Silo tank trailers, silo tank semi-trailers

The silo tank is a kind of tanks intended for transportation and storage of different kinds of loose, granular and powdered substances.

Silo tanks are metal containers (made ​​of steel or aluminum alloys) equipped with a system of pneumatic transport of bulk cargo. Typically, the volume of such tanks is in the range of 30 to 60 cubic meters, and they are mounted on the frame of a two- or three-axle cargo trailer. The number of isolated sections varies in different models and may exceed ten. In the underbody, there are dispatch cones which move the substance to the main discharge pipeline. Unloading may be carried out both by the force of gravity (if the substance is highly flowable), and because of the air pumped by a compressor. Loading is carried out through hatches in the upper part of the tank, or (if specific model of the compressor provides this possibility) by pneumatic loading. Mechanisms controlling loading and unloading operations are usually located in a special locker on the body of the semitrailer.

The silo tank is a rather versatile vehicle, which is widely applied in various domains; for example, in agriculture they are used for storing and transporting granular feed compound, vitamin supplements, grain; in construction - cement, sand, mixtures, etc.
