Frequently Asked Questions
Silobas compressors are used for transporting granular materials such as cement, flour, wheat, fertilizer, and sand. These product groups, which are loaded by silobas, are discharged externally through a compressor working in conjunction with the silobas. These compressors operate at low pressure and high flow rates.
In piston-type silo compressors, complete sealing cannot be achieved. Therefore, even if there is no liquid oil with compressed air, oil vapor cannot be prevented. Oil vapor in piston-type silo compressors is not a defect. However, liquid oil leakage that rapidly depletes the machine's oil is a defect. Especially in the food industry, even oil vapor is undesirable as it can mix with the transported material, which is why oil-free compressed air compressors have been developed.
If there are frequent electricity supply issues in your area, choosing a diesel compressor would be more efficient. In fact, constant voltage fluctuations can cause frequent electrical malfunctions, so in countries where diesel fuel is cheap, choosing a diesel compressor is also more reasonable. Apart from this, both provide the same air efficiency.
As Globaltech Makina, we provide spare parts for all types of cement compressors in the fastest and most cost-effective way. Turkey is quite advanced in this industry.
Compressors with 3 x 160 mm pistons provide less air compared to 2 x 220 mm pistons due to their shorter stroke length. Naturally, this results in a longer discharge time. However, 2 x 220 mm piston compressors are heavier, which means they carry less material in terms of tonnage. Our recommendation is, if time is important in your transportation tasks, go for 2 x 220 mm; if the amount of material being transported is more important, choose 3 x 160 mm. If you have extra-large silobas outside the standard, keep in mind that 3 x 160 mm will provide less air, resulting in a longer discharge time, causing the machine to run for a longer period, which will shorten the machine's lifespan.
Silo compressors have regular maintenance and major maintenance intervals. In routine maintenance, filter cleaning and checking of connection components are done. During major maintenance, the entire machine oil is drained and replaced with new oil. The machine's valve / flap, filter, cylinder, piston, and safety components are checked, and necessary parts are replaced. You can find the detailed maintenance procedures on our YouTube page (https://www.youtube.com/@globaltechmakina/videos) or in the instruction manual provided with the product.
In Turkey, like in many sectors, there are many manufacturers of silo compressors. As Globaltech Makine, we produce high-quality products that comply with global standards. In after-sales services, we have a wide service network not only in the domestic market but also abroad.
