How To Judge Whether The Unloading Of Bulk Cement Tank Trailer Is Completed
 
01/

Pressure gauge inspection method
During the unloading of bulk cement tank trailer, the air pressure in the tank is 1.82 kg/cm2. At the end of unloading, the air pressure drops rapidly. If the pressure gauge drops to 0~0.2 kg/cm2, it is proved that the cement in the tank is basically unloaded.

02/

Discharge time discrimination method
Normal bulk cement tank trailer discharging speed is usually 1 ~ 1.2 tons per minute, if cement loading weight 32 tons, it takes about half an hour finish unloading, so you can according to the material weight discharging time, 25 minutes before the operator will be more relaxed, there is no need long time to watch the pressure gauge check finish unloading or by other methods.

03/

Air compressor sound discrimination method
The normal unloading space and time load of the compressor is large, and the sound made by the air compressor when it works is relatively dull. At the end of the tank unloading, the load of the air compressor becomes smaller and the working sound becomes clear.

04/

Tank beating method
In the process of cement unloading, you can knock the tank with your hand. If there is no echo, it proves that there is more cement in the tank and it will take a while to discharge. If there is echo in the tank, it proves that the cement in the tank is nearly finished unloading.

05/

Discharge hose observation method
During normal unloading, the unloading hose is impacted by fluidized cement, and the hose keeps shaking. If the hose no longer shakes, it can also be proved that the cement in the tank is basically unloaded.

06/

Cement receiving tower top ash identification method
Normal unloading, cement consumption of gas is relatively small, "more material less gas" receiving tower top ash, later unloading "less material more gas" receiving tower top ash increase.

Detailed Structure of Bulk Cement Tank Trailer

Multiple critical components compose a bulk cement tank trailer, with each component playing a vital role in its operation.

 

Semi-Trailer Chassis: Provides the fundamental support and mobility for the tanker.

 

Tanker Assembly: A robust container that securely holds the powdery materials.

 

Pick-Up Drive System & Unloading System: These systems work together to load and unload the materials efficiently and safely.

 

Driving Device: Powers the movement and operation of the trailer.

 

Air Circuit and Control System: Essential for regulating the flow and discharge of powdery substances.

 

Accessory Devices: Various additional tools and devices enhance the functionality and safety of the tanker.

 

 

How Bulk Cement Tank Trailers Work

Bulk cement tank trailers use compressed air to transport powdery materials out of the tank. This happens through the pressure difference inside and outside the tank. When working, power is drawn from the automobile gearbox. The transmission device drives the air compressor to generate compressed air. The compressed air enters the air chamber through the control pipeline. It then enters the powder layer through the fluidized bed to fluidize the powder. After fluidization, the powder's angle of repose decreases. The fluidity increases. A liquid-like flow appears on the fluidized bed. It flows to the discharge port, achieving rapid discharge.

How To Distinguish Cement Tank Trucks From Bulk Cement Tank Trailer?
 

Loading and transportation methods
Cement tank trucks: Cement tank trucks usually use special sealed tanks for storing and transporting cement. These tanks usually have a water-tight design, which can effectively prevent the cement from getting wet or scattered during transportation. Loading and unloading of cement tankers is usually more precise as they are equipped with specialized unloading systems that ensure accurate distribution of cement.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer does not require sealed containers, and the cement is stored in bulk in transportation vehicles such as bulk ships, rail cars, or bulk trucks. This method usually requires more loading and unloading equipment, such as conveyor belts, slings or robotic arms, to load the cement into the transport vehicle, and corresponding equipment is also required for unloading. This may increase operational complexity.

 

Transportation volume and scope
Cement tank trucks: Cement tank trucks are typically used for small to medium-sized transportation tasks, such as supplying cement to construction sites, concrete mixing plants, or small projects. They are suitable where flexible, fast and accurate supply is required.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer is usually used for large-scale cement supply, such as transporting cement from cement plants to large construction sites, port projects or concrete production plants. This method is suitable for long-distance transportation needs of large quantities of cement.

 

Safety and environmental protection
Cement tank truck: Cement tank truck has a sealed tank, which can effectively prevent cement from being scattered or getting damp during transportation, thereby reducing the waste of cement and the risk of contamination. They are generally safer and more environmentally friendly.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer requires more attention to avoid cement scattering and contamination. During the unloading and loading process, cement dust is easily generated, which may pose a threat to the environment and the health of workers. Therefore, bulk cement tank trailer usually requires more environmental protection measures, such as dust suppressors and air filtration equipment.

 

The state of cement
Cement tank trucks: Cement tank trucks are typically used to transport dry cement because their tanks are sealed and designed to keep the cement in a dry state. This is important for applications where cement needs to maintain quality and flowability during transportation.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement is usually shipped in the form of bulk powder and is therefore more susceptible to moisture or caking. This may require additional measures such as humidification and dehumidification to ensure the quality of the bulk cement.

 

Transportation distance and destination
Cement tanker trucks: Cement tanker trucks are typically used for short to medium distance transportation tasks, supplying cement to construction sites or production facilities. Their loading and unloading process is relatively simple and generally does not require large-scale equipment.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer is suitable for long-distance transportation, where cement needs to be transported from production sites to dispersed large-scale construction projects or markets. This type of transportation typically requires larger equipment and infrastructure such as ports, bulk truck terminals, and bulk carriers.

 

Cost and efficiency
Cement tanker trucks: Cement tanker trucks are generally more cost-effective for small-scale transportation because they do not require large handling equipment and additional dust protection measures. This makes them an economical choice for providing cement for small projects.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer may be more economical in large-scale and long-distance transportation because they can transport large quantities of cement in bulk, reducing transportation costs.

 

Flexibility
Cement tanker trucks: Cement tanker trucks are generally more flexible, can quickly deliver cement when needed, and do not require large equipment. This is useful for applications that need to be met quickly.
Bulk cement tank trailer: Bulk cement tank trailer may require more time and resources to coordinate and prepare, and is therefore less suitable for situations where rapid supply of cement is required.
