Overview
The homogenizing silo is mainly composed of: motor wheel, motor, barrel body, screw, discharge port, material cleaning port, pulley, observation window, man ladder, inlet, electrical box, cyclic blanking port, feeding port and other components.It is mainly used for raw material mixing. The inner lining of the tray adopts polypropylene board or stainless steel plate, so it is not easy to stick materials. This industrial homogenizing silo with anti-sticking design effectively improves production efficiency.The homogenizing silo is wear-resistant. Equipped with a cycloidal pinwheel reducer, it has the characteristics of compact structure, convenient operation, uniform mixing, and easy discharge and transportation. This high-performance homogenizing silo is suitable for long-term continuous production.It is widely used in plastic dyeing, plastic granulation, color masterbatch manufacturing, pelletizing, plastic modification, pipe, sheet, recycled material recycling processing, large-scale injection molding, chemical industry, food and other industries. This multi-industry applicable homogenizing silo meets the mixing needs of different production scenarios.
In industrial powder production, due to changes in powder properties or production process parameters caused by raw materials or upstream equipment, there will be a certain range of differences in various indicators among products of different batches.In order to stabilize product quality and eliminate the impact on subsequent processes, many powder processes must be equipped with large-scale powder mixing homogenizing silos to make various indicators of powder finished products in different batches uniform and stable. This large-scale powder homogenizing silo is a key equipment to ensure stable product quality.Then, the large-scale powder mixing homogenizing silo is also widely used in material batching and mixing of different industries and different types.According to the different ways of energy supply, the mixing and homogenizing forms can be divided into three types: gravity type, mechanical type and pneumatic type.The choice of powder mixing and homogenizing method mainly depends on the material properties and working conditions. Our professional team can recommend the most suitable powder homogenizing solution according to your specific needs.After years of research and development for different industries, different materials and different working conditions, our company has developed a large-scale powder mixing homogenizing silo, a new type of powder mixing homogenizing silo that integrates three kinds of kinetic energy: gravity, mechanical and pneumatic. This integrated kinetic energy homogenizing silo has better mixing effect and adaptability.
Working principle of Homogenizing Silo:
The rapid rotation of the screw lifts the raw materials from the center of the bottom of the barrel to the top, then scatters them in an umbrella shape and returns to the bottom. In this way, the raw materials are rolled up and down and stirred in the silo, and a large amount of raw materials can be uniformly mixed in a short time. The efficient mixing homogenizing silo realizes rapid and uniform mixing of raw materials.
Main structure of Continuous Homogenizing Silo:
Frame part: All working parts of the machine are installed and fixed on the frame. The frame of the machine is made of high-quality carbon steel plates and channel steel by welding, and has met the purpose of the machine through strict product qualification verification and specific process requirements. The durable frame homogenizing silo ensures stable operation of the equipment.
Transmission connection part: The machine uses a cycloidal pinwheel reducer to drive the main shaft to rotate. The working part of the main machine uses nylon pin as the transmission connector to engage teeth and transmit drive, which is convenient for assembly and maintenance. The easy-maintenance homogenizing silo reduces equipment maintenance costs.
Mixing working part: The transmission wheel transmits power to the main shaft through the pin coupling. It turns the materials evenly in the silo to ensure full mixing of the materials, thus greatly reducing the residual amount of materials. The low material residue homogenizing silo improves raw material utilization rate.

Maintenance of Powder Mixing Homogenizing Silo:
- After each shift (use) of the equipment, 5S treatment must be carried out on the inside and outside of the equipment and the surrounding site.
- Inspect the rotation of the equipment's agitator (balance and friction) every month. Regular maintenance of the homogenizing silo extends its service life.
- The machine should be placed in a ventilated position to ensure the heat dissipation of the motor and extend the service life of the motor.
- Regularly check whether the belt is loose, and move the motor outward until the belt is tight.
