Metal silos are affected by the weather conditions surrounding them. They can become damp internally from sweat on their sidewalls caused by changes in humidity and temperature. This moisture can be transferred to the material stored in the silo.
Silo dehumidifiers are not intended to dry the material stored inside the silo. Instead, they operate on the simple principle of providing a blanket of dry air in the space above the material to keep the material from picking up additional moisture while in storage.
Silo dehumidifiers are usually installed in the base of a silo and one dehumidifier may serve more than one silo.
A resin silo dehumidifier is a device used to remove moisture from the air inside a resin silo. The dehumidifier works by using a desiccant material to absorb moisture from the air.
The dehumidifier consists of a housing unit that contains the desiccant material, which is typically a silica gel or molecular sieve. The housing unit also contains a fan that circulates the air inside the silo through the desiccant material.
As the air passes through the desiccant material, the moisture in the air is absorbed by the desiccant, leaving the air dry. The dry air is then released back into the silo, helping to maintain the desired humidity level.
