Ground Level Testing
Testing is an essential part of a maintenance programme. Still, it has often been ignored by staff as it is time consuming, or it has not been practical in the past to test properly.

Dust Filters & Venting
Hycontrol's Hyvent dust collector and filter unit is specifically designed to vent silos during the filling process without allowing the valuable powdered product to escape. Product is filtered from the air during both the conveying period and the final air surge. The filter is self-maintaining, returning the product into the silo via an automatic reverse-jet pulse cleaning system which utilises compressed air.

Safety Alerts
SAFETY BRIEFING 1: Pressure relief valve near-miss event. Ready-mix, concrete and block works have silos on-site that are pneumatically filled from road tankers. Many of the sites have silos fitted with pressure relief valves as their only protection from over-pressure. The photographs show how they can be rendered completely ineffective by constant use and poor maintenance. Pressure relief valves are continuously relieving pressure without the reason being investigated or the cause eliminated. The road tankers are capable of blowing product into the silos at pressures as high as 2 bar.

Silo Servicing
Effective silo servicing routines, previously published in guidance notes from DEFRA and the MPA (Mineral Products Association), state the necessity of checking and testing all critical protection components. These checks include the pressure relief valve (PRV), pressure sensor, filter and the ultimate high-level sensor: all essential for maintaining a healthy and reliable silo safety system.
