Silo overfilling safety system
Damage to a silo or its accessories often occurs during the filling operation from the tanker, due to risks of overfilling or excess pressurization. This situation can lead to structural damage and significant environmental hazards due to dust emissions.
Prevent overfilling and pressurization
The KCS Silo Safety System from WAMGROUP is designed to prevent overfilling and excess pressurization in silos filled with powders or granular materials from tankers. The system comprises a central electronic monitoring and control panel that manages multiple silos simultaneously. Supplied in component form, it includes a power panel, pinch valve, tanker coupling to the filling pipe, maximum level indicator, differential pressure switch or electronic pressure meter, pressure gauge for the venting filter, pressure relief valve, and audible alarm. The system automatically starts and stops filter cleaning, monitors internal pressure, and provides maximum level indication. By reducing dust emissions and preventing damage to the silo and accessories, it enhances both operational safety and environmental compliance. Specific industries that benefit include ready-mix concrete production, feed and food processing, plastics, chemicals, and heavy industries.
