Introduction to Lime
Lime is an air-hard inorganic cementitious material with calcium oxide as the main component. Lime is made from limestone, dolomite, chalk, shells and other products with high calcium carbonate content, calcined at 900 to 1100℃. Lime has wide distribution of raw materials, simple production process, low cost, or an important raw material in the building materials industry. And it is suitable for the products of instrument and apparatus, medicine, clothing, electronic telecommunication, leather, textile and other industries. Many companies have a great demand for lime in their production process. Therefore, how to store lime safely has become a concern for many manufacturers.
Conditions for storing lime
Quicklime (including lump ash, lime powder) is highly absorbent and hygroscopic, it should be protected against moisture and must be stored in a dry, cool and ventilated environment. It should be stored separately from inflammable materials and acids, and should not be mixed. The storage area should be equipped with suitable materials to accommodate the leakage.
Why choose spiral spiral steel plate warehouse to store lime?
The spiral coiled edge
Steel Silo system consists of a pneumatic lime loading system, silo aeration system, lime unloading system, bulk truck loading system, bagging system, bag palletiser or truck loading system, dust collector system, PLC control system, and associated steel structures and platforms, which ensures that the lime is stored and handled in an airtight manner to avoid airborne particles and moisture contaminating the material to maintain its chemical integrity, whilst protecting the environment by preventing lime particles from contaminating the air on site. Lime is well sealed and can be stored in silos for long periods of time.
Product advantages of spiral rolled edge steel plate warehouse
Good overall performance and long life. Lime
Steel Plate Silo in the construction process, completely by special equipment construction. In the process of rolling, the outer wall of the silo body bites into a 5 times the thickness of the material, 30mm-40mm wide spiral convex strip, which greatly strengthens the bearing capacity of the silo body, so that the lime steel plate silo's overall strength, stability and seismic resistance is better than other silos. In addition, the silo material can be stored according to the material requirements for corrosion resistance and grinding strength, choose the best plate ratio, making his normal service life of 30-40 years. Far more than the service life of other silos.
Good airtight performance, wide range of uses. Lime steel plate silo due to the use of rolled silo special equipment bending, nibbling, in the process to ensure the quality of any part of the silo, so it is excellent sealing, can store lime, cement, fly ash, slag ultra-fine powder powder and other powdery materials, in the building materials industry has a wide range of applications, such as cement factories, power plants, grinding stations.
Short construction period and low cost. Spiral Lime Steel Sheet Silo is constructed on site and installed on the floor at the top of the silo.We equipped with project engineers and specialised workers to construct the silo on site. Spiral Lime Silos are rolled at the project site with high level of mechanisation, which greatly reduces the investment of labour. The spiral coiled silos are made entirely of thin steel sheets, weighing only as much as the reinforcing steel of a reinforced concrete silo of the same capacity, which greatly reduces the cost of construction. For example, a 15m diameter, 20m high, 5,000 tonne capacity spiral hemmed silo can be completed in around 7 days by the team, which enables the owner to start production more quickly.
Small footprint and easy to manage. Spiral lime steel plate silo is different from other lime steel plate silo, the height and diameter can be chosen arbitrarily in a wide range. The distance between two silos is as small as 500mm, which can make full use of space and reduce the footprint. Spiral lime steel plate silo with high degree of automation, coupled with temperature measurement, material level and other equipment, the owner is very convenient to manage.
High strength and light weight. The continuous spiral nibbling edge of the lime steel plate silo is five times thicker than the base material, which greatly strengthens the anti-loading capacity of the lime steel plate silo.The deadweight of spiral lime steel plate silo is only 1/6 of that of the concrete silo with the same volume, and the reinforcing bar weight is the same as that of the concrete silo with the same volume, which greatly reduces the load on the foundation structure and the cost of building the silo.
Precautions when storing lime
Lime should be protected from fire and explosion during storage and transport. As quicklime will mature rapidly under the action of water and release a large amount of heat, care should be taken to prevent it from burning or catching fire.
Lime shall not be stored with flammable, explosive or liquid substances to avoid fire or explosion.
Pay attention to respiratory protection when working, wear dustproof fibre overalls, gloves, closed dustproof glasses, apply grease containing oil and grease to prevent dust from entering.
