What is a Cement Tanker Trailer

Many people are asking me what is cement tanker trailer. As a professional cement trailer Manufacturer, today we invited our engineer Zac to give you a professional explanation.

What is cement tanker trailer?

The cement trailer is used to transport bulk cement, improving transportation efficiency and protecting the environment. The most commonly used places include cement plants, cement warehouses, large construction sites, etc. It can save a lot of packaging materials and loading and unloading labor, thus saving costs.

The cement tanker trailer is known as a cement tanker, cement trailer or cement bulker semi-trailer.ย It consists of a specific vehicle chassis, a bulk cement truck tank, an air pipeline system, an automatic unloading device, and other components.

The bulk cement trailer’s working principle

Unloading: We use the engine equipped on the bulk cement trailer or borrow the main machine to drive the air compressor through the power take-off driveshaft or pulley. The air compressor reaches the momentum of the cement tanker trailer through the sealed pipeline.

When the cement trailer pressure reaches 0.2Mpa, the unloading butterfly valve on the dry bulk cement trailer can be opened so that the powdery material can be unloaded directly to the place needed through the unloading system’s pipeline. (More about How Does Cement Tanker Trailer Work)

How to load cement tanker?

  • 1. Before loading cement on the cement trailer, we must first open the exhaust valve to ensure that the air in the tank has been removed to prevent accidents.
  • 2. We should open the manhole cover, place the filter, and then load cement or other dry powder materials with a diameter of not more than 0.1mm through the manhole cover.
  • 3. After loading, wipe off the cement on the sealing ring and close the manhole cover tightly.
  • 4. In the end, the exhaust valve should be closed, and check that the butterfly valve discharge valve is closed to avoid loss during transportation.

How to unload the cement tanker trailer safely?

1. First, the discharge pipe should be connected first. When the discharge pipe is connected, the seal ring should be closed; the inlet and outlet valves of the front and rear air chambers should be opened first, then the valves are closed: the pressure relief ball valve, External air source ball valve, secondary air ball valve, discharge butterfly valve.

2. Start the engine, be sure to start smoothly, then the air compressor starts smoothly, gradually increase the throttle so that the air compressor can reach the rated speed, thus inflating the tank.

3. When the pressure rises to 0.15Mpa, the secondary air ball valve is opened to clear the discharge pipe, and it is determined that the discharge pipe is not blocked, and the secondary air ball valve can be closed.

4. When the pressure is 0.2Mpa, the discharge butterfly valve should be opened to start unloading.

5. Close the front air chamber into the balloon valve, only let the rear air chamber intake, and observe the pressure gauge. If the pressure gauge rises, it means that it is not unloaded. When the pressure rises to 0.02Mpa, the pressure will not drop at this time.

6. It shows that the rear part has been unloaded. If the pressure value does not rise, it indicates that the back part has been emptied. When it is determined that the rear leg is unloaded, the front air chamber is then opened into the balloon valve. The same principle is the same as the posterior air chamber.

7. The final step is to confirm that there is no residual material in the front and rear air chambers, then the engine can be shut down, the air compressor can be closed, the pressure relief ball valve can be opened, the discharge butterfly valve can be closed, the unloading quick joint can be removed, and then the hose can be taken down. Put it back in the car, which completes the unloading work.

Cement tanker trailer structure

Tank

Panda’s tank body as a whole is made of high-strength alloy steel from a well-known domestic manufacturer, with very tight welding, good airtightness, and good performance, and also adopts advanced technology, fluidized bed, non-planning structure, gas-material separation device, and safe discharge device, which effectively reduces the weight of the vehicle and improves the discharge speed.

Power device

Generally speaking, this place is two choices, one is the head power, and then another is the air compressor as power, both can be very good for unloading goods, we can choose according to the actual situation, at present relatively more people still choose diesel engine air compressor to unload goods, relatively speaking the operation is more flexible and convenient.

Manhole cover

The material of cement trailer manhole cover is cast aluminum light material cover, all of his overall fasteners have been galvanized, we can open the bulk semi trailer manhole cover effortlessly when we open it, and the manhole cover has made a unique design, which can effectively avoid the accumulation of materials so that it can also minimize the human resources and material resources for maintenance and save costs.

Aluminum material parts

Many parts are made of aluminum alloy, such as side shields, rear shields, fenders, external escalators, discharge valves, legs, etc. They can effectively reduce weight, but at the same time, they will not cause a decrease in overall safety, aluminum alloy, is lighter, and more durable, longer life, and will not rust, and at the same time, there is strong corrosion resistance, low maintenance costs.

Braking system

The cement truck powder semi trailer braking system uses the dual-pipe braking system; It is mainly composed of imported relay valves, a pneumatic primary vehicle braking system, and an ABS anti-lock braking system, which can better protect client trailer situations safety.

Suspension system

The dry cement trailer suspension system is made of high-strength steel of a famous domestic brand, which is very light. The bulk cement truck trailer suspension system, consisting of soft steel leaf springs, brackets, and U-bolts, can guarantee the load balance of each axis, and also can avoid the phenomenon of runaway and Ken tires.

Travel system

The most important part of the travel system is the cement tank truck tires. The tires can be 12r 22.5, 13r/22.5, 315/80r22.5, etc. It is recommended to consult with the business manager, and the axle adopts the internationally famous brand BPW or FUWA, which can be better applied to various road conditions.

Painting

Painting is a significant factor. If the paint is not good, it is easy to cause rust. We use domestic advanced baking paint technology, the overall paintwork well, spraying uniform, and strong corrosion resistance. The cement trailer’s everyday use of 5-8 years will not appear to be fading problems.

How to maintain a cement trailer?

  • (1) Air compressor: Cement trailer air compressor according to the manufacturer’s instructions for the bulk cement tanker truck. Be sure to add lubricant before use!
  • (2) Engine: Regularly check its lubrication and working conditions. If there is an abnormal sound, find the cause and eliminate it in time. Gear meshing and wear should be checked once a year and should not be operated at high speed.
  • (3) Air circuit: The sealing condition of the cement tanker should be checked frequently, and if there is air leakage, it should be cleared in time.
  • (4) Tank: Regularly check whether the tank leaks.
  • (5) Fuel tank air chamber: always check the air chamber canvas. And fit whether the air chamber layering is compacted.
