摘要: A dry bulk cement storage and mixing system comprises one or more generally cylindrical tanks bins having somewhat wedge shaped bottom discharge sections with tapered flight conveyor screws extending across the diameter of bin at convergence opposed sloping sidewalls section. The screw is connected to a pneumatic fluidizing plenum wherein compressed air introduced into for conveying material mixer recirculating back selected tank through distributor device mounted on top which distributes minimize segregation smaller less dense particles during tank. One embodiment rotation about horizontal axis includes transversely unloading vent conduit within chamber. Cement stored may be sampled by an elongated tube sealable fitting withdrawing samples analysis mixture
