Cfmi Silo - Steel Cone Material, Sector-by-sector Aeration | Reliability, Low Power Consumption, Full Emptying

FLSmidth has developed the CFMI storage silo for cement and related products based on the experience gained with the CF (Controlled Flow) raw meal blending and storage silo and with the CFS (Controlled Flow Storage) storage silo.

The keyword in the design of the CFMI silo is reliability. The challenge facing the designer of a storage silo is to ensure that the silo empties 100%, while keeping the specific power consumption at a minimum.

The CFMI silo meets the challenge in the following way:

The specific power consumption is kept low by aerating the silo sector by sector.

Each compartment is designed so that a large part of the material is kept in motion during extraction. This is ensured by having a steel cone in the central compartment and a number of outlets in the ring compartment(s).
