The conveyor complete with material opening and closing valve, connected to the Storm Plus via two hoses for compressed air, must be installed at the base of the silo. A third hose connects the Storm Plus to the silo for pressurization.
The blower hood complete with filter and level probe must be installed in the continuous cycle pump or mixer. The hoses equipped with quick couplings necessary for the transport of the material is connected by the conveyor under the silo to the blower hood installed on the pump / mixer. The level probe is connected to the Storm Plus through the electrical cable complete with plugs.
The sealed silo, where the premixed is contained, is pressurized up to about 1.8 bar. When the pump / mixer hopper is empty, the probe starts the compressor and opens the pneumatic valve, starting the transport of material. When the pump / mixer hopper is full, the probe closes the pneumatic valve, interrupting the material flow. After waiting for the hoses to be completely empty of material, it switches off the compressor and waits for the next load.
Storm Plus automatically monitors and restores the silo’s internal pressure. To avoid clogging of the hoses, the air flow during the pump / mixer loading must always remain constant until the hoses are completely emptied. In the event of an electrical blackout during loading, the air flow would stop when the hoses are full of material. Storm Plus is equipped with an automatic emptying device for the hoses by recovering the air contained in the silo, which safely avoids the inconvenience.At the end of the work it does not require cleaning. It will be sufficient to close the main valve of the silo and turn off the main switch in the control panel.
