The SILOBOSS™ silo vent dust collector is a high-performance filtration system designed for cement silos and bulk material storage tanks. Installed directly on the silo roof, the collector filters dusty air generated during pneumatic filling operations while allowing clean air to vent safely to the atmosphere.

With an airflow capacity of 3000 CFM, the stainless steel construction and pulse-jet cleaning system ensure reliable dust control in demanding environments such as concrete batching plants and powder handling facilities.

Applications

• Typical Applications

  The SILOBOSS silo vent dust collector is commonly used in:

  • Cement silos in concrete batching plants

  • Fly ash storage silos

  • Grain and flour storage silos

  • Powder and bulk material storage systems

  These systems prevent dust emissions and protect both workers and equipment.

  How a Silo Vent Dust Collector Works

  When bulk materials such as cement are pneumatically conveyed into a silo, large volumes of air must escape from the vessel. A silo vent dust collector filters this air by trapping dust particles on high-efficiency filter elements while allowing clean air to exit the system.

  The pulse-jet cleaning system periodically removes accumulated dust from the filters, maintaining consistent airflow and filtration performance.

• FAQ

  What is a silo vent dust collector?
  A silo vent dust collector is a filtration unit installed on top of storage silos to capture dust generated during material filling operations.

  Why do cement silos need a dust collector?
  During pneumatic filling, large volumes of dusty air are displaced. A dust collector prevents this dust from escaping into the environment.

  What airflow capacity is required for a silo dust collector?
  The required airflow depends on the silo filling rate and pneumatic conveying system. Units such as the SILOBOSS can handle up to 3000 CFM.
