Silo Saver Systems (Anti-Overfill System)

Silos and dust collectors are vital to production in the concrete industry, and are costly to replace or repair, when damaged. Silo Saver SystemsTM (SSSTM) were developed to minimize guessing and eliminate human error when dealing with the three (3) majors threats to silo and dust collectors. The 3 major threats are:

    • High Pressure: When blowing materials INTO the silo (filling) high pressure can become a problem. Usually pressure above 1.5 PSI can cause damage to the silo.
    • Overfilling: Overfilling a silo can damage or destroy it.
    • Broken Filter Media: Can pollute the air and cause a producer to receive a citation.

Components
Combine these three Components to fit your needs. C&W offers 28 different combination packages to choose from!


Anti-Overfill

  • Existing bin indicator monitors material level and signals when silo is full.
  • Overfill light and horn are activated and pinch valve shuts line down after a preset time, avoiding serious damage or injury.


Pressure Sensor

  • Pressure above 1.5 psi can damage your silo and dust collector.
  • Pressure Sensor detects high pressure and shuts the material flow down.
  • Pressure Switch can also send a signal to turn collector on/off.


Broken Media Filter

  • Broken filters create maintenance disasters and can cause citations to be issued.
  • Broken filter sensor uses microwave technology to detect damages and possible dangerous situations.
