1. Compact Horizontal Silo Design for Shipboard Installation
Traditional vertical storage systems often face installation limitations in shipboard environments due to height restrictions.
To solve this challenge, Sihyde developed a customized horizontal silo structure that significantly reduces overall equipment height while maintaining sufficient material storage capacity.
The compact design allows the system to be installed within limited ship space and ensures stable operation under marine working conditions.
2. Fully Enclosed Design for Weather-Resistant Operation
Marine environments are affected by wind, rain, humidity, and changing weather conditions, which can impact material performance.
The system adopts a fully enclosed design covering material storage, conveying, and batching processes.
This sealed structure minimizes external environmental interference, protects material quality, and ensures stable flocculant performance throughout continuous operation.
3. Vacuum Feeding System for Safe Material Transfer
The automated feeding system integrates vacuum conveying technology to enable efficient material transfer between supply vessels and the onboard production system.
Compared with traditional manual handling methods, the vacuum feeding solution:
Reduces labor requirements
Minimizes material contamination risks
Improves operational safety
Enables cleaner and more efficient material transfer

4. Variable-Frequency Screw Batching System for Precise Material Control
The system uses variable-frequency screw batching technology to achieve flexible and accurate flocculant dosing.
Based on real-time dredging conditions, such as sludge concentration and operational requirements, the feeding speed can be adjusted automatically.
This ensures accurate material supply, improves process adaptability, and maintains stable treatment performance under different working conditions.
5. Adaptive Continuous Operation System for Marine Environments
Designed for shipboard operation, the system incorporates vibration-resistant structures, compact equipment layout, and reliable automation control.
These features allow stable long-term operation under conditions involving vessel movement and limited working space.
The automated system reduces manual intervention, improves operational safety, and supports continuous 24-hour production requirements.
