Dust collection silo designs by SAF Teknik for safe dust storage

When large quantities of dust are separated from process air, a dedicated dust collection silo becomes the most practical way to handle and store this material. SAF Teknik develops dust collection silo solutions that work hand in hand with filters and conveying systems, ensuring safe and organized dust management.

A dust collection silo engineered by SAF Teknik is designed according to the properties of the dust and the needs of the process. Important aspects include bulk density, flow behaviour, hazard classification and required storage volume. The result is a silo that fills and empties reliably without unexpected blockages or overfilling.

Typical features of SAF Teknik dust collection silo systems are:

• Level monitoring devices for continuous status feedback
   
• Explosion vents or other safety devices where required
   
• Controlled discharge via rotary valves or screw conveyors
   
• Access platforms and inspection points for safe maintenance
   

By using a dedicated dust collection silo, plants can centralize dust handling, reduce manual intervention and improve housekeeping significantly. Dust remains contained within a closed system, minimizing the risk of environmental pollution and improving worker safety.

SAF Teknik combines its knowledge of dust collection, conveying and storage technology to create integrated systems. In such systems, the dust collection silo is not an isolated component but an essential part of a complete dust management strategy.
