Grounding of Trucks One of the foundational safety measures in silo unloading is the proper grounding of trucks. J-Tec emphasises the importance of grounding to prevent static electricity buildup, which can lead to dangerous discharges. J-Tec systems include thorough grounding checks to ensure that trucks are properly grounded before any material transfer begins. This proactive step mitigates the risk of fire and explosion, ensuring a safer working environment. Controlled Valve Operation Safety in unloading operations is further ensured by integrating controlled valves in the discharge lines. These valves are designed to release (open) only when the correct truck is connected and confirmed to be properly grounded. This interlocking mechanism prevents accidental releases and ensures that material is only discharged under safe conditions, significantly reducing the risk of spills and contamination. Silo on Load Cells J-Tec installs silos on load cells to provide real-time monitoring of the material weight. This setup not only ensures precise inventory management but also enhances safety by providing critical data that can prevent overfilling or unexpected material shortages. The load cells offer continuous weight measurements, allowing for better control and optimisation of the material handling process. Protection for Authorised Personnel Access to silo ladders and other critical points must be restricted to ensure safety. J-Tec uses protect cage ladders that can only be accessed by authorised personnel. This measure prevents unauthorised entry, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring that only trained individuals can perform maintenance or inspections, thereby enhancing overall site safety. Condensation Prevention Condensation within silos can lead to material spoilage and operational inefficiencies. J-Tec addresses this issue by using polyester and insulated silos. These materials and designs help in maintaining optimal temperature conditions, preventing condensation, and preserving the integrity of stored materials. This is particularly crucial for sensitive materials that require strict environmental controls. Food-Approved Silos For industries dealing with food products, maintaining hygiene and compliance with food safety standards is non-negotiable. J-Tec provides food-approved silos that meet all relevant regulatory requirements. These silos are designed with materials and finishes that ensure the safe storage of food products, preventing contamination and ensuring that all handling processes adhere to the highest standards of food safety.   J-Tec Material Handling offers a robust suite of safety measures for silo operations, ensuring that each aspect from truck grounding to condensation prevention is meticulously addressed. By implementing these advanced safety features, we not only enhance operational efficiency but also create a safer working environment for all personnel involved.
