Custom Metal Vacuum Storage Tanks for Dry Powder Storage Systems
Custom Metal Vacuum Storage Tanks for Dry Powder Storage Systems
This dry powder storage tank features a combination of a vertical cylinder and a conical hopper. It consists of an upper cylindrical storage chamber, a lower conical discharge chamber, support legs, and a top connection assembly.
The top of the tank is equipped with a manhole, a vacuum port, and a piping inlet to facilitate material feeding, equipment inspection, and internal pressure regulation. An inspection port on the side allows for monitoring the condition of the material inside; the conical hopper design at the bottom helps concentrate the powder and ensure smooth discharge, minimizing material residue.

FAQ
Q1: What connections are located on the top of the storage tank?
A1: It is equipped with a manhole, a vacuum port, a feed port, and flanges.
Q2: What is the purpose of the top vacuum port in the storage tank?
A2: It connects to a vacuum system to create negative pressure inside the tank, ensuring stable powder conveyance.
Q3: What is the purpose of the side viewing port on the storage tank?
A3: It allows for a visual check of the powder level inside the tank without opening the manhole, simplifying routine inspections.
Q4: How can pressure cycle fatigue cracks be prevented in welded gas storage tanks?
A4: Segmented welding control combined with a stress-relief structure optimizes the heat-affected zone of the weld and alleviates fatigue stress concentration.
Q5: How can localized bulging and deformation of the tank be prevented during high-pressure inflation and deflation?
A5: Optimize the cylinder wall thickness and add reinforcing rings in high-stress areas to balance pressure and distribute stress evenly.
Q6: How can safety margins be ensured for air storage tanks under overpressure conditions?
A6: Incorporate structural safety margins and optimize pressure relief channels to maintain tank integrity and reduce the risk of rupture.
