Real-World Truckload Capacity
Batch plant operators typically measure silo capacity in truckloads rather than cubic feet.
Based on field experience from operators running identical units, this cement silo comfortably holds 8–9 standard pneumatic tanker loads of cement or fly ash while maintaining appropriate working headroom.
Actual capacity will vary based on material density and fluff factor. Ten full tanker loads would bring material level very near the top with minimal air space, so 8–9 loads represents a practical operating range.

WAM Rotary Vane Airlock Feeder

Motor installed
