ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a silo for passing or feeding various kinds of powders into something else. The silo comprises a storage portion positioned at the upper part thereof and two or more hoppers which diverge from a position in the silo height, wherein a vertical internal wall of the storage portion is integrally associated with a vertical internal wall of the hopper having the exhaust port. Accordingly, powders stored into the silo can fall perpendicularly along the vertical internal walls of the storage and of the hoppers, thereby being smoothly exhausted from the exhaust ports without causing any bridging phenomenon or air locking of the powders in the silo. In addition, the falling speed of the powders is accelerated.
