How do you use Powder Tanker Trailer

The main assembly of the Powder Tanker Trailer is composed of a tank body, a power system (diesel engine, air compressor), a gas circuit system, and a brake system.

At present, the design of the fluidized bed in the tanks of general large manufacturers is scientific and the layout is reasonable, which can effectively shorten the discharge time and reach 1.4T / min.

The volume utilization rate of the tank is improved, and the residual ash rate is reduced, and the residual ash rate is 0.2%.

Power system:

Single-cylinder or double cylinder air compressor is used to provide compressed air for discharge work, the pneumatic trailers rated working pressure is 0.2Mpa; the displacement is 10-14 cubic meters/min.

Diesel engine and motor wave can be used to connect and drive through the secondary force device The shaft provides power input for the air compressor.

Tank body:

The Powder Tanker Trailer tank body is mainly composed of two oblique cones and front and rear heads. It is placed on the frame and serves as a carrier. The tank body is equipped with a feed inlet, a non-slip walking platform and a ladder for loading and maintenance personnel to enter the tank. The tank has slides, air chambers, discharge ports, etc., and the tank structure is V-shaped 40 ton cement trailer, W-shaped 30m3 bulk cement trailer or straight shape cement tanker.

The v shape cement tanker truck is a single cement tank trailers, generally suitable for designing cubic numbers of 15-45m³. The W shape 3 axles bulk cement tanker trailer is a double-storage bulk tank trailers, generally suitable for designing cubic numbers of 50-75m³.

Piping system:

Intake pipe: After the gas is output by the air compressor, it enters each cabin through the check valve and the ball valve. A safety valve is installed before and after the check valve to prevent the pipeline pressure from being too high to damage the air compressor in case of an accident. The safety valve is set to bleed pressure to 0.2Mpa.

A pressure relief valve is installed on the top of the Powder Tanker Trailer tank body to release the residual pressure in the tank, and is used for deflation before the user opens the material cover and stops discharging in the middle.

Unloading pipeline:

The discharge pipeline is mainly composed of suction port, butterfly valve, discharge steel pipe, discharge pipe joint, discharge hose, etc.

An anti-shock pressure gauge is installed on the Powder Tanker Trailer tank body to monitor the pressure change in the tank and to guide the discharge.

What is the working principle of Powder Tanker Trailer ?
Working Principle:

The Powder Tanker Trailer uses its own engine to drive the on-board air compressor, and sends compressed air through the pipeline to the air chamber at the bottom of the sealed tank, so that the cement on the fluidized bed is suspended in a fluid state. When the pressure reaches the rated value, the discharge valve is opened, and the fluidized cement is transported through the pipeline for transportation.

Design Features:

Only by the world’s most advanced manufacturing process, the design is novel, durable. The Powder Tanker Trailer air bag type has a large carrying capacity, fast discharge speed and small residual quantity. The integrated tank body has the characteristics of high overall strength, good rigidity, good pressure resistance.

The fluidized bed in the tank is scientifically designed and reasonably arranged, which can effectively shorten the discharge time to 1.4T / min, which improves the volume utilization rate of the tank and reduces the residual ash rate, which is 0.2%. The tank body of the Powder Tanker Trailer adopts a double-cone inclination horizontal structure, double-tube intake and double-barrel feeding, and its discharge speed and remaining rate meet the requirements of industry standards.

Powder Tanker Trailer structural features:
1. Frame: The overall material of the Powder Tanker Trailer frame is high-strength steel, which makes the quality more reliable. At the same time, the frame is equipped with a variety of components to ensure better adaptability and longer service life. Reinforced front and rear frames are adopted, with reasonable load distribution, strong bearing capacity and good stability.

2. Tank body: The tank body of the Powder Tanker Trailer is made of steel plate, and the welding is automatically welded by CO2 gas protection, and the welding quality is reliable. The interior of the tank adopts advanced vulcanization tank structure, double or three-chamber horizontal tank design, reasonable fluidization angle, and large internal chute angle to ensure special performance, increase effective volume, fast discharge speed, and low residual rate. There is a manhole cover and a non-slip walkway above the tank for loading, unloading and maintenance personnel to enter the tank.

3. Air pipe system: There is an air intake pipe in the front air chamber and the rear air chamber. The functions of simultaneous opening and individual control can be realized by operating the ball valve. The working principle of the air pipeline system: First, the working power of the system is provided by the gearbox of the tractor, and the transmission is used to drive the air compressor to compress the air. Then the generated compressed air enters the air chamber through the pipeline, making the powder material in the tank fluidized. The standard for unloading is that the pressure in the tank reaches 0.196Mpa.

4. External power and air compressor: bulk cement trailer for sale is equipped with an external WEICHAI 4102 diesel engine and WUHU FUDA vehicle air compressor unit to ensure sufficient air pressure when the vehicle is unloading. WUHU FUDA air compressor can adapt to dust environment and field environment, and has high reliability.
