Silos can store bulk cement in large quantities and thus will ensure optimum capacity running of the concrete batching plant .
Silos protect the cement from early setting as water or moisture cannot enter into the vessel
Silos are connected to hoppers that will empty cement of required weight . This is important to produce desired quality of concrete.
Many silos have provisions to keep cement always warm.
In comparison with use of bagged cement , coupling the silo with the batcher eliminates lots of manpower.
Less manual intervention means less errors , less rework, less accidents and many.
