Dust-Free Container Loading System

The process of filling containers using a siloadmaxX mobile system is based on the concept of pneumatic conveying. Dry powder bulk material is conveyed into a receiving container fitted with a liner through a telescoping pipe built into the siloadmaxX system. As the bulk material is loaded into the container, the conveying air and dust particles are drawn into an integrated filter receiver through the gap between the outer telescoping pipe and the inner conveying pipe. A rotary valve under the filter receiver discharges the dust back into the conveying cycle.

The entire transfer process is a completely enclosed conveying system to prevent the release of dust into the environment. The conveying air needed for operation is supplied by an integrated blower when silos are being unloaded and by the truck compressor when material is being conveyed directly from a truck.
