Aeration is a critical practice in industries that handle finely ground, powdery substances such as cement, raw meal, and lime. By introducing air into silos, these materials can be fluidized to enhance their flow from storage spaces. However, this process requires careful consideration of various factors, including the slope of the silo bottom, the pressure of the aeration air, and the potential for material caking. Explore the intricacies of silo aeration, common challenges, and the importance of engineering analyses to ensure safe and efficient material reclaim.
