Standard Hydrated Lime & Soda Ash Feed Systems
Standard System in a Box
Integrated Silo, Feed, & Dust Collection System in a Box
The standard hydrated lime and soda ash feed system from Carmeuse Systems is designed as a compact ”system-in-a box”. This modular chemical feed system provides an integrated solution for receiving, storing, feeding, and delivering up to 2,500 lbs/h of hydrated lime or soda ash from truck to the point of application. The two-piece modular design includes a 12 ft. storage silo with a bin vent filter and a slurry make down/storage tank with mixer module on the lower level under the lime silo.
This “plug-and-play” type system limits the amount of onsite work required reducing the construction time needed once the system arrives to your site. Carmeuse Systems assembles, installs, pipes, wires, and integrates all components/equipment through an automated control panel at our facility prior to shipment. The pre-insulated modular box is shipped upright on a skid and fits on a conventional truck minimizing shipping costs. The upper storage silo module is shipped separately for simple connection at site.

Features And Benefits
| Features | Benefits |
|---|---|
| Compact, “system-in-a box” system | Saves money and decreases equipment footprint enhancing plant utilization |
| Fully engineered and integrated silo, feed, and dust collection system | Receives, stores, feeds, and delivers dry chemical to application point optimizing material handling efficiency |
| Pre-assembled, piped, wired and factory tested | Reduces field installation costs and commissioning time ensuring a seamless start-up |
| Modular ‘plug-and-play’ design | Minimizes the amount of onsite assembly required saving on labor costs |
| 12’ square (box) footprint | Requires no escort or pilot car to transport and has 25% more space than a conventional 12’ silo design optimizing equipment footprint |
| Single-piece welded silo construction (14’-0” in diameter) | Ships preassembled limiting the amount of onsite construction needed |
| Low-profile, top access, bin vent filter dust collector mounted on roof | Removes particles from the air minimizing dust emissions improving air quality and employee safety |
| Skirted interior lighting, ventilation, heating and insulation | Use in cold temperature regions provides flexibility in using similar systems across multiple locations |
| Complete automatic control system with PLC | Improves productivity limiting downtime adding value to the bottom line |
| Slurry make down/storage tank with mixer | Combines dry chemical and water making up and storing slurry or solution at the desired concentration |
| Equipment module ships up-right | Reduces the chance for damage during shipment allowing for faster installation and start-up |
