What is Cement Bulker

What is cement bulker?

Cement bulker as known as cement trailer, bulker truck. The transport medium of this type of special vehicle is bulk materials with a specific gravity of not more than 1.8, no chemical reaction, and a particle diameter of not more than 0.1mm, such as bulk cement, powder Coal ash, ore powder, etc., general cement warehouses, dry-mixed mortar stations, large-scale construction sites and other places will use powdered material transport vehicles. Its use saves a lot of packaging materials and labor, and its development prospects are very broad.

Cement bulker truck is composed of two parts: chassis and top loading. The top loading part includes transmission system, tank body, piping system, and accessory devices.

The tank body is mainly composed of a cylinder, a feeding port, a fluidized bed, a discharge pipe assembly, a cleaning port, an air inlet pipe and other accessories. The tank is made of 5mm high-quality steel plate, and both ends adopt 6mm thick standard elliptical heads, which are firmly welded and have the characteristics of high overall strength, good rigidity, good pressure bearing, and good performance.

The transmission system of Cement bulker is mainly composed of power take-off, transmission shaft, air compressor, etc.

The unloading pipeline is mainly composed of the suction port, butterfly valve, unloading steel pipe, unloading pipe joint, unloading hose, etc. The tank body is equipped with a pressure-vibration pressure gauge to monitor the pressure change in the tank to guide the unloading. material.

Cement is a rigid construction material, but whether it is in bags or in bulk, the production cost of cement is lower;

There are two ways to transport cement. One is to transport bagged cement, load the bagged cement on the trailer, and then transport it. This method is relatively high in labor costs, vehicle costs are low, and work efficiency is low.

Another export method is bulk cement transportation. This transportation method is to directly transport the cement to the tank, and then transport it to the construction site and other places through the cement bulker. This method has low labor cost and is basically a process operation. The advantage is that the transportation speed is fast and the transportation quantity is large. The disadvantage is that the vehicle cost is high.

 

What is material fluidization

When the gas enters the powder layer from the lower part of the container, if the gas flow rate exceeds a certain value, the friction between the gas and the material is equal to the weight of the powder and the powder is no longer supported by the fluidized bed, and it can be free at this time Flow, from high to low, keeping the upper plane of the powder layer level, which is similar to the nature of liquid. At this time, if the side wall of the container is empty, the powder can also be sprayed out of the hole, which is the material flow state 化.

 

Precautions for cement transportation

1. Moisture-proof. Cement will condense when exposed to water, so it must be waterproof and moisture-proof during transportation.

2. Safety. Depending on the project, the location of the concrete mixing plant is usually in a complex road environment, so transportation safety must be paid attention to.
