Lime silo and limestone silo is widely used during the lime production line. Most of the equipment of the lime production line can’t be normally operated without a lime storage silo. Especially for the automatic production of limestone, the lime silo is fully needed. The main features of a lime silo are as follows:
- Moisture protection.
- Better dust control.
- Continuous automatic feeding.
- Stable discharge without blockage.
- Lower labor costs.
- Improved environmental compliance.
- Customized storage capacity from 200T to more than 50,000T.

Main Components of Lime Silo System
A complete lime silo system includes much more than just the silo body. There are also some other important components, these components ensure stable storage, smooth discharge, and dust-free operation.
Main Components
- Silo body: Stores lime powder safely and efficiently.
- Top dust collector (bag filter): Captures dust during material loading to ensure dust-free operation.
- Screw conveyor : Conveys lime powder from the feeding point to the lime silo.
- Rotary airlock valve: Discharges material evenly and continuously.
- Air cannon: Prevents material bridging and ensures smooth discharge.
- Vibrating device: Helps material flow more smoothly.
- Arch breaker: Breaks material arches and prevents blockage.
- Level indicator: Monitors the material level inside the silo in real time.
- Pressure relief valve: Releases excess pressure and ensures safe operation.
- Weighing system: Measures and controls discharge accurately.
- Pneumatic conveying system: Transports lime powder to the next process.
- PLC automatic control system: Automatically controls the whole system for stable and efficient operation.
Note: This component is just an example, we customize various lime storage silos according to the real situation.

FAQ about Lime Silo
During material feeding, a large amount of dust is generated. The top bag filter captures dust and prevents air pollution while maintaining system pressure balance.
A lime silo is usually used for storing quicklime or hydrated lime powder, while a limestone silo is mainly used for storing limestone powder or ground calcium carbonate. The design principles are similar, but material properties may require different discharge systems.
Hydrated lime easily absorbs moisture and forms bridges. Air cannons, vibrators, and special cone designs are commonly used to solve this problem.
The required silo size depends on your production capacity, daily consumption, and project design. Common capacities range from 20T to 500T, while large industrial projects may require 1000T+ silos.
