The equipment consists of:
- an electronic control panel
- one power panel per silo
- a differential pressure switch c/w a spigot for installation
- a pinch valve
- a pneumatic control and maintenance kit for the pinch valve
- an audible alarm
- a rotary ILT-type level indicator
- a filling pipe/tanker coupling connection module c/w with loose fitting flanges for the filling pipe
To complete the system a WAM® Dust Collector and a WAM® Pressure Relief Valve are required.
Advantages and innovative features
- Avoids damage to the silo and its accessories caused by excessive air volumes when purging tankers (standards UNI-ISO 8456, § 5211 and 5312) or by overfilling
- Reduces risk of pollution caused by dust emission
- Eliminates risk of filling wrong silo and of contamination of stored material
- Automatically starts and stops dust collector
- By monitoring the pressure gauge, indicates when dust collector may need attention
- Through central control panel (often installed in the control room), using the TEST button it is possible to check
- Internal pressure of any silo
- Which silos are full
- Whether compressed air is being utilised in the dust collector or in the pinch valve
