cost?+
Silo blower systems have lower maintenance costs as they contain fewer moving parts compared to mechanical conveyors. Energy consumption depends on capacity and distance, and Botex System offers energy efficiency optimisation services.
Is it safe for explosive or abrasive materials?+
Our ATEX-certified systems are suitable for explosive-risk dusts. Special linings and high-resistance pipe options are available for abrasive materials. Safety analysis is conducted for each project.
What should be done in case of blockage?+
Our modern systems are equipped with automatic blockage detection sensors. In case of blockage, the system gives an alarm and warns the operator. Cleaning hatches are strategically positioned for manual intervention.
