Cementing silo tanks—also known as bulk powder storage silos or cementing bulk transfer systems—serve as essential equipment in oil drilling cementing operations. They store and handle cement slurry materials, bentonite, barite powder, and various drilling additives.
These silo tanks are widely used in oilfield drilling sites and exploration projects for the storage and pneumatic conveying of bulk materials such as bentonite and barite powder. By utilizing compressed air to fluidize the powder materials, the system can efficiently and continuously transfer materials through pipelines, ensuring smooth and reliable drilling cementing operations.

Advantages of Cement Silo Tanks
1. High-Quality Materials & Advanced Manufacturing
The silo tanks are manufactured using premium steel materials and advanced production technologies. Sandblasting and anti-corrosion treatment improve durability, rust resistance, and operational safety while ensuring reliable long-term performance.
2. Complete Specifications & Customization Support
A wide range of silo tank capacities and specifications are available to meet different drilling conditions and project requirements. Customized designs are also supported. The tanks can store and transport various bulk materials, including:
- Barite Powder
- Bentonite
- Cement Powder
- Other bulk powder materials
3. Excellent Sealing Performance
Advanced manufacturing processes ensure superior sealing performance, effectively preventing material leakage during storage and transportation.
4. Automatic Discharge Control System
Equipped with an automatic discharge control system, the silo tank provides fast unloading speed and adjustable discharge volume with high metering accuracy, allowing precise material control during operations.
5. Cone-Bottom Structure Design
The conical bottom structure ensures smooth material discharge with minimal residual powder remaining inside the tank.
Oilfield Cementing Bentonite & Barite Powder Silo Tank
Working Principle
The silo tank uses compressed air to fluidize powder materials inside the tank. After fluidization, valves are opened and the materials are pneumatically conveyed through pipelines to the required destination.
Product Features
- Fast powder discharge speed
- Adjustable discharge capacity
- Accurate metering performance
- No residual powder after unloading
Main Structure Components
- Material Inlet Pipe
- Exhaust Pipe
- Base Structure
- Fluidization System
- Material Outlet Pipe
- Pressure Gauge
- Safety Valve
- Lifting & Towing Lugs
Operating Instructions
- Place the equipment steadily on solid ground near the drilling site and secure it firmly.
- Before operation, check whether all valves rotate flexibly and are in the correct position.
- Inspect the inlet, outlet, and vent pipelines to ensure they are unobstructed and firmly connected.
