help Schenck Process Silo FAQ
Is a Schenck Process silo a standalone storage vessel or part of a dosing system?
Schenck Process typically integrates storage with equipment for feeding, weighing, pneumatic conveying and process control. The exact silo is therefore engineered around the material and downstream production line rather than sold as one universal model.
Can Schenck Process equipment weigh material while it leaves the silo?
Yes, a system can use weigh feeders, loss-in-weight feeders or weighing vessels to meter bulk solids into the next process. The appropriate method depends on the required accuracy, feed rate and whether the material flows consistently.
What materials can a Schenck Process silo system handle?
Its bulk-handling systems are used for powders, granules and other dry materials in industries such as cement, chemicals, food and plastics. Material tests are important because cohesive powders and free-flowing pellets need different outlets, feeders and dust controls.
What should be checked when a Schenck Process silo stops feeding evenly?
Operators should inspect for bridging, rat-holing, blocked filters, feeder calibration problems and changes in bulk density. Service work should follow the exact Schenck Process manual because a pressurized conveying line or suspended load can create serious hazards.
