Bulk solids silo closures are essential components providing closing and opening of the silo mouth. Their basic safety function is to cut off the flow of material at different situations, such as silo breakdown, technological failure, or conveying failure. Moreover, they can also provide some control functions. The paper deals with changes of bulk solids vertical pressure σlvo at the silo mouth during different processes (aeration, pressure shock, and bulk solids relaxation) resulting in calculated input of silo horizontal plate closure drive.
