(Based on standard industry practices)
1. Pre-Operation Inspection
Vehicle Check: Ensure the tractor and semi-trailer are properly coupled, brakes/tires/lights functional, and no structural damage exists.
Pneumatic System: Verify air compressor, hoses, and pressure gauges (typically 0.2–0.4 MPa) are leak-free.
Loading Hatch: Confirm all hatches/seals are closed tightly to prevent dust leakage.
2. Loading Procedure
Connect to Silo: Align the trailer's loading pipe with the cement silo outlet; secure with clamps.
Start Airflow: Engage the compressor to fluidize cement (if pneumatic loading is used).
Monitor Fill Level: Stop loading when reaching 90–95% capacity (allowing expansion space).
3. Transport & Safety
Secure Load: Ensure valves/pipes are locked; avoid sudden braking or sharp turns.
Dust Control: Keep dust collection system (e.g., filter vents) operational during transit.
4. Unloading Process
Connect to Receiving Silo: Attach discharge hose to the customer's inlet pipe.
Pressurize Tank: Use compressed air (0.3–0.5 MPa) to fluidize cement for smooth flow.
Residual Cleanup: Blow residual cement out with air; inspect for complete emptying.
5. Post-Operation
Clean Equipment: Clear pipes/tank of cement buildup to prevent hardening.
Maintenance Log: Record any issues (e.g., air leaks) for timely repairs.
Key Notes:
Always wear PPE (mask/goggles) during loading/unloading.
Follow local regulations for transporting hazardous materials (if applicable).
