Silo Safety System
KCS
Safety for people and the environment
Damage to a silo or its accessories is most likely during filling operation from the tanker due to the risk of overfilling or excess pressurisation. The KCS system prevents both overfilling and excess pressurisation avoiding damage to silo, venting filter and other accessories. It also reduces the risk of dust emission into the atmosphere.
The KCS Silo Safety System for the safeguarding of silos consists of a central electronic monitoring and control panel which manages a series of silos and a component kit including, in the basic version, one power panel for each silo, a silo pipe connection, a pinch valve, a tanker coupling to the filling pipe, a maximum level indicator, a differential pressure switch or electronic pressure meter, a pressure gauge for the venting filter, a pressure relief valve, and an audible alarm.
The KCS silo overfill protection system can be used for silos that are pneumatically filled with bulk materials in powder or granulate form by silo vehicles.
The risk of damage to the silo is greatest during filling by the silo vehicle due to overfilling or excessive injection pressure. The KCS silo overfill protection, which is supplied in individual components, prevents overfilling as well as the development of overpressure in the silo and thus protects the silo, dedusting filter and all other silo components from damage and the environment from dust emissions.
Silos that are pneumatically filled with powdery substances are prone to overfilling. The resultant damage to the silo and its filter system as well as the consequential environmental pollution can lead to considerable cost, not to mention inherent damage to the operators.
The BS Overfill Security Sytem (a modular system) can be adjusted according to customers’ individual requirements. This offers varied possibilities for future extensions.
Basic unit:
Consists of a pinch valve with a solenoid valve, level probe, switchbox with warning light (filling in process/silo filled) and horn.
Supplementary unit # 1:
Fully automatic filter control system for mechanically cleaned filter (STAFI): Consists of a locking device plus corresponding control unit. The filter is cleaned for approx. 30 seconds before and after every coupling with a vehicle. During this time the pinch valve remains closed thus preventing the escape of dust particles.
Supplementary unit # 2:
Final surge limitation for mechanically cleaned filter: The pressure in the silo is supervised by a push-button switch. If the pressure in the silo gets too high during the filling, the pinch valve closes, which is indicated by a light. Afterwards it reopens.
Supplementary unit # 2a:
Final surge limitation for a pneumatic filter: The pressure in the silo is supervised by a push-button switch. If the pressure in the silo gets too high, the pinch valve closes for about 30 seconds to allow the filter a cleaning period. Afterwards it reopens.
Supplementary unit # 3:
Shows position of the pinch valve. The actual position of the pinch valve is displayed in the switchbox by means of a push-button switch. Simultaneously a defective rubber gasket can be recognised.
Supplementary unit # 3a:
Only in combination with supplementary unit # 3. Malfunction notification of defective rubber gasket in the pinch valve and of defective solenoid valve.
Supplementary unit # 4:
Security supervision by loss of air pressure: The air pressure in the supply line is supervised by a push-button switch. In case of air pressure decrease in the system, the pinch valve closes by means of a pressure accumulator. The fault is indicated in the switchbox.
Supplementary unit # 5:
Filling level control. The filling level is supervised in the accurately measured by means of a capacitive or a microwave-guided level indicator with a probe or the "weigh out" of the silo. The actual silo filling level is shown in a display unit. Caution: not for permanent maximum level control.

PTL Hermann GmbH develops and manufactures vibration type level switches for detecting the presence or absence of powdered or granular solids that are stored in all kinds of silos, hoppers and containers. The products get distributed worldwide.
Principle of operation:
a vibrating system gets forced to vibrate on its resonance frequency by a piezo crystal drive. If filling material, (bulk solids), covers the vibrating blade of the probe, its vibration gets damped. This is sensed by the electronic circuit and the output switches. When the blade gets uncovered due to declining level, the instrument restarts to vibrate and the output switches back.
Product Overview
LEVELSWITCH CV120 / CV130 / CV140 / CV150
Vibrating level switch for all kinds of powdered and granular solids. Applicable for heavy materials like cement as well as for light materials with densities down to 20 grams/litre. Grain size from powder to max. 40mm. Process connection 11/2", insertion lengths 172mm up to 20m.
STOCKTROL CV210 / CV310 / CV410 / CV510

CV600/CV660
Low-Cost vibrating level switches for grained and granular solids with minimum densities of 20 grams/litre (CV660: 50 grams/litre) and max. grain sizes of 10mm. Process connection 1", insertion length 157mm
SHT 120/130/140
Vibrating level switch for powdered and granular solids with high process temperatures up to 250°C. Process connection 11/2", insertion lengths 184mm up to 4m.
The instruments can be used for overfill protection, for high or low level alarm and in a special configuration for the detection of interfaces, e.g. sand that has settled in water (special model SEDIMENT).
The unique, patented single rod designs of our instruments make them work perfectly and reliably even at critical applications where conventional products cause problems due to bridge building, material build-up or rat holing.
