'''Silo Valves''' are used to protect bins and silos from overpressure and underpressure damage. Underpressure collapse of a silo may occur if a column of material that has hung up in the silo suddenly dislodges and slides down creating a vacuum above the material. For the prevention of overpressure damage the valve would typically be fitted to [[Bins]] and [[Silos]] that are fed by a pneumatic conveying line or fed from a bulk tanker. Optional weather cowls are supplied for outdoor applications. A rubber seal on both flaps ensures an air tight seal. | |||

Silo Valves are used to protect bins and silos from overpressure and underpressure damage. Underpressure collapse of a silo may occur if a column of material that has hung up in the silo suddenly dislodges and slides down creating a vacuum above the material. For the prevention of overpressure damage the valve would typically be fitted to Bins and Silos that are fed by a pneumatic conveying line or fed from a bulk tanker. Optional weather cowls are supplied for outdoor applications. A rubber seal on both flaps ensures an air tight seal.
Features
- Complete discharge of materials with mass flow
