Densification to reduce logistics and storage costs
Kleema densification cones increase the bulk density of fine materials, reducing the volume occupied by a given mass of product. This reduction makes better use of silo, packaging, and transport vehicle capacity, lowering storage costs and, in some cases, reducing logistics costs by up to 50%, depending on material characteristics and operating conditions.
Sizing considers initial and target density, processing capacity, and feed and discharge conditions, integrating densification with other handling and dispatch stages.

Engineering focused on material and densification results
- Material assessmentParticle size distribution, initial bulk density, moisture, and flow behavior guide application assessment and the conditions required for densification.
- Capacity and target densitySizing considers the quantity of material to process and target density, seeking compatibility with storage, transport, and dispatch stages.
- Construction suited to the processSelection of construction materials and components considers product properties, abrasiveness, corrosiveness, and operating conditions.
- Integration with the installationFeed, discharge, and control interfaces are defined for the plant arrangement, with attention to particulate containment and inspection and maintenance access.
In-house manufacturing includes controlled welding, traceability, and dimensional and assembly inspections according to product characteristics and equipment operating conditions.
Silica fume and other fine materials with low bulk density
Kleema's main application is silica fume densification, preparing material for storage, handling, and dispatch with a lower occupied volume.
Cones can also densify other fine materials, especially chemicals and minerals. Feasibility is assessed according to each product's behavior and the requirements of subsequent process stages.
Main applications
- Reduced volume occupied in silos and storage areas.
- Better use of packaging and transport vehicle volumetric capacity.
- Material preparation for handling and dispatch.
