'''Silo Safety Systems''' implement safety logic for the opening of the silo's safety gates. Three sensors sets per silo are located at key points along the truck passageway to detect for proper truck bed alignment. This prevents attempts to open the wrong safety gate and load out mishaps. The Silo safety systems work separately from, and with all load out silo systems. | |||
==Common Features== | |||
Relay Logic technology | |||
Integrated through beam sensors | |||
Fully Automatic with normal trucks | |||
Manual bypass for odd size trucks | |||
Gives truck drivers peace of mind | |||
Minimal maintenance | |||
==Common Advantages== | |||
===Avoid Over-pressurization=== | |||
If the air is not vented then the silo can become pressurized and most silos are not tested as pressure vessels. Indeed, only a small increase (such as 1 psi) may be sufficient to either rupture the silo or blow the filter element off the silo roof. | |||
===Avoid Over-filling=== | |||
Another common problem is over-filling the silo when either the level probe has failed or it is the wrong unit for the application. Both of these conditions necessitate the need for a silo protection system. | |||
Other advantages also include: | |||
*Avoids harm to people and damage to the silo and its accessories | |||
*Reduces risk of air pollution | |||
*Eliminates risk of filling the wrong silo | |||
*Starts and stops filter cleaning automatically | |||
*Electronic pressure meter gives indication of when the filter may need attention | |||
*Internal pressure monitoring of each silo | |||
*Maximum level indication | |||
*Reveals presence of compressed air to venting filter (if air jet filter is used) and pinch valve | |||
