Aluminia Silo
Brief:
Alumina silos, also referred to as alumina powder silos or alumina steel silos, are specialized storage solutions for alumina powder. Sprint Drives offers two primary silo types: welded steel silos and spiral silos. The alumina silo system encompasses steel silos and supporting auxiliary equipment, designed to facilitate the storage and transportation of alumina. These systems are widely employed in alumina plants, aluminum ingot factories, refractory material factories, and ceramic melting block factories.
Introduction:
Storage Material: Alumina Powder
Storage Capacity: 1,000 – 30,000 Tons
Silo Diameter: 12-36 meters
Application: Delivery, storage, big bag packaging, and bulk distribution of finished alumina in alumina plants; unpacking, unloading, and transshipment of alumina in electrolytic aluminum plants; and transporting alumina to electrolytic cells.
Silo Type: Welded Steel Silo, Spiral Sealing Steel Silo
Silo Bottom Type: Flat Bottom, Cone Bottom
Alumina Silo System: Belt conveyors, silo top distributors, air chutes, bucket elevators, pneumatic lift pumps, silo conveying pumps, silo bottom gasification discharge systems, dust removal systems, big bag packing machines, bulk packing machines, etc.
As a leading steel silo system solution provider with wealth of experience, Sprint Drives offers tailored EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) services to meet the unique functional needs, site and climate conditions, and investment plans of each client’s project.

Details: Advantages of Sprint Drives Alumina Storage Silos:
Low Initial Investment: The patented technologies employed in these silos reduce building material usage by approximately 50% and land acquisition requirements by over 60%, enabling clients to quickly commission the facility and recoup their investment.
Rapid Construction: These silos can be constructed quickly, allowing clients to put the facility into use and start generating revenue sooner.
Excellent Airtightness: Employing patented vacuum sealing technology, these silos maintain the physical properties of alumina for extended storage periods.
Long Service Life: With proper maintenance, service life can extend to 30-50 years.
Energy Efficiency and Environmental Friendliness: The patented dust removal technology used in the alumina feeding and discharging process minimizes environmental pollution.
Lightweight Construction: The silo’s lightweight design significantly reduces the load and cost of the foundation structure.

Precautions for Storing Alumina in Steel Silos
High Flowability: Alumina powder exhibits superior flowability compared to traditional storage materials. This translates to a greater hoop force exerted on the silo’s bottom, necessitating a higher rigidity steel plate for optimal structural integrity. Sprint Drives addresses this by utilizing appropriately specified steel plates in our silo construction.
Segregation Prevention: During alumina transportation and storage, segregation can occur due to natural settling patterns, potentially impacting the electrolytic cell process. To mitigate this, Sprint Drives incorporates top distribution devices within the alumina silo roof. These devices ensure a more uniform distribution of alumina, minimizing the segregation effect.
Level Monitoring: Maintaining optimal operational efficiency requires close monitoring of alumina levels within the storage silos before they are used in the smelting process. Sprint Drives offers integrated level monitoring systems to ensure informed decision-making throughout the storage and utilization of alumina.
Unloading Efficiency: Extended storage can lead to compaction and blockage of alumina at the silo’s bottom, hindering smooth discharge. Sprint Drives leverages its extensive experience in alumina silo design and operation to implement strategies that guarantee an unloading rate exceeding 95%. This ensures consistent and reliable flow of alumina when needed
