4.1.2.6. Top Air Line
The air which comes to the air battery passing
through the side air line, is sent to the top of
the vehicle by means of the top air line (1). The
top air line enters into the silo tank from the top
of the silo vehicle. The entering point of the air
line could vary according to the construction of
the vehicle. The air, which enters into the silo
tank via the top air line, with an operating pres-
sure of 2 bar, both keeps the inside of the silo
tank under the pressure and mixes the inside
of the silo tank to make the products to be disc-
harged completely and easily.
4.1.2.6.1. Top Air Line Valve
Top air line stop valve controls the air which
enters into the silo tank. If it is turned off no air
could enter into the silo tank from the top. The
position of the lever which is seen in the pic-
ture is the open position. To stop the compres-
sed air, you can bring the lever to the closed
position by turning 90 degrees counter
clockwise.

4.1.2.7. Thermometer
Thermometer (1) shows the temperature of
the air that is sent to the system. The tempe-
rature of the air that is sent to the system is
very important for the materials which are sen-
sitive to heat. If the temperature is very high, it
should be cooled down to the acceptable level.
4.1.2.8. Manometers
Manometers (2) show the pressure of the air
in the air line. Two of them are located on the
air battery and also there are also manometers
on the air line. Since the operating pressure of
the silo tank is 2 bar, it is important to watch
the pressure while there is pressure in the sys-
tem. The required countermeasures must be
taken immediately when the pressure is raised
or lowered.
The number and location of the
manometer could change accor-
ding to the vehicle type.

4.1.2.9. Vacuum Valve
The vacuum valve (1) is an important protec-
tive device. It prevents a negative pressure in
the silo tank due to the changes in the air pres-
sure and temperature. Thus it protects the silo
tank from being damaged by compression.
Vacuum valve is mounted on the top air line or
on the air battery.
